I was very impressed by how lucid and straightforward Patrick Fitzgerald’s press conference was today. My eyes have insta-glazed for two years now whenever I’ve encountered the words “Valerie Plame.” He managed to lay it all out in a way that makes me feel I actually understand what just happened. Of course, he can probably do that better than anyone since he’s apparently the only person in the world who actually knows what happened, but still. Good show.
