Wonkette
ROBERT NOVAK, WASHINGTON REPORTER FOR 666 YEARS, IS DEAD: Didn’t this happen like a month ago? Oh, that was Walter Cronkite. Hmm! Well, Robert Novak is dead now too. Sail on, sail on, sailor. [Huffington Post]
IMPORTANT DEATHS
SO the streets of D.C. are safe now?
I predict his hearse will run someone over at 17th and M.
I understand he was buried in his cape (as requested).
oh wonkette you think everything is funny
Brain Cancer sucks, even harder than Robert Novak.
In a similar story, I went #2 in the bathroom this morning and flushed, never to see it again.
Last words: “Tell Begala that…I’ll love him…always…
trondant: nbawriter: That was even quicker than I expected.
But who’ll out the CIA agents now?
will they spread his ashes in a crosswalk, from a black corvette?
Well, at least he won’t be running over pedestrians on Earth anymore…or in heaven!
Even Denby would be cool with you making fun of this asshole.
Geez, Satan, I mean Mr. Satan, that whole “Prince of Darkness” thing - that was meant to be a “metaphor”. We in the media, we have this think called poetic license, see? Noone really believes that you and I are related in any way whatsoever, and OF COURSE I’d never really presume to…
Are we supposed to say nice things about him?
OK, here goes.
Jim Newell: I actually got some urine on my pants in my rush to piss on his grave.
Anyone have some stain advice for me?
Worse hell for Novak:
1) Sitting at a desk with nothing but James Carville and his insults for all eternity, with no exits to storm off the stage through.
Or!
2) Stuck in traffic next to a huge lineup of unsuspecting bicycle riders, but the cars just won’t MOVE!
Novak was a troll. Literally, a troll. Trolls live a long, long time, but they do eventually die. We lost an old troll today.
Serolf Divad:
Novak did a lot of damage and never acknowledged guilt. God rest his soul.
Serolf Divad: tucker carlson, breifly, before he gets ripped by Jon Stewart. then they’ll just cancel the CIA outting thing for good.
Jeebus, his head was huge even back then.
Sleep well in hell, our megacephalic friend.
In other real news:
Former South Korean leader Kim Dae-jung dies.
Jackson to be buried on his birthday.
Stay in your homes today folks, it’s one of those days where they’ll be dropping like files.
trondant: Dang. I’ve been in training for a round of D.C. Dodgem’ for when I bring my kids over to Washington to see the museums and shit.
I was looking forward to going up against Blindside Bob. A worthy adversary has swerved his last swerve.
Well, to not speak ill of the dead, I will leave it at this: He was a devoted Terp.
He’d woulda been dead a long time ago if we had the same kinda health care system as England or Canada.
Or if any number of Wonkette posters were employed on government death panels.
Damn! I was so looking forward to waterboarding him at the re-education camp Obama is secretly building outside Wasilla. Damn you, Brain Cancer!
At Cheney’s request, he’s now outing demons in Hell.
Sorry just can’t say anything nice about ol’ Dracula Cunt.
Well, ok, he is kinda rockin that white suit in that pic from the 1800’s.
De mortuis aut bene aut nihil, so… “Nihil.”
Robert Novak to Take His Place at Satan’s Side After Lifetime of Faithful Service
nbawriter: Jim Newell: Ha ha, I already had my potentially-losing-the-public-option catheter in when I saw the news. Now, what to do with this bag of piss?
His non-functioning heart may be that of blackened coal, but any time an old school conservative (and one who expressed a reporter’s skepticism at the Toby Keithisms being propagated to jump-start the Iraq War) passes away, and we’re left with Jonah Goldbergs and Andrew McCarthys and (shudder) Ross Douthats, it puts me in mind of our idiocratic decline.
Dear Bob,
Please tell the CIA agents you helped murder “hello” for me. Also, remind Hitler he owes me five bucks.
p.s. You really did not think you were going “up North”, did you?
Did someone let light into his crypt?
