[Read the article: The seven deadly sinners of the Scooter trial]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You are deliberately misunderstanding the situation.
Obviously no one was charged with outing Valerie Plame because Fitzgerald could not penetrate the cover-up of the outing of Valerie Plame. Libby was charged with the cover-up. The crimes Libby is charged with are very serious, and deserve the most serious deliberation in a court of law.
Additionally, you are being disingenuous to say that there was no victim here. Clearly, Plame's career as an undercover operative was destroyed.
National Security was not compromised? Hardly. Her superiors in the intelligence community strongly disagree with you. And so do I.

Umm, Tim?
[Read the article: Maybe he needed a credenza for his undisclosed location]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I really appreciate your humor/sarcasm/sense of irony. It's fun to figure out what you're really saying sometimes, you know, when you're havin' some fun at the expense of the idiots you skewer. But this post.........ummm.....yeah, you need to sorta say your point out loud, because I don't know what the heck you're talking about.
Keep the faith, bro.

The Gawker way for comments
[Read the article: Men who hate women on the Web]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Joan
I haven't read Nick Denton's Valleywag posts, so I'm not going to talk about that.
However, Gawker Media has a lovely way of ensuring that their comments are moderated: they select you, either by invitation or audition, as a commenter and give you commenting privileges. They will also execute commenters who don't adhere to their standards. This has the effect of keeping the comments crisp and fun and engaging.
And, on the subject of your post: I am a large and forbidding man. I wish I could follow you around the web and punch sexist asswipes in the nose. I'm handy in a scrape. I'm just sayin'.
Good luck.

Brightstar- way up at the top of these posts
[Read the article: "The Feminine Mistake"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Whenever I read most of your posts, I am struck by how poor the quality of the specific women in your life must be for you to speak so dismissively and suspiciously about the motives and plans of women in general.
It may be that you need better quality women in your life. A better quality of man attracts a better quality of woman. This is as true as honey attracting bees (or whatever honey attracts).

Suckers!
[Read the article: Coulter: "Who's running this holocaust in Darfur, FEMA?"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She did it to you again. Just stop. Please? Because this addiction is getting serious. Really. She's no good for you. She just bleats and blats and you just keep printing it. I know you're angry. I'm angry, too. She's mean. Yes. Like, really REALLY mean.
But stop now. It'll be okay. Just let go. You'll be better for it. Promise.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Your bodyguard here again, Six feet tall, 220 pounds, standing behind you, arms folded, tattooed triceps flexing, waiting for someone to say the C-word.
(ridiculous, of course. But just wanted you to remember there's at least one muscly, tattooed, feminist dad who has your back. Keep takin' it to 'em)

A dowdy Princess of Wales....
[Read the article: Diana's birthday]
[Read more letters about this article: Here].......would be savaged by the tabloids. Brown says that Diana's son should not marry a pretty girl like that one girl he likes and instead marry a dowdy little thing, and then that dowdy girl will be left in peace. How untrue that seems. She would be torn apart for her lack of style and frumpitude.

DemocratIC!
[Read the article: Who needs Judy Miller, anyway?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"...but she lumps McCain in with Democrat presidential contenders ..."
Tim
Can you PLEASE use our proper name? They are Democratic presidential contenders. I hate that you and others have picked up this Frank Luntz-inspired name-changing of the descriptor of members of the Democratic Party. They love it because their new name for us ends in "-rat." Please stop helping them and from now on use the correct name.

McCain should be AHEAD
[Read the article: How to interpret a dead-even horse race]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree with the idea that McCain should be ahead right now. Any polls showing him even with them (and he has been somewhat even for some time now) don't scare me. Whomever gets the Democratic nomination is going to tear him to pieces. He should be afraid. Very afraid.

I don't understand this
[Read the article: Another pretty face of a generation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I adore Emily Gould's writing. I am male, in my 40s. I was on Gawker the day she showed up. I found her voice a big change from Jessica Coen, but her honesty won me over. And her vulnerability. And she is just damned smart, and witty as hell. I find her to be a delight.

She was just what they needed
[Read the article: How did Sarah Palin do?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She delivered a good political speech impeccably. Her down-home accent will play well in people's living rooms. Too bad for the Repubs that she's not the one running for President. John McCain is, and they are stuck with his particularly horrible speaking style, my friendsssssss.

I've noticed....
[Read the article: "The Women"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here].........that in discussions and criticisms of 'chick flicks' (I'm a straight man and I actually like chick flicks, though this sounds as dreadful as SATC) there is usually a line about how 'nothing with a penis is ever going to see this movie.'
I say: So what?
No critic ever says of a Michael Bay movie that 'nothing with a vulva is ever going to see this.' My wife does makes fun of me for liking 'splodey-cinema and zombie movies.
This is just something I've noticed. I say to you ladies: enjoy.
