Steve Plunk really must remember to let the 12 members of Scooter Libby's jury know that Libby was just committing repeated perjury for no significant reason. I'm sure they'll be interested to hear it.

Novak knew his business and represented a conservative yet pragmatic way of thinking. I actually enjoyed seeing him on TV doing battle.

I don't see his involvement in the Plame affair as a negative and certainly not a stain on his career. Didn't you hear? It was Rove and Cheney. Seriously the Plame affair was a tempest in a teapot. Wilson played the press and the politicians like he knew what he was doing. That attention whore got his moment of fame but it's soon to be forgotten.

It was his traffic accident that probably led to the discovery of his brain tumor.

That's how it transpired for my sis-in-law. She smacked a tree in the middle of the day for no apparent reason. Scans and questions brought the crashing news of a brain tumor. Had she not had the accident it may have gone unchecked for much longer.

Thankfully benign.

I hope all goes as well for Mr. Novak.

I don't think I'll ever forget Novak's and Jack Germond's none too friendly exchanges on The McLaughlin Group. Most amusing thing Germond said about Novak: “Proof positive that Ma Barker and J. Edgar Hoover were more than just good friends.”.
