Novak Flipped

Nothing surprising about that. We all know that Rove sunk his fangs into Novakula a long time ago and then he gave what he had to Patrick as fast as he could. He probably did a few Hail Mary's and now believes he's a good Catholic again. I guess it's nice to read it in the WaPo finally. The fun part will be to determine who his source is. Any guesses?

"A critical early success for Fitzgerald was winning the cooperation of Robert D. Novak, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist who named Plame in a July 2003 story and attributed key information to "two senior administration officials." Legal sources said Novak avoided a fight and quietly helped the special counsel's inquiry, although neither the columnist nor his attorney have said so publicly."

1. I wonder if this is what lead to the Carville/Novak incident

where Novak walked of set? Maybe he handed over Mary's name.

3. BING!!!!!!

Gees. There may be something to this. Matalin is implicated deeply in this. She is/was a member of WHIG. Her mealy mouthed wingnut spins kept the arguments for going to war on the front pages.

I'm not superstitious, but I know if I repeat it enough it has to be true

5. Not surprising

I've always assumed he sang like an ugly little canary bird.

6. Me too..

... lots of folks here were going "why isn't Novak in jail?".

The answer was obvious, and not really surprising. The more wingnut you are, the less "code" you have.