And why is it, deep on my soul, I feel that this means Dick Cheney has simply gotten stronger.
ph7: I’ll assume you meant demented Twerp.
Can’t muster the tears for this guy. R.I.P., jackass, and please do better next time.
This is good news for John McCain
Mourn not, Wonketteers, for even though Novak’s body may have died, his soul was untouched - it’s already been sitting in a jar on Lucifer’s desk for years now.
Damn, imagine being the guy that has to clean THAT headstone … dude’s gonna need a Level 5 HazMat suit.
About 665 years too late.
dum librul: Novak’s finest moment with music by the Clash.
Go here and choose “laughing.”
Just do it.
http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local-beat/NATL-Columnist-Robert-Novak-Dead-at-78–53572712.html
He was in most respects superior to Charles Krauthammer.
Hell’s newspaper just added a new columnist.
AL HUNT YOU ARE NEXT. NO ONE CAN STOP MARK SHIELDS’ QUEST FOR TOP BILLING.
In a year from now, how will the wingnuts celebrate his memorial? Dead CIA agent pinatas?
Good riddance, Douchebag of Liberty. I hope Valerie Plame pisses on your grave before grass grows there
Lionel Hutz Esq.: “There can be only one.” Instead of decapitation, Cheney just uses tumors.
Damn, what kind of fancy computer is that?!
Birdcrash:
That isn’t saying much. Charles Manson is, in most respects, superior to Charles Krauthammer.
Clinton did it.
Terry: Novak had a soul? Are you sure?
nbawriter: Damned meanies erasing my votes.
Tommmcatt: “Momma used to call me her little water baby.” — Master Billy Quizboy
Texan Bulldoggette: I’m guessing he’s a pedestrian in hell.
Well if you can’t say anything nice.
So, Novakula is dead and Celine Dion is pregnant.
The prophecy is being fulfilled.
GODDAMN NEO-CON ENABLER AND DOUCHE-BAG, YOU SHOULD BE BURIED IN AN UNMARKED GRAVE!
I mean Rest in Peace, gentle knight.
Noodle Salad: I thought they used glory holes.
Monsieur Grumpe:
Sorry. I know I should say something nice, but I just can’t do it.
Can’t think of a thing.
OK, wait!
He hit the pedestrian with his American made Chevrolet!
Just goes to show, there’s some good in even the most smelly of assholes.
Sometimes you just have to look really hard to find it.
first michael jackson, now this.
A lesser person might make comments about the population of hell increasing by 1, or it could be worse, he might have taken someone worth while along with him… but not I. No, this special person leaves me with wonder. Like, I wonder if you really do regret, at the last moment, the evils you have done?…how long does that take (you know, for the average person)?…are conservatives immune to such feelings?…Why CAN’T we speak ill of the dead. I mean, this ass hole deserved it. All this heavy thinking has me spent…I shall repair to the bar and celebrate, I mean drown my sorrows, over his passing.
Most fun was watching Crossfire to guess the segment in which he’d drool while jabbering on-camera and whether it would make it all the way down to his suitcoat before they cut away.
freakishlystrong: “…”
nbawriter:
“laughing” = 33%

I can’t believe the vitriol… The guy is dead, defenseless and I’m sure somebody loved the guy. You can despise the guy for all that he did and be harsh in judgment from a historical perspective, but at least refrain from this kind of talk until the guy is buried. Give at least that amount of decency. You can do better.
Wow didn’t know he was sick I feel all broken up inside. Gotta pound on back at the bar for good ole gradpa munster. Adios you miserable fuckwit.
CIA DID IT
Lionel Hutz Esq.: No light in the crypt, just a wooden stake in the heart. Or maybe a silver bullet.
He quit life? spineless bastard.
loudensspam: Why, does something magic happen when he’s buried?
lulzmonger:
ERRATA
Make that 81% … down from a high of 83%!
I’m guessing they shut it down before the end of the day. Sigh.
nbawriter: As of 1:15 pm, Eastern Elitist Time: 83% laughing, 7% Sad. The rest call him “he who shall not be named,” for fear that his army of dementors, alerted by Faux News, will come for your mortal soul.
