This Reuters picture of Valerie Plame at a Philadelphia press conference today with Hillary Clinton …

… reminds us, whatever happened to the lawsuit Plame and Joe Wilson filed against Vice President Cheney, Karl Rove and Scooter Libby for “gross invasion of privacy”?  We seem to remember that a cornerstone of the Wilson-Plame family is the sacrosanct value of privacy.  Don’t they really hate publicity?

I had forgotten that Valerie Plame once appeared in Time magazine in her pajamas.  Thanks to Lew Waters for the reminder, and to Joe Wilson for wearing a suit when most of us are just hitting the snooze button. (and a hat tip and thank you as well to Texas Rainmaker.)

Valerie Plame said her work “was not common knowledge on the Georgetown cocktail circuit.”

Georgetown cocktails?  Like the kinds served at this Georgetown watering hole?

Today’s Washington Post “Reliable Source” column mentions that Valerie Plame is writing a book.

Gee, hope that doesn’t materially harm the lawsuit she’s filed against Vice President Cheney, Scooter Libby, and Karl Rove for “gross invasion of privacy.” After all, privacy is sacrosanct in the Wilson-Plame household.

Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson are suing Vice President Cheney, Karl Rove and Scooter Libby for “gross invasion of privacy.”

Makes sense.  A cornerstone of the Wilson-Plame family is the sacrosanct value of privacy.  They really hate publicity.
