(Of course, columnist Robert Novak has also remained silent about his role, but he's an obvious partisan with an agenda.) What, if anything, is Russert hiding and why aren't his bosses at NBC now demanding that Russert, who's clearly part of an important news event, step forward as a journalist and report the facts as he knows them?
I thought Victoria Toensing's comments were an interesting take about the reason Novak wrote that piece .. first time I'd heard it that angle.... nepotism. As for Russert .. I bet he's saying a few novenas .. and his wife, Maureen, is probably skulking about for info from the dozens of leakers who are probably sources of hers. DC is mighty incestuous, isn't it?
Maybe they're waiting for Libby to telepathically deduce that he needs another redundant waiver and personal MillerTime call, too, first.
Novak didn't blow Valerie's cover. He blew Wilson's cover. How many knew that Valerie got him the job...and who is she sleeping with (a hidden party) that her "hubby" would be seriously considered. Someone wanted Joe specifically to be "the man".
