Bob Novak, the rightwing columnist who treasonously revealed the clandestine identity of CIA WMD investigator Valerie Plame, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, but recently returned to producing short squibs for his syndicate, including the latest on Joe Lieberman’s chances of being named as John McCain’s VP on Friday:
Reports of strong support within John McCain’s presidential campaign for Independent Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman as the Republican candidate for vice president are not a fairy tale. Influential McCain backers, plus McCain himself, would pick the pro-choice liberal from Connecticut if they thought they could get away with it.
But they can’t get away with it — and this has been made clear to McCain by none other than Joe Lieberman himself.
Lieberman surely doesn’t know that much about Republican politics, but he has close Republican friends. One of them prevailed on Lieberman to tell McCain that a McCain-Lieberman ticket would be a disaster for all concerned, and especially for the GOP.
We should be so lucky.
Well, since they are BOTH heavily influenced by the lansky-Bronfman wing of the organized crime syndicate, the consiglieres probably told them it would not be a kosher idea. [For further information, Google Organized crime + either McCain or Lieberman.]
By all appearances he doesn’t know squat about Democatic politics either.
Other reports claim that it is Rove who went to Lieberman, but that Lieberman refused to talk to McCain. It would be just like Rove to use Novak to leak the false story that even Lieberman sees the ticket as a “disaster”, thereby blocking McCain from making the choice. Would Novak run Rove’s story for him?
Who told Novak about Valerie Plame?
Gee did bob recover or is this part of a rove sham? Does he have medical problems? Teddy was under the knife in how many days and in/out of hospitals? Maybe his went into remission when rev haggerty prayed?
