Good riddance.

About Rober Novak.....

There, that's about all I have to say.

RIP Bob, loved you on crossfire.

On a side note, I bet this thread can't go 20 posts without it turning nasty.

Damn it only took one. What a bunch of hacks.

My you rest in peace you Partisan shill. The same peace you dedicated your words to preventing.

Back when Novak was first diagnosed, he became friendly with Ted Kennedy and his wife and relied on their advice when deciding whether to have part of the tumor removed:

The Prince of Darkness meets his match, eh?

Well, if we all gotta go sometime, this wasn't soon enough.

Not celebrating, just not mourning.

Hehehehehe Oh this article put a huge smile on my face.

Not celebrating, just not mourning.

I have trouble not mourning the guy because he was a part of our political journalism for so long. I thought he was a rat bastard a lot of the time, and I think he practiced a damaging form of his craft, but it's hard not to respect the longevity of his influence on Washington.

RIP

Wow.. You guys cant even let a fellow human being pass away from what was probably a drawn out, torturous way to die without expressing your hatred.

Go ahead and pop a blood vessel and bring up Bush or some other stupid distraction, but, wishing somebody harm or celebrating in their painfull death is hatred plain and simple

We're coming

I liked the guy. He was a tough conservative. There aren't many of them anymore. Sure, he was a bastard. But, he always stood his ground.

Nice posts caring, thoughtful libs. The left just couldn't get over Novak admitting that he "outed" Valerie the CIA wanna be spy Plame so they couldn't hang Cheney by his balls. Losers

I don't know what all this "we're coming" stuff is Cannabisneocon, but you'll be going if you keep putting it on every comment here.

I respect his dedication and admire his skill as a writer and his ability to effect and influence change, but his loyalty to all that is evil in the world today and his embracing of those tactics makes his style of reporting more harmful than good.

There is nothing wrong with feeling good an enemy has passed. People celebrated the deaths of Arafat and Saddam Hussein.

All the right-wingers who are offended by the response to Robert Novak's death should remember their position when Ted Kennedy dies.

Obama's fault. He should have pushed National Healthcare sooner.

A dead traitor. Boo-fucking hoo. They'll be mourning him in waziristan, though.

but it's hard not to respect the longevity of his influence on Washington.

One time a guy was beating me in the head with an iron pipe and he just kept on beating me.

It really hurt but I have to admire his stamina and longevity.

Yes, I see what you mean.

ROGERS, COULD YOU MAKE THE HEADLINE EVEN BIGGER?

I had asked him what that meant but no answer.

It's kinda creepy he keeps saying that.

My condolences to his family.

If you think this is nasty, Tax, Fish, Weedy neocon, we will all be watching your comments when Sen. Kenedy slips into that good night.

RCADE, I couldn't count how many of those on the right have brought up what an enjoyable and compassionate person Ted Kennedy is.

"Prince of darkness?" Really? Libs posting this kind of shit are just a bunch of evil fucking hacks.

Just remember the HST thread

RIP, Douchebag of Liberty.

Kennedy is a politician, Novak was a writer, the HST comparison is more valid.

I suppose I will just let him pass peacefully when the time comes.

Hopefully sooner rather than later, (to borrow from Corky's SAGE post above.).

However, he is a murderer.

If those are the DR rules, fuck Novack. I'm glad he's ticked his last tick. (But at least he won't be remembered as a murderer)

When Teddy dies I won't slam him......knowing that Mary Jo Kopechne will be waiting with a baseball bat.

(But at least he won't be remembered as a murderer)

No, just a traitor.

Shoot, and I was feeling soooo good after Walter Cronkwad got his final "shut up fool" papers!

Oh well! All the best to you Bob!

WISGOD, good point. I agree, fuck Novak.

We already know what the wingnuts will do when Ted Kennedy dies, dance on his grave. But there is hardly a comparison between these two men and what they accomplished for their country.

I'm listening to celebration by Kool & the Gang right now.

Corky is right, look what Kennedy did, he showed us how the justice system could be manipulated by wealth and power...O.J. learned from him.

Well played.

He was an iconic figure in the field of political journalism for so long that Spud can't remember him ever not being there.

And now he's gone.

