Transcript of Call to Bob Novak, 7/13/03
NOVAK: Look - the guy did a report for the CIA about the
yellowcake intelligence from Britain. The report's a good piece of work,
and nobody has suggested otherwise. You tell me his wife also works for the
CIA.
CALLER: Exactly.
NOVAK: So why would I report that? It's not part of the story at all. What
possible reason would I have for including it except to puff myself up, a
baldfaced attempt to make myself look like more of an insider, a sort of
pathetic, Safire- esque way of reminding people that I have the ear of
senior Administration officials? Or possibly as a special favor to said
officials in order to maintain my standing as a go-to guy and ensure I'll
get more table scraps in the future. What other reason could there be?
[Pause.]
NOVAK: Oh.
CALLER: I think we understand each other, don't we, Mr. Novak?
NOVAK: I think we do, sir.

Fanatical Apathy, and thanks to xian!
