Hinchey Hates People Who Leak Names

In a bizarre twist of fate, Maurice Hinchey has come out railing against the Bush administration, saying it lacked integrity and character. According to Hinchey, the name of an undercover C.I.A. operative was leaked specifically to discredit a critic of the Bush administration's rationale for war with Iraq. This assertion has grown in strength thanks to the recent indictment of "Scooter" Libby.

In a slightly unrelated piece, Maurice claims to feel "sorry" for ex-nominee Harriet Miers. Apparently, Hinchey only thinks qualified people should be nominated to the nation's highest court. This arrogance will be his downfall.
