Even Bob Novak Needs An Editor
His new autobio, The Prince of Darkness, is a great read that tells all about his leading role in the Valerie Plame affair.
But we hear that Robert Novak needed a good editor just like the rest of us scribes to get it to press. At 662 pages-not including 16 pages of pictures-it's half of what he originally submitted.
His team tells us that it goes on sale next week after he officially unveils it on Meet the Press.
A big media tour is scheduled but so far no stop at CNN, which in 2005 unceremoniously dumped the longtime guest host-then under fire for revealing Plame's name-after he blurted out an obscenity.
