Trial of the Century

Valerie Plame, the CIA operative outed by Bob Novak on information fed to him from the White House, has filed a civil lawsuit against Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove and a bunch of John Does said to have aided in the scheme.

Cheney and Rove will certainly move heaven and earth trying to get the case dismissed, but if it survives it should be a barnburner. Any trial lawyer worth the name would pay good money for the chance to depose Deadeye Dick and Rove. Presumably, the depositions will be on videotape so that the nation may enjoy them in the same way that Clinton's discomfort during the Paula Jones matter was displayed.
