The thing I will remember is that he started the downfall of the Bush Administration by publishing the Plame story.

This was the end of Novak right here...he discovered he had a brain tumor only a few days later.

Any "downfall" of Bush's Administration was entirely due to it being their own fault, not Robert Novak.

Yes he did. Novak tossed a softball and Bush and his people treated it like a grenade. The cluelessness of Bush and the stupidity of people like Scooter Libby and Karl Rove was startling. I'll never understand why Cheney didn't step up. The story also exposed the cowardice and lying hypocrisy of people like Colin Powell and Richard Armitage. The whole thing was a mind-boggling clusterf+++ that didn't have to be.

...and he sat quietly by and let Cheney and his people take the fall for it, while knowing all along it was not them that had leaked it.
