Viveca Novak to testify, what's up?

[Kingofalldems]

Rawstory-- www.rawstory.com Has a story up that Novak will cooperate with Fitz. Has to do with Rove and his lawyer. Anybody got a clue?

1. Don't know. I just hope the Fitz is gathering more evidence against

Turd Blossom.

2. The Raw Story story is confusing...

I am pig-ignorant. I've never heard of Viveca Novak (until I Googled her moments ago). It is quite confusing to refer to Viveca Novak and Robert Novak in the same article without making the distinction that they are in no way related to each other.

Furthermore, in discussing Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson, there is a sentence referring to "her husband", but to a quick scanner, it creates the illusion that Viveca Novak is married to Robert Novak.

A simple disclaiming sentence would have deflected the confusion.

Come to think of it, maybe I should notify Raw Story.

4. Never mind,

The story originates from Associated Press and there doesn't seem to be any means of notifying "them".

3. Is she the daughter of Robert Novak ??

Could she be the source for Robert Novak or vice-versa? Since Scooter seemed to like female sources, maybe she told her Daddy?

5. According to a story on Yahoo, she is no relation to Bob.

Here is the relevant text on this link:

<snip> F.Y.I. - I sent an email to Viveca Novak, via Time’s website, and asked her is she was related to Robert Novak…she replied, as below:

No, I’m not related in any way to the man referred to by many as the Prince of Darkness, nor to any other Novak you’ve ever heard of. I get the question all the time and understand why, given the current investigation, people might be curious. Hopefully I’d have the sense to recuse myself from covering the story if we were kin.
Thanks - Viveca Novak <end snip>
