For the record

If you've followed Plamegate, you already know about the revelation that New York Times reporter Judith Miller has a notebook in which -- tipped off by someone, but the Pulitzer-winning journalist supposedly can't recall who -- she wrote the name of the wife of Joe Wilson, the former diplomat whose criticism of the Bush administration started the whole ghastly affair. Except that for some reason, although the woman's name is Valerie Plame, Miller wrote Valerie Flame.

All I can say is, if a drag perfomer does not soon emerge with that stage name, I will be mighty disappointed.
