Remember Valerie Plame? The CIA Agent who’s identity was outed by Scooter Libby? Well, several years, one book, and one President Trump Pardon of Scooter Libby, later, Valerie Plame has decided to run for Congress in New Mexico.
To launch her effort, Plame stars in what I say is one of the best political ad comericials, ever. The video has gained 1.9 million views in two months. Prediction: it will put her in Congress.
The text of the Valerie Plame video called “Undercover: Valerie Plame for Congress”, goes like this:
I was an undercover CIA operative.
My assignment was preventing rogue states and terrorists from getting nuclear weapons.
You name a hot spot…
I lived it.
Then Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff took revenge against my husband and leaked my identity.
His name?
Guess who pardoned him last year?
I come from Ukrainian Jewish immigrants.
Dad was in the Air Force.
My brother almost died in Vietnam.
My service was cut short
when my own government betrayed me.
We left Washington to raise our kids in New Mexico,
one of the best places on earth.
Now I’m running for Congress because we’re going backwards on national
security, health care, and women’s rights …
We need to turn our country around.
And, yes, the CIA really does teach us how to drive like this.
You’ve probably heard my name.
And Mr. President, I’ve got a few scores to settle.I’m running for Congress because we’re going backwards on national security, health care, and women’s rights. We need to turn our country around. https://valerieplameforcongress.com/
Watch out for Valerie Plame, and she’s a Democrat.
Stay tuned.
