Just so you know

I asked a few days ago, but never really had any doubt, that John Podhoretz is, in fact, the dumbest person in the blogosphere. Even craven little bigots at Little Green Footballs have a method to their madness (and a sad one at that of course), but Norman Podhoretz's recessive zygote project makes K-Lo and Captain Crunch seem positively sentient. No small accomplishment.

Furthermore, in blog affirmations, what Digby says:

[I]f we are to believe they all got this information from reporters who told Libby and Rove (who because there exists no political assassin shield law are forced to say they don't recall who they were) we must also then believe that throughout all of these very innocent exchanges of water cooler gossip among the press corps and the White House, neither Rove nor Libby nor anyone else thought to check with the CIA about Plame's actual job in WMD and whether it was appropriate that her job become public. Even Novak now denies that he thought of it and only used the word "operative" by accident. Nobody anywhere had a second thought that there might be a reason not to publicize the identity of someone who works in weapons of mass destruction at the CIA. This is what we are supposed to believe.

It seems more likely to me now that Fitzgerald is building an obstruction and conspiracy case. Unless he's stupid, which no one has ever said he is, he cannot believe these laughable excuses. If he has evidence that ties Novak into it after he shot his mouth off then that's a real cover-up.
