Check out Bob Novak’s hilarious 180 degree turn from Saturday’s episode of The Capital Gang :

NOVAK: I’d like CBS, at this point, to say where they got these documents from. They didn’t get them from a CIA agent. I don’t believe there was any laws involved. I don’t think we’ll have a special prosecutor, if they tell. I think they should say where they got these documents because I thought it was a very poor job of reporting by CBS. Why did CBS not go to the — to Killian’s family and get — and ask them about it, as ABC did, and got these quotes, and they said they think they’re phony documents — I thought — I thought that the “60 Minutes” thing by Dan Rather was a — was a campaign operation, rather than an attempt to get to the bottom of the truth.

HUNT: Robert Novak, you’re saying CBS should reveal its source?

NOVAK: Yes.

HUNT: You do? You think reports ought to reveal sources?

NOVAK: No, no. Wait a minute.

HUNT: I’m just asking.

NOVAK: I’m just saying in that case.

HUNT: Oh.

NOVAK: I think — I think it’s very important. If this is a phony document, the American — the people should know about it.

HUNT: So in some cases, reporters ought to reveal sources.

NOVAK: Yes.

HUNT: But not in all cases.

NOVAK: That’s right.

When Novak says “reporters should reveal sources” he means that any reporter who isn’t himself should have to reveal their sources as long as the story is a relatively trivial matter and not something like…oooh….revelaing the name of a deep cover CIA operative who specializes in weapons of mass destruction. See? There’s no hypocricy there.
