Robert Novak's final appearance on CNN was characteristically defiant in the face of perceptions widely held in the liberal media. He insisted that he did not really "out" Valerie Plame, and that her identity was widely known prior to his column. Mr. Novak stated that he wished that he had not written the column in the first place because it has caused him so much trouble. He re-asserted that the CIA told him that Ms. Plame would likely not be sent on a covert mission again, and that her name and careeer were well known around town. Valerie Plame was not a secret agent as CNN and the other media have tried so dilgently to make us believe.
Overall, the interview was well done, and provided lots of historic footage of Bob Novak covering many major political stories. The various video tributes to Mr. Novak's long and distinguished service was wonderful.

Ian Schwartz has the entire video at the political teen.
As a footnote, Jack Cafferty "lost it" on The Situation Room today. This is cable "news" at its worst! Read the transcript.