For his role in the Plame outing alone he will always deserves a degree of public antipathy but Spud has really come here neither to praise nor decry Robert Nowak just to bury him.

RIP Robert Novak.

Be Well.

Nice spud, I take back all my posts saying nasty things about you.

Rat in a drain ditch, caught on a limb, you know better but I know him.

Like a steam locomotive, rollin' down the track
He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.

Kennedy is the, "Lion of the Senate".... you can see some of his vast accomplishments here.

But not you Kanrei, you're still a fucking douche-bag.

Evans & Novak was a hot column during the Nixon years. Tricky Dicky hated them and Evans made his enemies list. I used to read them all the time.

Considering his pallor in recent years I was waiting for someone to quip, How do they know he's dead?

Guess I just did.

Tha it one less old asshole we have to spend health care dollars on.

Obama

Hey Cannabis Neocon,

Making tonight's TDS must-see TV fer Spud.

/Not that it isn't usually but tonight even more so.

Be Well.

Novak "died" career-wise after Jon stewart ripped him and Tucker Carlson to shreds on Cross-fire. Cross-fart went off the air quicker than Reagan deserting Beirut after that.

"fuck Novack"
careful you might get kicked out of the cemetery.

-How do they know he's dead?

Good one, Oz.

Novak was an apologist, supporter, defender, and enabler of the Dogs of War.

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

- Bobby D.

Another relevant Dead lyric-

There may come a day I will dance on your grave
If unable to dance, I'll crawl

Ted Kenedy shall be remembered for 2 things:

1. He OPPOSED nuclear build up and "star wars" during the height of the Cold War.

2. He, with forethought and malice, planned and watched as a young lady died screaming in the back of his submerging car which he willfully crashed into chapaquiddick.

any other garbage on his resume is nothing but fluff.

He is in a class lower than that of OJ Simpson

that would of course be Masters of War, before you get all anal retentive

2. He, with forethought and malice, planned and watched as a young lady died screaming in the back of his submerging car which he willfully crashed into chapaquiddick.

8Doper was a hood ornament on the car, that's how he knows all this.

I didnt know that my moniker had declared my views on any particular subject. All I really did was point out how sad and pathetic it is for one human to either wish ill on another or celebrate the fact that they wasted away from brain cancer..

This is disgusting. The people who are celebrating this guy's death make me sick. Have some respect.

and yes, I hated him when he was alive too. But come on...

Yes,

I am one.

That is hilarious -

good show, cork.

Corky's right. Ted was so kicked in the ass, he watched 3 cars.

I'm not celebrating the man's death. I just think Oz is correct.

Mr Novak,
I know you are in heaven reading this. May the lord our savior personally welcome you to his kingdom. May he also shine down on you, and grant you the priviledge of smiting some mother fucking liberal cocksuckers with glorious bolts of lightning! May he let you rip the blackened souls from those non-believing creatures and kick beelzebub himself in the cadenhead!
In this we pray in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Ultimate Decider,
Amen

If you honestly think he's a partisan shill who sought to prevent peace, how can you NOT be happy he's gone?

All politics is a retarded game and we started playing it the moment we signed up for this blog.

My honest feelings on him are my first post, that I think he was a partisan shill who sought to prevent peace, but that does not mean I wish death on him. THere are more colors to the rainbow than black and white.

You will be banned soon and I will celebrate.

Banned for what exactly?

His statement is no more threatening than your passive aggressive way of inviting people you disagree with out for a beer to "debate the issues".

By the way when are you coming to Houston?

"...but you were still a hero."

You haven't been that good in a while, you lunatic.

Oh please, you're glad he's gone. That doesn't mean you'll be dancing in the street, but you're definately not hating that he won't be able to spread his partisanship and peace prevention any longer. That small euphoric feeling you had when you read this news is called being "happy."

And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. There are plenty of people who if they died right now, I'd be smiling.

I think "we're coming" means that Cannabutt only types with one hand.

On topic- I respect ALL my enemies (until I crush them) and I considered Novak as an "enemy". But, we all are gonna go sometime so no since pissing on the dead. Robert Novak was a rat bastard as you say RC but he did work hard at his "craft". Unfortunately, he emitted a lot of negative energy and I think he did do a lot of damage to this country with his bullshit and I am glad that particular chapter is over now.

