Who's Who In America?

confirmed... via TPM:

In a column that ran in the Sun-Times on Monday, Novak suggested he learned Plame's identity partly from reading Who's Who in America. A CNN source said a producer had placed a copy of Who's Who on the set Thursday prior to the taping, apparently so it could be consulted while Novak was asked about the issue.
Novak lied. To someone, at some point, about the Plame affair. And he smelled out his own network's ambush against him. He couldn't deal, so he played up mundane comment by Carville and overreacted himself right off the set. Question is: which part of Novak's story was a lie? The first part about getting Plame's name from 2 senior administration officials? Or the second one about finding out in "Who's Who in America?" It's time for Novak to pay the piper. He's the one who started this shit... hopefully it ends with him too.
