Work with Democrats? They can't be worked with, only crushed. That is the biggest mistake of his presidency, he tried to make nice with ferrets. Anyway, I made my case for why this was the right move, although I made no mention whatever of political expedience. Sometimes they're different. I like a man who knows the difference.

Nothing would ever get done if that kind of "thinking" prevailed in Washington.
Come to think of it that might not be such a bad idea.

In the first week of September 2006, after over three years of controversial speculation and an ongoing grand jury investigation, the general public learned initially from news reports and advance word of the book Hubris, by Michael Isikoff and David Corn, that Novak's "primary source" of information about Joseph Wilson's wife Valerie Plame being a "CIA operative" leaked in his column of 14 July 2003 ("the original leaker") was former Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage.[36][37][38]
From the same article you linked. Foot-in-mouth?
Bwahahahaa..
