Transgender War Veterans support Valerie Plame

As if the Valerie Plame/Scooter Libby/Iraq War/CIA orgy of a scandal could not get any weirder, CNN throws transsexual protesters into the frenzy.

This is the story of Midge Potts, who is a prominent member of the feminist anti-war group "Code Pink." She used to be a he, and a Navy veteran of the first Iraq war. Now she is a transgender woman who has run for congress in Missouri and has been making frequent and very pink appearances at Plame's hearings to Congress.

The story is CNN-worthy because reporter Jeanne Moos said that watching Potts' talented maneuvers to stay in the camera's view kept her from nodding off while reporting on the hearings. The video is interesting to watch, with very pink and blonde Potts sometimes mimicking the natural blonde (and natural woman) Plame's gestures.

Now if only I could think of a good blonde joke involving Midge Potts/Valerie Plame/Britney Spears right about now...
