Russert Subpoenaed in the Plame case? Did you hear this in Olbermann
Countdown tonight? He said NBC is going to fight it because it would prevent the press from getting sources to talk to them.
He said Russert was not given information to "out" Plame.

1. Any mention of CNN's own Novakula getting a subpoena?

2. No. That is what is weird. Because he said Russert had not been
at the receiving end of information to out her.

On edit:

Maybe this will shut Mr. PotatoHead the Fuck Up about his Big Russ "book" garbage. I'm beyond tired of hearing about that hack's dad.

4. If Russert were an honest broker I would have a problem with this,
but he's not. He has an agenda, he has a political point of view and he's used it to our detriment in the past. If he were to come clean and state what that objective was, then there would be full disclosure, and I'd be more flexible. But the media has been guilty of helping the right-wing with their social engineering so we have a right to know who Russert's sources are, since it obviously influenced him.

5. But what I don't understand, from what Olbermann said, is that
he was not invited to out Plame. I wonder what the truth is.

6. Maybe they think that Novak gave Russert information.
So, Russert may be a witness. If he is, his testimony could be used against Novak so they won't have to plea bargain with Novak.

7. I'm picturing a really sleazy DC area bar...
...Novak has been doing boilermakers all night with Russert, and they get into a drunken discussion about "who's got more juice in DC". As Russert talks about his election night tally board, trying to get blue states and red states straight in his mind, Novak yells out "Oh yeah? OH YEAH? Lemmie tellya sumpin, fatboy...my goo fren Dougie Fife tol me that Wilson's second wife is C, I, Fuckin'A!" He then passes out in a bowl of peanuts.