Now he’ll just be the Douchebag of Decomposition.
Didn’t he refer to himself as The Prince Of Dampness, or something?
I’ll never forget where I was the day Robert Novak broke into CBS programming with a special announcement and tearfully informed us that Walter Cronkite had been assassinated.
loudensspam: You’re new to these parts, eh? No, collectively, we cannot do better. It’s gonna get even worse now.
loudensspam: When’s the burial so I know when I can start being snarky?
I want to see the death certificate!!! The LONG form, please.
! lleH ni skcoc skcus kavoN treboR
Sloppy, spit-flinging enunciators the world around have lost their muse.
loudensspam:
Hoo, boy, are YOU on the wrong site…
Was there a Death Panel involved?
Dun Dun Dunnnnn…
loudensspam: I just assumed that, upon his last breath, a swarm of flies flew out of his mouth and ate his remaining flesh. And I figured that qualified as his burial.
Sincerest apologies for offending.
Tommmcatt:
I know. You can always count on some finger wagging pearl-clutcher to come along and scold us about our reaction to the death of someone we’ve positively hated for decades.
Go home and unbunch your panties, missy.
loudensspam: I felt the same way when Pol Pot died. Everyone kept harping on and on about “genocide” and totally lost sight of the fact that he was a family man.
Think of the children!
DangerousLiberal: Wow… You know, I’m all for the Jon Steweartish/Wonkettish point of view to help keep the social conservatives at bay in this country but I feel this goes too far. How will you feel when someone like Ted Kennedy passes and the bloggers and commentators on the right rake him over the coals for some of the polarizing and potentially illegal things he might have done in his lifetime?
It’s this kind of low level of civility that detracts from bigger issues - like healthcare reform. Just because the other side is full of douchbags doesn’t mean we have to be.
So, Sarah Palin was right about death panels?
loudensspam: defenseless? A certain CIA spy was defenseless to prevent her outing by that fuckstick of shitbag. I’m sorry for his family– Not because he’s dead, but because they had to be his family.
Yay! The tease head “Washington Is Laughing About Robert Novak’s Death” officially appeared for the first time on my computer.
That’s a keeper.
I kind of feel for the poor sumbitch for not lasting just a little longer.
He would have reveled in the schadenfreude of witnessing John Edwards admitting to indiscretions, and might even have enjoyed his final orgasm while doing a column about same, curling his toes and clenching up his butt cheeks in the process of typing the word “bastard.”
Oh, gee. Another terrible human being has departed the earth. I’m verklempt.
loudensspam: I will ask for Ted Kennedy’s liver.
Douche.
As homage to the wise words of wise and gay Bette Davis, and as homage to the Prince of Darkness, I say:
“You should never say bad things about the dead, you should only say good . . . Robert Novak is dead. Good.”
dude never done nuffin wrong to me, so I don’t care
glamourdammerung: but Celine = pregnant = CANCER x 4.
nbawriter: 87% laughing, 7% thrilled, 5% sad, 1% intrigued. Ahhhhh…Beautiful.
so who this bobby novak guy? seems i’ve heard of him. is he kim novak’s twin sister? starred in “satan’s triangle”, didn’ he? or mebbe it was “just a gigolo”? was it “tales that witness madness”? “kiss me, stupid”? i’m sure i seen him in all those.
People, please! Let us not take this opportunity to engage in cheap jokes about the death of a not-terribly-well-liked man! After all, what would David Denby say if he were here today?
He didn’t even have to show his birfcertificate to get into hell.
I’ll always remember where I was when I got the news that Bob Novak died. Actually, check that. no, I won’t. But since it’s a hot, sunny day on our lovely peninsula, I think I am going to ask for the rest of the day off to grieve his loss and then head to the beach. Thanks for dying, Bob!
