NYTimes goes after Rove/Novak relationship.

All the dirty laundry on Rove and Novak has been out there for years, alot of it from the Bush's Brain book and BBC's Greg Palast reporting, and it's finally breaking through into the news channels. I think the fact that the NYTimes printed this highly unflattering article is a pretty clear sign that the political stars of both Rove and Novak are falling.

Conventional wisdom must believe they are going down, and in traditional Washington style, everybody's gonna pile on to get even for even the slightest of slights. And after all the hatchet jobs these two have done, things are gonna get really ugly.

Couldn't happen to two more deserving guys.

The other firm belonged to Mr. Rove's chief competitor, John Weaver, and Mr. Rove was so angry, Texas Republicans say, that he retaliated by leaking the information about Mr. Mosbacher to Mr. Novak.

Keep your eyes open for the re-emergence of the bug Rove planted in his own office in the Mark White governor's run.
