Novak on McClellan

Sorry to link you to another column without providing much personal analysis...things are a little busy right now, all of a sudden!

McClellan was on "Meet the Press" yesterday and repeated most of the same talking points that he did for Tim Russert's colleague, Meredith Viera. It is always fun to watch Russert question his guests, though; he is fearless. I've only seen him rattled once, when he interviewed Hillary a couple of months ago (February, maybe?). I don't think Russert is buying McClellan's sudden noble urge for authenticity. Neither is Novak, who should know, since he was a key player in the whole Plame affair.

Novak feels that Plamegate is really at the heart of McClellan's stated grievances, which to Novak proves that McClellan has been influenced along the way by the Daily Kos, hard left crowd. Read Novak's column here.

With every day that passes, I think it becames apparent that Novak is right. McClellan told no less than the perky Katie Couric that he is intrigued by Barack Obama (!!!) and may vote for him (???). Oh my.

I don't think we'll be seeing McClellan in the No Spin Zone anytime soon. He has clearly cast his lot elsewhere. UPDATE: Oops!! McClellan headlined on O'Reilly tonight. I'm in the middle of watching it now (11:42 PM)
