Capitol Hill hearing as fashion event: Armani, Valerie Plame, Katie Holmes, and Washington's big politics

10:28 AM / Posted by Syed Sabhi Zaidi /




Valerie Plame appeared before the Senate Committee elegantly dressed and undeniably photogenic. The Washington Post managed to prepare and publish a full-scale review of Valerie Plame’s fashion sense and a Dana Milbank column in the form of a movie script (tweaking the sale of her story to the movies). A fashion-concerned artcle by Mary Ann Akers’ has been titled “Hearing Room Chic." We learned from this fashion piece that Valerie Plame wore “a fetching jacket and pants” from Armani. Also: Katie Holmes should be a frontrunner to play her in the movie because she, too, favors Armani.

Valerie Plame, a former CIA agent at the heart of an Iraq weapons scandal, blamed the G.W. Bush administration for "carelessly and recklessly" blowing her cover.

Plame was giving evidence to a Congressional committee, some of whose members claimed the Bush administration deliberately leaked her name in an act of personal vindictiveness after the agent's husband, the former US ambassador Joe Wilson, cast doubts about Iraq possessing WMDs.

Valerie Plame is not a ranting anti-Bush activist that the White House can easily dismiss. She appeared before the Committee elegantly dressed and undeniably photogenic.

Barely a word about this appeared in the media yesterday about the hearings and surrounding events.

Despite a little attention in the media, The Washington Post managed to prepare and publish a full-scale review of Valerie Plame’s fashion sense and a Dana Milbank column in the form of a movie script (tweaking the sale of her story to the movies).
