Ok, the whistleblower defense wasn’t really cutting it for Karl…so, what’s next? Well, the new GOP talking point seems to be “Novak outed Plame first.” So, if true, does this get Rove off the hook? Not hardly. As both Salon‘s Tim Grieve and Slate‘s Tim Noah explain more eloquently, confirming Plame’s identity to Novak is still a big-time offense (as is passing it on to TIME‘s Matt Cooper.) But, this does mean that Novak had a second source among Dubya’s “senior administration” officials. Ari Fleischer, perhaps?
One thought on “A Second Spitter?”

I wouldn’t doubt it. Any of those punks could have done it. And lucky for us, there’s no need to restart the speculation; we can just dig the lists out of the MeFi archives or whathaveyou.
Oh, and hooray for terribly subtle Seinfeld references.
