He really is a national treasure, isn’t he?:

NOVAK:…I’d like CBS, at this point, to say where they got these documents from. They didn’t get them from a CIA agent. I don’t believe there was any laws involved. I don’t think we’ll have a special prosecutor, if they tell. I think they should say where they got these documents because I thought it was a very poor job of reporting by CBS…
HUNT: Robert Novak, you’re saying CBS should reveal its source?
NOVAK: Yes.
HUNT: You do? You think reports ought to reveal sources?
NOVAK: No, no. Wait a minute.
HUNT: I’m just asking.
NOVAK: I’m just saying in that case.
HUNT: Oh.
NOVAK: I think — I think it’s very important. If this is a phony document, the American — the people should know about it.
HUNT: So in some cases, reporters ought to reveal sources.
NOVAK: Yes.
HUNT: But not in all cases.
NOVAK: That’s right.

The hypocrisy is rich even for the Prince of Darkness. It was Novak who last year outed undercover CIA WMD specialist Valerie Plame in an attempt to discredit her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson. The fact that it is a federal crime to reveal the identity of an undercover agent hasn’t stopped Novak from refusing to reveal his sources.

It’s OK to break the law if you are a Republican. It’s encouraged if it is done on behalf of the administration.
