"He's under stress"--Press covers for Novak's hissy fit.
I've heard several of these guys, including the Chicago Trib guy--Jim Warren, make wishy washy statements like this and not at once point out that leaker in WH aside, Novak PRINTED the name of the agent so he's a leaker too. They are trying to absolve him.

1. I hear telling the truth
is a great stress reliever. Maybe Novak should try it sometime?

12. Stress???
How about being a CIA operative worrying about some clown like Novak blowing your cover?

That's stress.

18. But LISTENING to the truth, apparently, was too much to bear
The truth to repugs is like a cross to a vampire!!
It freaks them out!! Can't think why...

2. on Fresh Air last week
a couple of reporters, one from the NY Times, the other from the Wall Street Journal, were talking about the Plame affair. Both of them showed, in the tone of their voices, their distain for Novak. So I don't think eveyone in the press is trying to excuse him.

11. But LTTE are so ineffective. But what means can we put pressure on the
press. Our representatives, if they had any guts, could call press conferences. Press has to notice that.

7. I hate the bastard
Fuck him.

I've heard/read his bullshit since I was kid growing up outside Chicago. As I recall, his ugly fucking mug graced the pages of the SunTimes.

He's one I'd love to be in line behind...say exiting a plane...and just tell him what a completely worthless piece of shit he is. And he would just have to stand there and listen since he'd have no place to go.

10. I agree with your sentiment, but
your recommended course of action is just too distasteful for me. In fact, the image is horrifying - not a good way to start the saturday.

In no universe I can imagine, could having physical sexual contact that corpulent, rotting, scummy, lying bastard ever be a even a remote possiblity.

At least when Evans was on board, they actually broke some news. Ever since he passed, Novak has become entrenched as the older male version of Judy Miller.

How can the GOP continue to bitch about a "liberal" media at the same time that they actually have paid hatchet boys and girls, even Gannons, on their payroll? Why do we let them get away with this shit?

9. He is under a lot of stress.
And he should be.

The important thing about this, I think, is that it is a good indicator of the anxiety that those involved in the plot to expose Plame are under. It's funny, as I had posted a little essay in the middle of the week ("On a positive note") in which I stated that those who are being investigated were under a tremendous amount of pressure in the past two weeks.

14. Part of it could be his ill-fitting teeth
He's always looked like he has someone elses teeth in his mouth. Must be a cut-rate conservative dentist that he uses. That can be uncomfortable, I'm sure.

20. His head is shrinking.
I'm surprised one of his co-workers hasn't been hit by them yet. Must have some pretty good glue.

15. Maybe he'd find life less stressful in a jail cell.
The Sun-Times needs to suspend him too!

17. And WHY is he under strss?
Oh, yes, because he ALMOST GOT A WOMAN KILLED. An employee of the federal government, not to mention putting at risk the lives of all Americans.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for the slimebag?
