Valerie Plame: Hot or not? Depends on your news source

Last week we had the pleasure of seeing Valerie Plame testify in front of a congressional hearing to discuss the situation and aftermath of being exposed in retaliation of her husband’s critical piece about enriched uranium. Of course, coverage varies — from CNN putting the story on the front page of their website, to Fox News merily having a video on the side of the site — but the most interesting variations were seen in the pictures used on the various media outlets:

CNN (mmmm soo hot, you seducing me Ms. Plame????)

Fox News (hey, where’d the make up and Mrs. Robinson look go?!)

AOL News (Wombat lady!!! Aghhhh!)

All in all, it’s what we’d expect: on CNN, Valerie Plame is a sexual freak who I want to enrich my uranium all over; on MSNBC, she is as neutral as Keith Olbermann’s non-offensive PC haircut; on Fox News, she is an angry liberal scorpion; and inexplicably on AOL, she is medusa reincarnate.

    she’s a knockout — compare her to that Coulter skank from New Canaan

    The prize has to go to Good Morning America(iirc) which referred to her testimony as “The most compelling testimony on the Hill since Fawn Hall” !! (Ollie North’s secretary.). My feeling is, focusing on her hot-or-notness is just another case of the Shiny Object Theory; it steals column inches and TV seconds from the content of her testimony.

    “in lue of” (spelled lieu) means “instead of, in place of”, you probably meant “due to” or “because of”… better still “in retaliation for”….
