Valerie Plame, the non-secret CIA officer who made a big issue of the leak of her name in relation to her opposition to President Bush, and who was vaunted and celebrated as a daring, glamorous superspy on the cover of Vanity Fair, turns out to be a garden-variety anti-Semitic bigot.

She got attention by tweeting this:

Afterward, she tried to justify it:

1) First of all, calm down. Re-tweets don't imply endorsement. Yes, very provocative, but thoughtful. Many neocon hawks ARE Jewish. https://t.co/m5oGgKPo2a

Then she said it was a momentary lapse she was sorry about, and oh, by the way, she is part-Jewish herself:

I missed gross undercurrents to this article & didn't do my homework on the platform this piece came from. Now that I see it, it's obvious.

With a headline like that?  She missed the "undercurrents"?  The headline didn't give her a clue?

It was disingenuous because it turns out she's all too familiar with the anti-Semitic ravings of UNZ.com, the fringey site she posts from with regularity.

Someone looked at her jaw-dropping tweet about Jews being the cause of wars, and further scrutiny turned up a long string of tweets bolstering her anti-Semitic orientation:

Here's why that is not a believable excuse: pic.twitter.com/uhLLQDUBmt

Remember: this was a person vaunted and celebrated by the left for her opposition to President Bush and the Iraq War.  As with the woman she raised campaign funds for, Hillary Clinton, whom Dick Morris insisted screamed about "[f------] Jew bastards," anti-Semitism may have been at the root of it.  Anti-Semitism is common on the fringes of the left, and it's found not solely among troglodytes.  It's right there in suburban Virginia, where "a wife, mother of twins, author, anti-nuclear activist, and a former covert CIA ops officer," as Plame describes herself on her Twitter front page, lives.
