Upon reviewing the the clauses we initialed when we signed our contract with Lucifer, we've been informed we're requied to offer comment on Robert Novak's revealing of two of his three sources in the Valerie Plame leak. If you had tuned in to the primetime cable shows last night just after a preview of Novak's column today were made public, you would've had no choice but to believe this is a big, fat, important story that should occupy at least the brief minutes between you swallowing a Lunesta and deep sleep. So what gives? Novak fingered Karl Rove and CIA spokesman Bill Harlow as two of his sources, though his primary source remains cloaked in pseudo-anonymity. Psuedo, because Novak told special prosecutor Robert Fitzgerald all about his main source, though he's not identifying this person publicly. Which means today's Novak column is going to get a lot of attention — for revealing nothing we didn't already know before.
