This time 20 years ago Valerie Plame, a CIA operative, found herself at the center of a political firestorm when her covert identity was exposed. This uncovered a complex web of deception, high-stakes politics, and blurred the lines between national security and political ambitions. It also sparked a change in career for Valerie that saw book and movie deals, speaking arrangements and ultimately a big for congress!

Plus we need to talk about Chingy. Howard Baily Jr. aka 'Chingy' released his single 'Right Thurr' this week cementing himself as a modern day Mother Goose. You'll find out why as we explore this theory in intimate detail.
