Richard Hohlt is one of Washington Mutual’s lobbyists, receiving close to $40,000 in the first half of 2007. He is also a major Republican fundraiser and then there is this little gem: Hohlt is also the leader of a group of Washington, DC insiders called the “Off the Record Club” and is known as an […]
You can watch it live here. From the opening questions, I can kind of see how the Republicans are starting to frame this. They are going on the premise that Robert Novak leaked Plame’s name. The question to these Republicans should be, “what was Robert Novak’s security clearance at the time of the article?” We […]
Robert Novak has a column today questioning McCain’s conservative credentials. Nothing shocking there – all the neo-cons are doing the same, but something did catch my eye: McCain as the Republican nominee would need those “very conservative” voters. He will encounter some of them at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington Feb. 7-9. His […]
Jeralyn is reporting that this is exactly what Robert Novak was saying on FOX last night: Bob Novak just said on Fox News that Condoleeza Rice might well be John McCain’s running mate.

In another stunning development, Robert Novak today reveals in his column – published in PostOpinion on Page 31 – that even after House GOP leaders knew that Foley had written an inappropriate e-mail to a 16-year-old former male […]
For those who have missed it, there has been a new little battle that brewed when Robert Novak told CSpan this past weekend that he would never watch Jon Stewart and referred to him as a “self-righteous comedian taking on airs of grandeur”. Think Progress has the video of Novak’s interview. Well this week Stewart […]
PRESIDENT Bush’s visit to Katrina-ravaged Louisiana Wednesday follows six months of bungling that threatens political catas trophe for the state’s Republicans. He will boost his belated $4.2 billion plan finally to provide housing for people made homeless by the storm, but it may be too little, too late. Rep. Richard Baker, a 10-term conservative GOP […]
Back in August when the Valerie Plame investigation was really heating up, Robert Novak tried to say he learned that Joe Wilson’s wife was Valerie Plame through Who’s Who in America. Of course the Bush supporters jumped on that because they thought it would exonerate any wrong doing. This of course was not the case […]
