Novak's good ol' days

Diane Rehm had Robert Novak on her show today, hawking his new self-aggrandizing promotional tome, The Prince of Darkness, apparently having co-opted the royal title from Richard Perle (and here I thought he was Jon Stewart's "little douchebag"). The expected whingeing about the Plame affair was the order of the day -- he was "let down" by his journalistic collegues -- until he started in on the "liberal media," a lamentable development of which he is utterly convinced. At one point, he made a remarkable confession and said that the Los Angeles Times, now gratingly liberal according to Novak, was "an adjunct of the California Republican party."

Ahhh, those were the days, eh, Robert?
