To Drudge, Novak, etc:

I really don't see, at all, how Joe Wilson having worked for Clinton and giving money to Kerry has anything to do with the fact that two senior White House officials leaked the name of a CIA operative to a number of journalists, including you, Novakula. And Wilson didn't just work for Clinton, by the way. (link via atrios)

At least two of the top eight are going down over this.

UPDATE: Josh Marshall has some exclusive info that Novak is fibbing now by saying that he thought Plame was just an "analyst" and not an "operative". No cigar, guys. Josh also has this line that effectively sums up the attempts on the right to spin the Bushies outta this one:

This mumbo-jumbo is the best they can come up with.

As the lawyers say, when the facts are on your side, bang the facts. When the law's on your side, bang the law. When you've got neither, bang the table.

When you don't even got a table, it would seem, you bang yourself.

Heh. Indeed. Heh.

And if you scroll down Marshall's site, we see some very sensible deductive reasoning applied to Press Secretary McClellan's remark that President Bush "...knows [Rove] wasn't involved". Acutally, just in general, go to his site for updates from now on, cut out the middleman, namely me.
