Robert Novak should never be allowed to write another column or appear on any TV show ever-unless he's doing an interview that explains why he is Karl Rove's messenger boy. He is a national disgrace.
Her status as a NOC should have been enough to keep her protected by the people she worked for. When these apologists run around and try to muddy up the waters with debates about whether she was an undercover agent or not is very disappointing.
