Columnist Robert Novak performed a satirical skit at the Gridiron dinner.

WASHINGTON (March 7) - The serious news of the day - from Saddam Hussein's spider hole to Medicare to gay marriage - served as fodder for song, dance and silly dress-up Saturday night in the Gridiron dinner, a 119-year tradition of Washington journalism.

In the most unusual turn of this year's satirical script, syndicated columnist Robert Novak - who sparked a federal investigation by printing the name of an undercover CIA officer - was taking the stage as that CIA officer's disgruntled husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson.

Dressed as Wilson in top hat and cutaway coat, Novak sings of himself: "Novak had a secret source ... so he outed a girl spy the way princes of darkness do. ... Now John Ashcroft asks Bob who and how, could be headed to the old hoosegow."

Is there any depth they won't sink to?? How the fuck is this funny?

1. I'm not laughing

And my husband has claimed for years that Novak suffers from crippling haliotosis -- he says he can tell just by the way the guy looks.

2. Yes this is funny

Just like Charlie Manson doing a humorous skit about Sharon Tate's murder is side-splitting humor.

Only someone who knows he would NEVER face prosecution could mock committing a federal felony like this.

4. Exactly

This really infuriates me. I hope Joe Wilson hears about this and blasts Novack publically. And I think the CIA should speak out on this.

7. My father was a journalist, Novak is an idiot

My father worked for dailies from Hololulu, HA to Portland, OR to Boston, MA for over 40 years. I promise you that there is NOTHING in common with what Novak does with what my father did.
