Joseph Wilson Hits Back at 'Chronic Liar' Novak for Latest Statement on Plame Case

NEW YORK Appearing at the Society of Professional Journalists convention in Washington, DC. this weekend, Robert Novak said that former Ambassador Joseph Wilson knew that Novak was going to out his CIA agent wife Valerie Plame in a column and "was not terribly exercised by it."

The account appeared in the newspaper The Hill, which included no response from Wilson. Today, Greg Sargent, who works for the popular site Talking Points Memo (while maintaining his own The Horse's Mouth blog), called Wilson who said Novak was a "chronic liar," adding that if the columnist isn't going to confession, "he's going straight to Hell."

Novak had claimed that Wilson, instead of worrying about his wife's status, was primarily focused on not being named in the column solely as an opponent of the Iraq war.

"He's lying," Wilson told Sargent.

Here is the rest of Sargent's account:

3. Republicans lie, constantly, intentionally and with zero ethical

concerns about it. They apparently feel that lieing is an important and necessary component of free speech and that lieing is totally justified when it is to, or about, democrats. Come to think about it, you don't even have to be a democrat for the gross old perverts to lie to you and about you.

They just do not see the universe, ethics and the necessity of Joe Bloc honesty the same way we do.
The greatest, the most essential element in my world is honesty--and all that implies. It includes hypocrisy, authenticity and square dealing, ie. trust.

The second most important element is the commitment to avoid causing pain, especially gratuitous pain. Associated with that is the responsibility to try to reduce pain, to the limits of my ability.

It this universe, republicans, conservatives, just don't fit.
