Novack 'Probably' Regrets Plame Column

Novack 'Probably' Regrets Plame Column

In an interview on CNN's Situation Room Friday, Robert Novack said he "probably" regrets writing the column that revealed the name of CIA employee Valerie Plame.

Conservative commentator Novack, who had not been on CNN since the summer, when he walked off after an argument with Democrat James Carville, is leaving the network after his contract was not renewed.

"I probably do (regret writing it)" he told anchor Wolf Blitzer, "because it's caused me so much trouble. I don't think I did anything wrong, but as a practical matter, it wasn't a big scoop. You know, I think it was in the seventh paragraph of a 13-paragraph story or 11-paragraph story.... And so it was just a throw-away line."

Blitzer said he had been prepared to explain his role in exposing the name, which prompted a government investigation into the leak. "I was set to go on CNN at the time of the indictment of Scooter Libby and tell about my role of the case, things I haven't disclosed on the grounds that the case was over. And to my amazement the special prosecutor continued the case and late summoned a new grand jury."

1. It's caused HIM so much trouble?
What's the matter, Douchebag of Liberty wasn't an impressive enough title for him, he's trying for something bigger?

I'd be inclined to subscribe if they could spell the Douchebag of Liberty's name right...;)

9. He also told a right-wing group
If you want to know who outed Plame, ask the pResident!!!

I still think the culprit is Karl Rove, in which case B* would probably know about it.

What's it going to take to impeach the idiot???

11. Well, it's nice to see that at least his regret is selfishly motivated.
I was a little worried about him there for a moment. Like he might actually have had regrets about outing an undercover CIA agent. Nice to see that it's still all about him.

15. I probably have no sympathy...
...for this asshole. I probably think that the "trouble" caused was to Joe and Valerie Wilson.
