It's all academic, because there was no leak.

Well, the whole deal is an issue of nat'l security. I care.

Just joined December 8th, eh?

Since you are so concerned about national security, don't you agree that Joe Wilson should be indicted for outing his own wife in 2002?

In fact - who cares? No one but Novak, Woodard, Wilson and all democrats.

You forgot Chris Matthews.

Oh, Novak is no Democrat...........

Like you and all the rest of the Demo(n)cRAT cabal, I am very concerned about this egregious breech of national security.

As a matter of fact, since both you and I are so concerned about national security, don't you agree that Joe Wilson should be indicted for outing his own wife in 2002?

If you apply Clintonian speak to this. Novak might be saying that if the source was revealed, the Presindent would know who the person is, as would 90% of Freepers.

Don't forget that Novak said this person was 'no partisan gunslinger'. This additional clue that the president knows who it was lends more creedance to it being Tenant. This would square with the President saying that anyone found to be involved in committing a crime would not be working in his administration. This assumes that the CIA was commiting a crime when it tried to influence a presidential election.

Why isn't Novak on the pokey for not revealing his source?

Quite a deflection.

He feels the heat, he knows throwing out "Bush" will distract the leftie hounds like a red herring.

Probably 20 or 30 people know.

Why Bush?

How about Novak asking his "no partisan gunslinger" to come out?

Uh, yes he is, unless he's recently changed his party affiliation. He's always been a conservative democrat, but his hatred of George Bush has pretty much made him undistinguishable from Pat Buchanan.

Don't see any national security issues in this case. It would appear the Special Procecutor doesn't either.
Wish the good guys didn't talk to the MSMedia jerks as much as they do.

Right, Bob! The whole world knows that Joey Wilson outed his wife. The Prez isn't the last to know this either.

Please Novak, this game is getting older than you; just tell us who it is! What a jerk.

If the President told Novak that he knows who the leaker is...

But...but...but Newsweak says the President is in a bubble.

 

 

(BTW, they also said the exact same thing about President Reagan. In fact, I think they just recycled the 20-yr-old article.)
