It Rises Again To Feed On The Blood Of The Living
Novakula, in danger of becoming irrelevant, has spilled a few more of his dwindling stash of Plamegate beans:
Robert Novak said Wednesday that special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald knows who outed a CIA agent to the Chicago Sun-Times columnist but hasn't acted on the information because Novak's source committed no crime.
Novak also hinted that he personally didn't rely on the Fifth Amendment - which protects people from testifying against themselves - in Fitzgerald's investigation. Fitzgerald is investigating who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's name to Novak and other reporters in an effort to discredit her husband, a critic of the Bush administration.
As to whether he testified in front of the grand jury, the dark lord was circumspect: "I'm not going to tell you because it's none of your damn business." He also said that "investigators know who leaked the information, although he did not say how they know." And, in a sign that, just perhaps, the Kool Ade is wearing off, Novak opined that "the edge seems to be right now to the Democrats," Novak said. "...President Bush is not what I would call a skilled politician. He seems aloof, almost arrogant."
Aloof? Arrogant? Well, Novak should know.
In a related story, it looks like a Rove Plamegate indictment is coming.

It's kind of funny, the monster went to Fox News and even they won't have him on frequently enough to feed his ego.
God, I DO NOT miss seeing him or hearing his voice. (or seeing the little spit bubbles pop out of his mouth when he talks)

"A Rove Plamegate indictment is coming."
From your mouth to God's ear.
Okay, this is going to sound crazy to the non-Buffy fans, but Novak reminds me of Dracula in the "Buffy Meets Dracula" episode. She stakes him, he comes back, she stakes him again, he comes back again, and she says, "I'm standing right here!" as she stakes him again. Maybe that's what Bob needs to make him go away permanently.

"Almost arrogant?" ALMOST??
Once again, Novakula and his vocabulary are late to the party. Groan.
"Almost arrogant" was Bush's conduct in the election of 2000. That train left the station YEARS ago.
Dear Mr. Novak, for future reference, try "astoundingly arrogant", "beyond arrogant", "clownishly arrogant", "dizzyingly arrogant", "egregiously arrogant" and so forth down the alphabet.
Get a clue. Jesus.

Right, Rob. The Democrats have the edge because cornpone shuck and jive Bush seems aloof. The guy that everyone wants to have a beer with is losing his mojo because he seems aloof? Why he's almost downright arrogant!

Novak is the creepiest thing out there, not counting Bill O'Felafel. Who, by the way, was mentioned (by whom I don't know--I just read it at Ezra's) as a replacement for McClellan.
Can you imagine? O'Felafel being the press secretary? Think of the material!
