Is That Midge? (Behind Valerie Plame)

A tipster tells us the person standing in the background of the Valerie Plame testimony on Capitol Hill this week was none other than Midge Potts.

Potts, who ran unsuccessfully in the Republican primary for Congress this year, has apparently been spending a lot of time in Washington D.C. over the past few months to protest the war in Iraq, and more specifically the Bush administration.

CNN is currently running a story on Midge on Headline News. My colleague, photographer Doug Magditch, has a link to the story on his blog.

We ran a story on Midge and her views about a year ago. Potts was believed to be the state's first transgendered candidate for Congress.

So is that really Midge behind Valerie? The message boards seem to say so.

Take a look for yourself HERE.

. . . And let me know!

It's definately Midge Potts. In the CNN story she says and spells her name. Then she says "and I'm from Springfield, Missouri." No question.
