Newspaper columnist Robert Novak is still not naming his source in the Valerie Plame affair, but he says he is pretty sure the name is no mystery to President Bush. “I’m confident the president knows who the source is,” Novak told a luncheon audience at the John Locke Foundation in Raleigh on Tuesday. “I’d be amazed if he doesn’t.” “So I say, ‘Don’t bug me. Don’t bug Bob Woodward. Bug the president as to whether he should reveal who the source is.’ ” News Observer, via the Countdown with Keith Olbermann newsletter
Makes note to self … gotta watch Keith tonight for more! … oh sweet mama … the preznit knows who’s who … Jesus, Bob, to save your leathery ol’ hide, you’ll turn on anyone, won’t you … Is that SMOKE I see comin’ from the White House ’bout now? Ohhh … it’s red hot in there … Karl’s hair is on fire!
Reddhead at firedoglake blog has much more juicy stuff. And Raw Story has linked to “National Review: Rove’s supporters getting nervous,” its own original story “Leak prosecutor currently in court,” and a second original Raw story, “Rove ‘hid evidence’.”

My daughter has her winter school concerts tonight (3 of them as she’s in band, orchestra and chorus). One day I’ll have to get a Tivo.
I don’t have Tivo either … would be nice, eh?
Three concerts? Ohhhh … you’re a good parent :):) (I’m laughing.)
They do it all in one shot. Same HS auditorium, because many of the kids are in more than one thing.
Someone’s got some ‘splainin’ to do.
Hmmm, shades of “What did the President know, and when did he know it?”, isn’t it.
“I’m confident the president knows who the source is, I’d be amazed if he doesn’t.”
Well yeah Bob. Given that he was probably your source I bet you would be amazed.
I wonder what Bush did to deserve this?

Sorry guys, no time to diary this issue today. Just a quick post to the Open Thread;
I had made this brief comment on the Open Thread on Monday. Ending with this sentence:
Looks like the Financial Times agrees, though they are more diplomatic:
The slush-fund is what I bolded above.
Imagine – spending a few billion dollars a year to provide long-term development, health, education and proper food security. Imagine the peace-building that could be made.
But no – apparently, this administration believes that democracy and progress will be provided by spending about a hundred times of such an amount to wage an illegal war.
But did not the preznit effectively tell the American
people he had no idea who leaked Plame’s name? Is Novak telling us he thinks the preznit is a liar?
that he’s calling the President a liar. Or maybe he’s calling him a leaker.
It will be a lump of coal for you Bob, and your source.

Learning the Florida lessons fast, wasn’t brother Yeb in Iraq for an educational tour?
BAGHDAD (New York Times) Dec. 13 — Less than two days before nationwide elections, the Iraqi border police seized a tanker that had just crossed from Iran filled with thousands of forged ballots, an official at the Interior Ministry said.
The tanker was seized in the evening by agents with the American-trained border protection force, at the Iraqi town of Badra, after crossing at Munthirya on the Iraqi border, the official said. According to the Iraqi official, the border police found several thousand partly completed ballots inside.

Just delete WMD and replace with FORGED BALLOTS
Iraq Border Chief Denies Forged Ballots Seized
“This is all a lie,” said Lieutenant General Ahmed al-Khafaji, the chief of the U.S.-trained force which has responsibility for all Iraq’s borders. “I heard this yesterday and I checked all the border crossings right away. The borders are all closed anyway,” he told Reuters.
Iraq’s frontiers are closed for the period of the election.
Interior Minister Bayan Jabor also denied the reports, which the New York Times ran prominently, quoting a single unnamed Interior Ministry source, and said it was an attempt to discredit the election process.
(LOL) BooMan’s blogger got the evidence ::
Hundreds of tankers lined up with forged ballots to enter Iraq from Iran for tomorrow’s election
