Well, now it’s official: Valerie Plame’s congressional campaign is underway, and she’s got a video to prove it. Check this action out (and we do mean action):

Squee, you guys. Squee.

Noting her Ukrainian Jewish ancestry was a nice touch and totally makes up for the fact that she’s a raving anti-Semite. But that’s not the only offensive thing about that ad. There’s also this:

When she lies in her opening commercial…she'll fit right in. https://t.co/aP25YAc4JT

Lied through her teeth.
It’s kind of amazing that Valerie Plame can claim Scooter Libby leaked her name, and everyone nods along, as if former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage was just erased from history. https://t.co/0ELxGL2Zti

Just another honest mistake, no doubt.
I feel like she left a few things out. Cool music, though. https://t.co/ueQETKSHvI

She also left out any compelling reasons to vote for her.
Valerie Plame's launch spot for her campaign for congress:
1. Suggests she was stationed in Iran & DPRK (she wasn't)
2. References coming from "Ukrainian Jewish immigrants" to deal with accusations of anti-semitism
3.Uses CIA seal
4. Makes her campaign about scores to settle pic.twitter.com/pBp656W3A5

In her commercial she makes her run for congress about revenge for herself and not about service to the country. It's just another "orange man bad" candidate. https://t.co/UrAAXbspSi

It’s almost as if this is all just a giant vanity project.
Isn’t this the person who screamed about their “cover” being blown yet posed for pix in a magazine and is now running for office?
Reckon all the danger she was in just…..disappeared. ?

No "undercover" agent has loved the spotlight like Valerie Plame.
Ugh. Politics is like a never ending fungal infection.
