Robert Novak complains he "may have been used" by the McCain campaign...
:nopity:

http://thepage.time.com/2008/07/22/novak-i-just-put-something-on-the-internet/

Prince of Darkness tells Fox News Channel: His report about McCain announcing his running mate this week may have been “a dodge” by the campaign to grab some headlines from Obama.

The conservative columnist goes on to say he’d gotten the tip from a “very senior McCain aide” and that the campaign “suggested I put it out” so he posted something online.

Now he says he’s been told by “certain people” he may have been used. Adds if that’s the case, it’s “pretty reprehensible.”

Funny, I don't remember reading anything about it.

Looks like he was not only used, but ignored as well. Talk about adding insult to injury.
