Bob Novak and Me
By David Corn - Politics DailyI learned of the death of Bob Novak from an e-mail sent to me by an NPR reporter looking for a comment. And I felt awkward, for my last public exchange with the conservative columnist and TV pundit who relished his "Prince of Darkness" nickname had been an ugly one.

By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyHaving conquered the media adoration circuit, the Scott McClellan book tour winds its way up to Capitol Hill next week, for an appearance before the House Judiciary Committee to testify in a hearing into the Valerie Plame leak case. Not content to let the conclusions of a Federal prosecutor or the admission of the actual leaker be the final word on the subject, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) wants the former White House Press Secretary to testify about the role of top White House Officials, including Vice-President Dick Cheney, in potentially misleading the public about ...