He wasn’t always a turd. Look at that adorable little nerd, tip-typing away in a taupe suit. Life betrayed Bob Novak, and so Bob Novak betrayed life. And covert CIA agent Valerie Plame. And journalistic integrity. And bike lane sanctity. And the FCC’s code of conduct on the airways. And… ahh fuck it. RIP, Bob. You were a… man.
loudensspam: Awwww, go suck a big bag of dicks!
We’re all douchebags today
I choose to remember him as described by Matt Taibbi in “Spanking the Donkey”: “The prison warden meets high school vice principal of your nightmares, shitting on your wife’s back.”
Some selections from H.L. Mencken’s obit of William Jennings Bryant seem appropriate:
“The Bryan I shall remember is the Bryan of his last weeks on earth — broken, furious, and infinitely pathetic. It was impossible to meet his hatred with hatred to match it. He was winning a battle that would make him forever infamous wherever enlightened men remembered it and him.”
And, “But what of his life? Did he accomplish any useful thing? Was he, in his day, of any dignity as a man, and of any value to his fellow-men? I doubt it. Bryan, at his best, was simply a magnificent job-seeker. The issues that he bawled about usually meant nothing to him. He was ready to abandon them whenever he could make votes by doing so, and to take up new ones at a moment’s notice.”
“In his last great battle there was only a baleful and ridiculous malignancy. If he was pathetic, he was also disgusting.”
“Bryan was a vulgar and common man, a cad undiluted. He was ignorant, bigoted, self-seeking, blatant and dishonest. His career brought him into contact with the first men of his time; he preferred the company of rustic ignoramuses.”
“He seemed only a poor clod like those around him, deluded by a childish theology, full of an almost pathological hatred of all learning, all human dignity, all beauty, all fine and noble things. He was a peasant come home to the dung-pile. Imagine a gentleman, and you have imagined everything that he was not.”
loudensspam: Assuming Trondant was on this as soon as it hit the site, it took roughly 37 min. for someone to start the handwringing nagging that always accompanies the death of a colossal asshole. For future reference, perhaps every time the death of a dirtbag is noted on this site we should track how long it takes for the prissy PC nagging to start–counted henceforth in Loudensspam Units.
@loudensspam: Amen! I, too, blame Wonkette for the collapse of healthcare reform, and for giving Ted Kennedy brain cancer. Spankings all around!
R.I.P. it up.
Oh, I was also wondering if this means we can’t sue him anymore?
loudensspam: I don’t have room in my heart for unrepentant traitors. Sorry if that’s considered uncivil.
Joshua Norton:
I know, right? Plus, remember the Freepers when Molly Ivins died?
I’ve wondered how I would react if we tried Murtha and Kerry for treason and hanged them. I’d be satisfied to say the least.
She has been freed of this Earth, and we have been freed of her.
She knows who’s right now.
Does this mean I can go to the Orange Bowl now?
Molly Irvins officially determined to be “In the Past”.
Now you know, Molly. Now you know.
Prayers for a death bed conversion.
…with a smerk [SIC] on her face, most likely.
I, for one, will not be missing her. Sorry.
I also say RIP. I do hope she found God before she died and asked him to forgive the bitter hate she carried against our beloved President.
RIP you Al-Queda lover liberal.
And so on and so on.
I feel no compulsion to be respectful to this asshat.
Please, please, Ken. Write another obit like you did for Jesse Helms.
FMA: Holy moly … that’s a Cincinnati Bow Tie, wrapped in a Cleveland Steamer, inside a Dirty Sanchez.
Well played, Mr. Mencken! Rhubarb pie for all!
He “worried about the afterlife.” (Thanks, NYT commenter.)
I wonder why?
I wonder if they managed to let Uncle Ted know that he beat out Novak for last man standing?Hell, I’m glad I’m still standing too, cancer is a bitch.
When Sarah and Joe the Plumber have taken his place as the mouths and *brains* of all conservatives then we will be wishing Old Prince was back with us. That should be in about 4 months just in time for the Illegal Immigrant Bill thing.
