Bob Novak and the Nuclear Option... hehe...
"Bob Novak's behavior on CNN today was inexcusable and unacceptable," a CNN spokeswoman said. "Mr. Novak has apologized to CNN, and CNN apologizes to its viewers for his language and actions. We've asked Mr. Novak to take some time off." In my humble opinion, Novak's behavior has been inexcusable for a long time, not the least of which was knowingly blowing a CIA Agents cover. The incident led to new spin attempts on the Right to excuse Novak's exposure of Valerie Plame, this time by pointing out that Ms. Plame's name is in Who's Who, as the wife of Joe Wilson. I have carefully scanned the Who's Who Article, and don't find a reference to her CIA role, so I am a bit confused as to the relevance of the Who's who article, especially in light of the fact that Novak has already acknowledged that a White House official gave him the information...

You know, I read that Who's Who entry for Wilson that Kevin scanned and posted, and I see no mention in it of Valarie Plamee being a secret CIA OP. So what exactly is the point of Kevin's post? Personally, I can't see how anyone can defend Novak's actions. They were wholly unprofessional. Novak was told, before appearing on CNN, that he would be questioned about his involvement in the Rove/Plame scandal. If he didn't want to fact the questions, then he shouldn't have agreed to go in the air. How is using profanity and walking off the set even defensible? Could you imagine the outrage from the right it a leftie did the same thing? We'd have a solid month of "the left is so full of hate" threads. But if one of the most vile of their own does it? Oh, that's just fiiiine... Right. Whatever. Posted by: tas at August 5, 2005 08:20 PM Beats the hell out of me Tas, but I suspect his readers read it as some sort of proof that Plame was already OUT as a CIA agent. I need to find my secret decoder ring. Posted by: David Anderson at August 5, 2005 09:44 PM You know what I find funny? How the left is roundly derided as a bunch of whacky ass conspiracy theorists if dare to speculate on, well, anything. Even when we've planted the burden of proof squarely on the right, like in the case of the Downing Street Memos, we're still rabid lefties who aren't dealing in facts. Yet the right can make posts like the one you linked to at Wizbang, provide absolutely no proof whatsoever to back up their arguments, and suddenly it's okay? What the fuck? They proved that Joe Wilson, a married man, said he had a wife. Oooooh! Hot shit here! Most married men never mention the fact that they have a wife! Real big fucking scoop! Christ almighty...
