Bob Novak to Appear in Gridiron Club satire as Joe Wilson

Robert Novak, the clandestine columnist

Can Robert Novak succeed on the stage by playing the outraged husband of a CIA agent whose identity as a deep-cover spy had been revealed by a certain syndicated columnist?

The answer will become apparent March 6 when Novak dresses up as retired diplomat Joseph Wilson to perform before Vice President Cheney and some 500 other guests at the annual white-tie Gridiron Dinner at the Capitol Hilton.

In pursuing his day job as a nationally syndicated columnist, Novak identified Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA operative working in the field of weapons counterproliferation. The July 14 column has triggered a full-press FBI probe to find the leaker, amid much journalistic soul-searching.

Novak swears he’ll never tell anybody, including Wilson, who will also be at the dinner watching Novak (aka Joe Wilson) sing of his sad plight to the tune of “Once I Had a Secret Love.”

The lyrics begin:

“Novak had a secret source/who lived within the great White House/and one day his secret source/told him of my beloved spouse …”

Novak, also a pundit on CNN, isn’t talking. But some other insiders, including Gridiron President Al Hunt of The Wall Street Journal, confidently predict that the Novak-Wilson number will prove to be a showstopper.

Oh, where is my sense of humor.

I thought for sure it was an Onion satire. If true, we've definitely slipped into bizarro world.

color me NOT suprised :puke:

peace

So now we know not only is he a traitor and a person of questionable judgment and a media-whore - he's also got very poor taste.

Now that we have intelligent commentary on the web, Novak has been exposed for what he is: an overpaid corporate nobody.

Keep on tankin', Bob.

:grr: :mad: :grr:
just rubbing our collective noses in their treachery
:grr: :mad: :grr:
God please let Begala or Carville bring this up

TRAITORS

Almost as funny as WH officials leaking the name of an undercover CIA agent, literally endangering the lives of both her and her contacts.

Did I mention that she was working in the field of WMD proliferation? The punchline comes when a terrorist with a Pakistani nuclear bomb sets it off in New York Harbor...

Who said Republicans don't have a sense of humor? :grr:

compared to Novak :puke:

If true, it's another perfect example of the abject arrogance of these people.

that this could happen.

Have you ever seen these kind of insider frat-rat parties on C-SPAN? I saw one where all of the DC journalists were congratulating themselves and giving each other awards, and the keynote speaker was Dick Cheney himself!

There is something insidey and sick about the whole DC culture.

That WILSON would even sit there and observe this spectacle makes me just SICK. If he does that he will lose my support, and I have been a STAUNCH supporter, since the first FROG MARCH remarks.

I am sickened by the DC press. They are in collusion.