I wonder if they can wheel in Ted and Byrd and hold up their fingers and push the vote buttons for the Health Bill? You know sort of like El Cid, sort of.That would be very cool.
loudensspam: “How will you feel when someone like Ted Kennedy passes . . . “?
You mean, Old Drunken Drivin’ Off A Bridge With A Babe And A Blow Job is still among the living?
Or perhaps more accurately, still on life support?
FMA: reads like a generic obit for many of our fave repugs these daze
I think we’re forgetting the true victim here. After all, a brain cancer has just passed after a long struggle with Bob Novak.
loudensspam: Please explain how this “low level of civility” detracts from anything. Who is the “other side” ? Why would you allow anyone to define which “side” you’re on? There are no sides, there are only people who choose to be characterized by others. I suppose there are people who hold Novak in high esteem, I’m not among them.
nbawriter: Mencken was a monster, the Hunter S. Thompson of his time.
And damn, it’s Bryan! My bad.
What with vampires being en vogue as sexy and sympathetic creatures nowadays, can Bob Novak really be counted among the undead?
Oooh this is the best thing that happened today. Death Panel Roolz. Can David Brooks be next?
loudensspam: Just until Rush or Mann Coulter dies, there’s going to be fucking in the streets.
Carrie_Okie: Yeah, Monday sucked, but things are looking up today, aren’t they?
Here’s the bottom line: If you choose to live a life of fame and self-promotion and do not live that life with good character, you are FAIR GAME for those who never met you but were subject to the consequences of your life.
HOW’S THAT BRIMSTONE SANDWICH TASTE NOW BASTARD
“You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore! I’m going to be cremated, you drugged-out Communists!”

BAHAHAHHA. That’s a headline, sire.
El Pinche: That’s my favorite Martha and the Fucking Vandellas song.

Birdcrash: By at least an arm and a leg.
ROBERT D. NOVAK DEAD… DEVELOPING…
what more does Drudge expect?
I thought of two nice things to say about him:
I liked how he always rocked the 3-piece suit. It reminded me of the ugly gray 3-piece suit I wore when I was three years old in Olan Mills pictures, circa 1977.
He said nice things about Jimmy Carter once.
Okay, that’s it.
Jerri: The road to hell is paved with good intentions…
“And that’s all I have to say about that.”
loudensspam: I am sure people loved Benedict Arnold and Adolph Hitler too. That does not change any facts regarding the type of life they led.
denver_80203:
Perhaps waiting for the earth to split open, flames spew out and Satan step out and drag his bony carcass into the red glow of the abyss.
Dante, eat your heart out.
denver_80203: Even Drudge realized that Novak was a vampire? It’s either that or the zombie apocalypse has started. Where does Drudge get these scoops?!?
loudensspam: Nope. Can’t.
loudensspam: How will we feel when the Troglodytes & Freepers say the same foul things about Ted Kennedy? Their POLITICIANS say the same foul things about Kennedy and, lately, Chris Dodd. The ‘civility’ ship sailed long ago–far as I’m concerned Wonkette is all about acknowledging that these scumbags deserve no quarter ’cause they’ve been hitting below the belt since forever. Don’t come to a gun fight with a pocket knife. Now where was I? Oh yes, Novak: I’ve been collecting my favorite terms of endearment from this thread–so far the finalists are Blindside Bob, Prince of Dampness, Megacephalic Friend and (current frontrunner) Douchebag of Liberty.
When I was just a wee lad (before I had cable) I’d watch the McLaughlin Group on PBS and marvel, even then, at how the Douchebag could even make Fred Barnes appear relatively reasonable. That’s no mean feat you must admit.
loudensspam: B ut once he’s buried, he won’t be able to HEAR it.
denver_80203: If he can do it, then certainly a master quitter like Sarah Palin can do it, too.
The brain cancer was the most benign thing about him.
loudensspam: How’s this for better? I hope his health care was rationed by a death panel at his private insurance company. Or, that it was a CIA hit. I’d be okay with either.
norbizness: You mean besides all foliage withing 10 yards dying?
loudensspam: Tell it to the million Iraqis that died as a result of his craven pandering to Power.
