To me the shocker here is that Novak isn't in McCain's back pocket - there is no joy in Mudville!
Novak: 'Reprehensible' if McCain faked VP announcement
Published: Tuesday July 22, 2008
Columnist Robert Novak tells Fox News that he suspects that might have been used as a pawn to steal publicity from Senator Obama after airing a rumor that Senator McCain planned to shortly announce his vice presidential pick.
"I had a suggestion from a very senior McCain aide late yesterday afternoon that he was going to announce it this week," Novak told Fox News' Martha MacCallum. "They suggested that I put it out."
"I since have been told by certain people that this was a dodge," Novak lamented. "They were trying to get a little publicity to rain on Obama's campaign. That's pretty reprehensible, if it's true."
