That Robert Novak is quite the prize, isn’t he? Not only did he serve as a willing conduit exposing Valerie Plame, he also passed along information his Republican buddies gathered by surreptitiously accessing Democrat computer files (story).
And if you think about it, he had to know he was getting information that had not been gathered on the up-and-up. I mean, he’s getting private memos about confidential Democratic strategy — from his Republican friends.
As with the Plame case, he was either too dimwitted to understand that something was wrong with this picture, or he knowingly aided and abetted unethical activity for partisan purposes. You can guess where my suspicions lie, but in either event, I really don’t understand why this man still has a job.
…and while it may be — unlike the above — more a case of ignorance than malevolence, I can’t say I’m awfully impressed by Peter Jennings, either…
…or Wolfie, for that matter…
