[...] ThatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s exactly the point! Despite specifically being asked by the CIA not to divulge PlameÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s identity, Novak did so anyways. The WSJ has led the right-wing establishmentÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s defense of NovakÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s reprehensible behavior. And that is why Novak has to return the favor by, as Carville suggested, showing Ã¢â‚¬Å“heÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s got a backbone.Ã¢â‚¬? WSJ: “Mr. Novak has since appropriately apologized for losing his cool, but Mr. Carville is lucky he didn’t get punched in the nose.” [...]

I think that maybe there’s another spin to this whole Plame game…

The Plame Travel Agency!

Just wanted to give you all a good laugh for a moment or two! This Bush Administration spin has yet to come out.

there is A reason why robert novak, is known as the (the prince of darkness). Just ask the Wilson’s. Novak and judith miller, are traitors. know wonder miller’s husband is cruising the caribbean by him self.He’ll have some tall tails to tell judy, when he returns about the big one that got away.

Exactly right Gerlad. It should make no difference, but the Repubs are very good at picking an obscure point such as Wilson’s wife involved in some way in the decision to send him to Niger and then sending up a huge smokescreen to cover the real issue. I would bet no one goes to jail on this one, the Bushies are still too powerful. They still seem to get everything they desire. Case in point: John Bolton in now the ambassador to the United Nations.

When the douche (Novack) speaks, he foams at the mouth. It is a disgusting display…….just like his columns.

The CIA told Novac twice NOT to write about Plame or it would cause “difficulties.” Therefore Novac ignores the warnings, writes about Plame, naming her, because CIA didn’t tell Novac what KIND of difficulties. That’s my take on this. It’s reminding me of Condi Rice before the 9/11 Commission hearings explaining how a memo pointing to al Qaeda planning to use aircraft to attack targets within the US wasn’t acted on because NO-ONE TOLD HER IT WAS IMPORTANT!

Time to change channels or turn off the television whenever Novac is on, quit reading his articles and let editors know you’re not reading them, time to quit being an audience for him. Time to make his an empty voice in the wind.

Who cares who the hell ask Wilson to go…It makes no difference. The fact is that Novak leaked the name of an agent that was undercover, and was warned no to. I hope he dies in jail.

I have often wondered why Bob Novak wasn’t put on a specimen slide and placed under a microscope before now. It seems that this “waterboy” for the “administration” has been given a free pass for entirely too long. But then from what I’ve seen and heard from all these neo-con hacks for the last five years has just solidified my opinion of the Republican Party in general. Their agenda has never been about how to solve America’s problems, it’s been about making people afraid, pointing the finger of blame at the “liberal/gay agenda/anti-Christian/welfare state” Democrats. The Republican agenda, from as far back as those halcyon days of Reagans’ “trickle down” theory to todays sorry assed excuse for foreign and domestic policy is about one thing and one thing only, serving the corporate masters who really run this country. I’ve said in past posts that people like Novak and others of his ilk are a symptom of a larger sickness that has systematically infected this country since the good old days of “Tricky Dick” and his 40 thieves to Dubya’s “all hat and no cattle” crew of corrupt self-serving thugs. I’ve never seen such hypocrisy as those “compassionate conservatives” who claim to love America and yet clearly hate the average working class and poor American and do their utmost to undermine the very foundation that this country was built on. Yet nothing will change as long as we still give people like Novak and Limbaugh and the rest of the neo-con shouters a soapbox to rant from. When we stop calling these people “journalists” (which is a complete perversion of the job title) and start calling them what they truly are (how about “ideological propagandists”)we will continue to see the rapid decline of “our” country. Here’s to hoping that 2006 and 2008 bring a much needed anti-biotic for what ails us.

Are you “f-ing” kidding me? This is the sad state of your party.

Trust me, when you have to use statements like this

“Pay particular attention to the vague second sentence, from which two very different meanings can be gleaned:”

You have no point, no evidence and your a stuck splitting hairs on grammer. Honestly, take a step back and look at yourselves! THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT YOU!

I like the beginning statement of Novak in his column so much better than the one used at the beginning of this topic.

“…the allegation against me is so patently incorrect and so abuses my integrity as a journalist that I feel constrained to reply.”

“CONSTRAINED” ??? Does anyone else sense Novak’s panic in hastily writing his little screed?

It doesn’t matter in any event. In spite of all we now know the President – incredibly ! – has stated that he has “…full confidence in Rove…”; why ? Because the fix is already in but out of sight.

Fitzgerald’s term as a special prosecutor is set to expire in Oct; he serves at the pleasure of the President. If he doesn’t bring indictments by then how much you weant to bet he’ll be put out to pasture so that a more compliant attorney can quietly sweep the whole mess under the rug.

The Douch’ebag(novack) certainly might have corrected all the wing-nutjobs who pushed the She-set-the-whole-thing-up “authorized” BS. Heck, he probably just sat there on crossfire and let his “partner” lie left-and-right for a full half-hour about the deep-meaning of novach’s words. While he sat there!
They lied. He did it, lock ‘im up! Next!!!
Peace, Cheech.

Novak slimes Wilson by suggesting that he, “Wilson, a critic of Bush,”. This is patently false, as Wilson contributed to the Bush Campaign in 2000, and was appointed by Bush 41. I don’t think he’s too old for hard time…

Novak clears the air…only to make it unclear again

Bob Novak took the pages of America’s op-ed sections today to try and clear his name on the issue of who leaked Valerie Plame’s name and why he was a part of it (sorry, Bob Novak doesn’t get links here). Claiming to appear somewhat…
