Open Mouth, Insert …?

The leak columnist Bob Novak revealed in his infamous Valerie Plame column may have been one of the last he can expect out of the Bush administration after curious comments he made recently to a John Locke Foundation luncheon in Raleigh, North Carolina. Throughout the entire investigation into who leaked Plame’s name we’ve endured a parade of journalists who’ve leapt from ring to ring to ring of this circus. After countless battles with the special prosecutor, testimony before grand juries, jailhouse drama, public purges and newsroom explosions, I thought this tale couldn’t get stranger. <snip>

... And of course, conspiratorial minds united. My favorite was this idea that White House guru Karl Rove got Novak to make his comments in an attempt to garner a public show of support since Rove remains under the gaze of the prosecutor.
