Bob Novak Says Bush Knows Plame Leaker

Robert Novak, by Steve Bradenton


Yesterday, The Washington Post refocused the nation's attention on the main issue in PlameGate: who is responsible for naming Plame to Robert Novak for his article?

A rat jumping from a sinking ship, Novak told guests at a luncheon of the John Locke Foundation down in Raleigh, N.C:
I'm confident the president knows who the source is.

I'd be amazed if he doesn't.

So I say, don't bug me. Don't bug Bob Woodward. Bug the president as to whether he should reveal who the source is.
Now we're getting somewhere!

Only, could someone please clarify: why are other reporters getting heat from Justice but not Novak? Is that animal more equal than others -- or does the special prosecutor have something special in store for Novak -- something a little juicier than Judy Miller's little vacation?
