Bush’s ‘Big Time’ Leak? Did Robert Novak’s other White House source leak from an undisclosed location? Now that Karl Rove has been outed as one of two administration sources who confirmed the columnist’s Valerie Plame smear, Beltway insiders are speculating the other White House big mouth belongs to Vice President Dick Cheney. “People have to understand that [Judith] Miller, [Matt] Cooper, and Novak were all Iraq War zealots starting as early as 2001, and Cheney was relentless about going to war—he was ready to literally destroy anyone who got in his way,” a Capitol Hill insider tells Radar. Since Cooper’s recent revelation that Cheney’s chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, corroborated Plame’s CIA status for him, media attention has been focused further down the White House chain of command. Whoever ultimately emerges as Rove’s partner in crime, senior Dem officials are determined to do a little House cleaning. “I don’t know for sure it was Cheney, but this is an administration that won two Presidential elections by discrediting their opponents,” says one Democratic congressman. “If a Democratic administration had engaged in this type of behavior, the impeachment hearings would have started by now.” A spokesman for Cheney’s office did not return calls for comment by press time.
