Hear Novak Tell All! You pay only $595

[Rose Siding]

Robert Novak, whose "confidential" sources helped him light the match that set off the Plamegate wildfire, is now on the Internet blithely hawking "confidential" sessions with Washington's power elite. He's only asking $595 a person. The invitation says: "This meeting is 100% off the record." The e-mail letter goes on to explain that the secrecy is necessary so that the speakers can speak candidly and tell the truth. The truth, in the nation's capital—that's certainly worth $595.

Tom Winter's e-mail said, "You are among the very few to be invited to the upcoming Evans-Novak Political Forum." (Rowland Evans, Novak's journalism partner for many years, died a few years ago.) This forum—Novak puts on two of them every year—is to be held at Washington's "exclusive" University Club on September 22.

The request for my presence was very tempting. The letter from Winter began: "Dear friend, When was the last time you sat in a room just a few feet from the likes of Vice President Cheney or Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, asked a question and got a straightforward answer?" A straightforward answer. Just the thought of witnessing one in Washington sends a tingle up the spine.

Suspense, too, hovered over the invitation. You see, Novak doesn't tell you in advance who the "confidential" speakers are going to be. "To get the absolute best, most interesting speakers at every Forum," the letter explained, "Bob Novak waits until the last possible moment to invite many of the speakers. He wants to make sure his guests benefit from the most current topics possible." The letter, though, did provide a list of some past speakers. Karl Rove, a regular Novak informant, was one of them.

1. Maybe CNN stopped the checks

while he's on 'extended leave'. LOL

His legal fees are probably skyrocketing out of control by now. Gee! Do you think he wonders where his good friend Karl Rove is now?

2. Legal fees were my thought also
