If Novak had any,
he'd come out with a complete data dump on the Plame/dilettante/spook/tea party story, including the name of his probably unnecessary source, and put quits to the idea that the two events are related.
If Novak had any,
he'd use his editorializing ability to point out that making an open comment about an open non-secret is in no manner similar to conspiring to use official position for partisan gain during wartime.
If Novak had any,
he'd point out that Wilson is a joke and G.W. Bush is the President.

Plame's name "was obviously leaked in an effort to get even with Ambassador Wilson... who questioned how the war came to be in Iraq," Reid said. "Where is the hue and cry about this? I've been terribly disappointed over the past few days" in GOP conduct, he said. Republicans have responded that the two matters are fundamentally different. One involves a White House leak into a past incident and is being investigated. The other involves sabotage of an ongoing investigation and currently isn't.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
First, leave it to Reid to state something as "obvious" when it is NOT. It is not obvious that, regarding Plame, somebody "leaked in an effort to get even with Ambassador Wilson". No, more likely it was to explain why the hell Wilson was sent to Niger.
And then the reporter says "one involves a White House leak". Well, that has not been established, now, has it? The answer is no. In fact, Novak says it was not the WH.
But anything to divert from the memo and to draw these idiotic and treacherous "everybody does it" lines.

Republicans have responded that the two matters are fundamentally different. One, the Plame Affair, is the proverbial tempest in a teapot.
The other, the Intel Committee memo, attempts to make partisan political hay out of a matter of national security, gives aid and comfort to our enemies and is thus perilously akin to treason.
Yeah, I guess they are "fundamentally different".