Barrett808: He was against it, or at least 100 times as skeptical of the Administration’s claims as jackbooted thugs like Krauthammer or Kristol.
NOVAK: Mr. Adelman, I’m sure I talk to the same people you talk to, and I’m sure that they tell you the truth, and that is that our intelligence have found no connection, no connection whatever between Iraq and the September 11 terrorist attacks.
ADELMAN: Yes, but I think that’s wrong, too, Bob.
NOVAK: You think the U.S. intelligence is wrong?
That was in summer 2002, when the Administration was basically throwing every lie out there to justify war. If a few Democratic lawmakers had been as incredulous, maybe they could have slowed down the whole thing.
Looks like Obama’s death panel pulled its first plug. Good choice.
Iugulare Mortuos:
“to cut the throat of corpses”
Robertus Novakula:
Per Facundia quod Apostolic Animadverto has donatus mihi , ego denego vos a plenary clementia pro remission of totus vestri sins , quod ego operor non beatus vos.
Malum quo communius eo peius. Vos erant magis malum quam alius. Vos mos sino valde poena procul volatilis manus manus of deus.
Diabolus mos operor conventus obvius of bestia vobis, seculo seculorum.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, + et Spirtus Sancti. Amen.
(Post tenebras lux.)
Translation:
Robert Novak:
By the Faculty which the Apostolic See has given me, I deny you a plenary indulgence for the remission of all your sins, and I do not bless you. The more common an evil is, the worse it is, and you were more evil than others. You will feel intense pain by the winged hand of god.
Then the devil will fuck you doggy style, forever and ever.
In the Name of the Father and the Son + and the Holy Sprit. Amen.
(After darkness, I hope for light.)
Dear God,
Finally!
Signed,
Earth
This is the good thing about death.
4tehlulz: Nicely done, 4teh.
When my husband informed me this morning of the passing of Mr. Novak, we both sat in silence for a minute (or rather mintue) and then I said, “Hurry up and get dressed; Wonkette will be all atwitter and we don’t want to miss the show!”
This show, while entertaining, is only a rehearsal for the aforementioned Martha and Vandellas Fucking in The Streets that will be enjoyed when the Dark One(s) go (please be soon). Rush and Cheney will be a rush of celebration. And if their families are upset at the vitriol, perhaps they shouldn’t visit Wonkette. Nor should you Loudenmush.
@geminisunmars: Wonkette has a dress code now?!
Atheist Nun: Now that’s downright purty. Thank you for that and may I add an “Amen, Sister”?
Naked Bunny with a Whip: Well, that’s what they told me I had to do, if I wanted to join up with the Wonketters, that and give them my Pay Pal info. Right?! You had to too, dint u?
loudensspam: You’ve cause me to rethink my glee. I only hated him cause I heard he was close to Kim Jong-Il. That type of scandal-mongering has no place on Wonkette.
Thank Dog that late-term abortion in the 315th trimester is covered under Obamacare.
If pundit deaths run in threes I nominate David Broder & Pat Buchanan.
geminisunmars: “Wonkette will be all atwitter”
Oh no you dit-int!
chascates: hmmm, I’m nominating Kristol and Krauthammer. But the more the merrier I say.
http://www.humanevents.com/ - jesus christ, this fucking place is a Novak Memorial Masturbatorium
I’m glad he’s dead, and I hope he suffered mightily. I wish I could have witnessed it, and mocked him in his pain and misery.
The reason I like wonkette so much is because the commenters here realized a long time ago that Novak and people of his ilk always viewed acts of human decency as exploitable weakness to take advantage of; an opportunity to be gained, because they are evil little soul-less monsters.
When Kennedy eventually succumbs I will be sad because he helped millions of individuals through acts of good works throughout a long and storied career, and the people who rejoice at his death will do so because of his legacy of social justice, progressive change and the end of his efforts to champion the worthy causes of the common man. Mr. loudenspam, do you understand the difference?
