Tallahassee, Fla.: On Feb. 18 The Washington Post ran a piece by Victoria Toensing in which she claimed that “Plame was not covert.” In hindsight, should an editor have stopped her from writing that?

Howard Kurtz: No, because it was an opinion piece in the Outlook section, and in an opinion piece, you get to make your argument as best you can. Certainly, Valerie Plame testified last week that she had covert status before she was outed by White House officials via Robert Novak.

Chicago: Even Donald Trump has said he thinks Bush should be impeached. That’s about as mainstream as it gets, no?

Howard Kurtz: Did The Donald use the I-word? I only heard him say in that CNN interview that Bush was the worst president in American history, but I may have missed part of it.

Baltimore: As a lifetime left-winger, the repeatedly silly talk about impeachment amuses me, because the people calling for it seem not to have sounded out the phrase “President Cheney” in their heads.

Howard Kurtz: Cheney as impeachment defense: interesting point.
