Robert Novak, Douchebag of Liberty

As may be obvious to some, I just now caught last night's "The Daily Show". To others, that's the award Robert got for saying Dan Rather should reveal his source when Robert (re: the outing and complete endangerment of Valerie Plame and those working with/for her) sniffed patricianly and said he would not.

As someone who worked as a journalist, let me say I'm very sympathetic to the issue of the revealing of one's sources. But I'm less sympathetic to double standards.
