Eschaton has a good catch on Robert Novak, the great douchebag for freedom. While Mr. Novak steadfastly refuses to name a source on the Valerie Plame outing, he continually insists that 60 Minutes should reveal their sources on Bush being AWOL. Partisan politics at its best, of course:

On the CNN panel show, "Capital Gang," Novak expressed grave doubts about the CBS documents, then said: "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...."

But on the Plame story, doesn't the fact that a law was involved mean that Novak should reveal his source?
