Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA), in the name of “oversight,” and in an effort to get as much network “face time” as possible, is working overtime to sully Secretary of State Rice’s reputation by threatening to call Condi before his Committee to “investigate” the Plame-CIA leak case (Soon to be a Hollywood screenplay — no kidding!).  This is precisely where the “alternative media” (such as the blogosphere) can play a key role in debunking the accusations, charges and “evidence” that are sure to fly with reckless abandon in the coming weeks.  Careful research and meticulous fact checking can turn the tables on these efforts — remember Dan Rather?  In the meantime, get ready to watch Chairman Henry to do his best Barbara Boxer impersonation.
