8. This was at a correspondents dinner. They were joking. All kinds

12. Is that really what it says on his button, or is that photoshopped on?

Caption of pic at above link:

In this photograph taken in June 2003, Karl Rove, senior advisor to President Bush and Robert Novak are pictured together at a party marking the 40th anniversary of Novak's newspaper column at the Army Navy Club in Washington DC. At the event a number of people wore buttons reading, 'I'm a source, not a target.' Rove is at the center of a controversy about the leaking of a CIA operative's identity which originally appeared in Novak's newspaper column. (AP Photo/Lauren Shay)

June 2003 - that's a month before Wilson wrote his Op-Ed piece.

So, what am I missing? Why was this relevant to Novak's party at that time? Was there some other scandal I've forgotten about?

13. The button is for Bush cause he doesn't know what the hell is

going on and needs a scorecard to keep track of whose a bastard and who isn't.
