It seems that one of Washington’s own has decided that she of the secret identity who hams it up for every photo-op she can get, Valerie Plame/Wilson, should get her retirement benies early.
Congressman Jay Inslee has introduced a resolution calling for former CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson to get her government retirement, even though she left the agency before she was old enough to collect it. Inslee says she was “pushed out of public service for reasons unrelated to performance, but instead seeded in politics.”

Figures from the CIA in a document Inslee included in the Congressional Record show Plame Wilson would have been eligible for an annuity of $21,541 if she had worked until her minimum retirement age of 56. She was 42 when she left the CIA and is now 43.
While I’m tempted to run this as though she may have asked Inslee to do this, it is more likely that she shouldn’t care, what with all the book money she’s got coming in, and that Inslee is trying to guarantee himself the Moonbat Vote in his next go around.
