Looks like eventually Robert Novak will get his turn to sing, either like a man or like someone's bitch.

Novak is already self-destructing like Paul Krugman*, William Safire and all the other once credible political analysts who've decided to become rabid partisans.** He's always had the softest brain of the Sunday morning political bullshitters. Hell, Tucker Carlson is half his age and can speak rings around him. I've watched Carville discuss politics with Novak. Its fucking embarrassing - like watching a doddering fool take punches he doesn't even know he's receiving. Jail him or give him more airtime - either way, no one's taking anything he says seriously. Lightweight.
As to Scooter, he should be boiled in poison oil. He's three things I can't stomach - sneaky, Napoleonic and super-disciplined... a trifecta that would give only Richard Nixon a hard-on. Unlike Nixon, however, from what I read of Scooter, he's way too organized to let something human, like paranoia or lust for power, overtake his twisted discipline to futhering the agenda of his overlord, Reich Chancellor Cheney. My guess is that if the Plame thing gets too close to good ole' Twisted Mouth, Scooter will fall on the sword and think of himself as the greatest patriot since Ollie North.
In a perfect world, Novak outs Scooter, gets disgraced in doing so and Scooter slinks off to do 9 mo in some min security joint.
** Novak doesn't appear to carry 1/4 of the native intelligence of either Krugman or Safire.
* By training, an economist, I believe. I have no idea how he is qualified to write on topics from WMD to school prayer, but if someone knows something about his qualifications that I don't, I'm all ears.