Normally I’d wait three days before commenting the civilized world is poorer for the existence of a Robert Novak.
Please don’t read this until Robert is buried–think of this post as an “absentee ballot,” sort of.
Well this was a “win” in the morning, where’s our win in the afternoon?
Birdcrash: “He was in most respects superior to Charles Krauthammer.”
Wow, that sets a new low-bar for compliments. Limbo, anyone?
And for those trying to think up something nice to say about Novakula, the photo reminded me of one. Any journalist who started out in Washington, DC, prior to the invention of air conditioning and stuck it out must have wanted that job pretty bad.
The canonization begins. Fellow ideologue Fred Barnes in the Weekly Standard:
“Bob Novak didn’t play political games. He wasn’t partisan…It’s not too much to call Novak journalism’s last honest man in Washington.”
Talk about living in a bubble.
Mom always said to say something good about the dead.
Bob Novak is dead, good.
Bret Favre is a selfish jerk, also.
That picture reminds me of another writer.
Novak as Capote
CNN dies of brain cancerCNN pundit dies of brain cancer
And let the fuzzy redeeming begin…my obituary for him would read
Robert Novack, reporter/fabulist, dies at 78: Fuck that guy.
I remember back in the 80’s Chritopher Hitchens was on Crossfire or McLaughlin Group with Novak.
Novak started to spout his usual crap (but it wasn’t the anti-Israeli stuff) and Hitchens responded:
“More musk from the polecat”.
He repeated this again and everafter, Novak refused to appear on TV with Hitchens.
The last good thing Hitchens did.
loudensspam: You’re right. Somebody DID love the guy: Satan did, and Dick Cheney, and W, and Rove, and Karen Hughes, and Poppy Bush, and Rush Limbaugh, and Tucker Carlson, and Sean Hannity, and Arthur (Ann) Coulter, and Condi Rice, and Tom DeLay, and David Vitter, and Larry Craig, and Chuckles Grassley, and Valerie Plame, and Scooter Libby (oops! strike those last two from the list)
loudensspam: To be fair, I would prefer to be chained to Novak for an eternity in hell than I would Jonah Goldberg. But otherwise I subscribe to a Greek understanding of death and mourning. You act with nobility and courage and avoid wickedness and cowardice in order to be celebrated in death rather than defamed. You don’t die and then have your resume polished for the sake of politeness.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: Spankings! And then the oral sex?
And nothing of value was lost.
norbizness: Hey, great interview, thanks for the link. Okay, he should be buried in a marked grave.
Well, so long Bob Novak. Few shall mourn your passing and most of them are Cheneys.
Personally; I always thought Bob was a blow hard on McLaughlin.
mookworthjwilson: He’s already hard at work cultivating Julius Rosenberg and Benedict Arnold as confidential sources.
smellyal8r: Don’t forget concern troll “oudensspam.” He wants to fuck Novak’s corpse and spoon it later.
Center of hell with Judas and Brutus.
Bye, Traitor.
Vulpes82: But, but, . . . Denby IS here today. D/b/a “loudenssumfinorother.”
stew: The cape, yes, understandable. But what I’ll never fathom is his crotchless yellow hot pants. Where’s the conservatism? Where’s the restraint? Still, he’ll always be my favorite traitor.
He should be prosecuted for betraying the country, now that he can’t implicate anyone powerful.
alt-text: Two senior administration officials tell me that a family of Jews is hiding in a secret annex at Prinsengracht 263, Amsterdam.
FMA: But Bryant had been buried by the time Mencken wrote that, yes?
Bob Novak was an arrogant, mean-spirited little prick. He reminded me of an older, midwestern Mike Lupica. Very few people in DC liked (or respected) Novak. I hope for his sake, he made peace with his maker.
Marlowe: “More musk from the polecat?” I’ve fallen in love with Hitch all over again!
Hey, that cunt died at last? Woo hoo!
