NOVAK AND JOYNT IN NATHANS BACK ROOM

I can't say this January 2008 Q&A Cafe was one of Robert Novak's last interviews, but it was in the prime of his last year before being diagnosed with brain cancer, which would claim him in August 2009. He was conservative, controversial, thoughtful, difficult, interesting and a force in Washington for years, especially during the time partnered with Rowland Evans writing their syndicated column and newsletter, the Evans-Novak Political Report. He was a regular on TV. He played a significant role in the Valerie Plame affair, and that's discussed in this interview. (Note: Plame also appeared at The Q&A Cafe)

Carol Joynt has "a perfect eye, an infallible ear and the unequaled gift of rearranging the alphabet into words which both entertain and mean f**cking something."
