Plame and Scooter
I knew that if I looked long enough I could find bad Scooter puns (updated Saturday afternoon):
Scooter Crash [MediaChannel.org]
Scooter Broke Down [AlwaysOn]
Scooter rides out of White House [Jossip]
'Lies' about Iraq intel put a revved-up 'Scooter' on the warpath [New York Post]
And I'm not exactly sure what Michael Kinsley's getting at here, but I'll share anyway:
You can't knock the names, though. Above all, there is the wonderfully Pynchonesque Valerie Plame. Plame: headline writers and copy editors seeking a short label for this saga were drawn like moths to this mysterious beauty, a one-syllable word of only five letters. And yet the eponymous heroine of the Plame Affair or Plame Controversy has actually been off-stage the entire time. Except for a brief appearance in Vanity Fair, posed rakishly with her husband in a sports car, it's been Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark.Any ideas?

The New York Times style on Plame interests me. It's the only paper I've seen to call her Wilson instead. I assumed when I read it that it's probably more accurate, that she goes by Wilson now.
But if that's the case, why did everyone else stick with Plame?
Some of these are good, "the wheels have fallen of the whitehouse" Funny