RIP Novak

That is you. Don't hold me to the same standards. If he retired, I would be overjoyed. I have no joy in his dying.

I believe that there are times when our country must take measures in order to protect us from those who would do us harm. Do we make mistakes? Of course! Do our mistakes negate the need to take action? Never!

The reality is I use "neocon" because I figured out lefties only apply it to conservatives that they begrudgingly admit might not be as "stupid" as your average conservative.

I do not smoke weed.. I vaporize it because I have chronic neck and back pain.

She's coming .. and She is not ammused

In fact, his dying means there will never be the "I was wrong" column I had always hoped he would write.

I do not smoke weed.. I vaporize it

ROFL! That is smoking.

There might be something to that, lol.

"I do not smoke weed.. I vaporize it because I have chronic neck and back pain."

You ever use a portable vape, like the iolite? Good times.

Actually, when I apply the term "Neocon" it always is to someone I think is more stupid than your average conservative.

Vaporizing is not smoking.. Smoke is a product of combustion, vapor is the product of evaporization

I'm just pointing out that there are very rabid writers on the left (HuffPo) and you pick on Novak because you disagree with his politics.

But, I think that's what you just said.

Fair enough...

Vaporizing is not smoking.. Smoke is a product of combustion, vapor is the product of evaporization

And when one says "smoking pot,"they refer to in-taking THC into their lungs to get high. You can split hairs all you want on the method you use, but you smoke pot. YOu are not only stupid, but a snob as well.

Actually CannabisChickenhawk, I find neocons to be especially lacking in basic reasoning ability, and, by extension, intelligence, so your use of the term had the opposite effect on a "leftie" like me. Of course, I do think most neocons are smart enough that, if there were a draft (a real one, not like the one during Vietnam, a war that many neocons opposed), they would never have supported W's foreign policy adventures.

And speaking of the lack of a draft, CannabisChickenhawk, that's precisely what enables chickenhawks like you to so cavalierly state "Do we make mistakes? Of course! Do our mistakes negate the need to take action? Never!" Those "mistakes" didn't cost you anything personally (at least not on the surface). Anyway, I hope you enjoy taking bong hits while others die, CannabisChickenhawk.

Novak was a journalist! There is no comparing him to Kennedy or Rehnquist.

There is when some take delight in his death for purely political reasons.

JOe,
The more proper comparison I said earlier would be to the HST threads and you found the same venom and mockery coming from the right that you see coming from the left here.

RCADE Huffpo is a good site. You should read it daily.

HuffPo takes too much traffic from other sites by copying large blocks of text from their news stories. It also runs a bunch of dumb gossip stuff and stories that exist only to get search traffic. It's not really a political site any more.

"You can try all you want to negate the sacrifices of our all volunteer force, but, giving your life in the service of your country is one of the highest forms of honor."

Did I ever deny that, CannabisChickenhawk? (Since I have no proof that you're a "disabled veteran", I'll continue to call you that. I find it hard to believe that that's the case. Anyone who's actually fought wouldn't take such a cavalier attitude to war as to make a statement like: "Do we make mistakes? Of course! Do our mistakes negate the need to take action? Never!" Real veterans understand that such "mistakes" are intolerable.)

"People also keep ignoring the fact that it was JFK who started aid to South Vietnam." Did I ever deny that, CannabisChickenhawk? And by the way, how is that fact relevant to this discussion?

I really enjoy trading ideas and jabs with people who I disagree with, but, telling me what I think or how I feel about something that you are pissed about is really beneath us both

You dont have soul ownership of feelings whether the person agrees or disagrees with you.. you can certainly try but it just looks pathetic

Be Well

don't read HuffPo? You've GOT to be kidding me.

I used to read it, but the site changed. As a web publisher I see a lot of the tricks they pull to get traffic, and I don't like it.

"HuffPo takes too much traffic from other sites by copying large blocks of text from their news stories."

As opposed to, uh...nevermind.

Hey, I was just over at HuffPo and it turns out some dude named Robert Novak has died.

There's also some fascinating celebrity gossip involving actual celebrities who do stuff, just like regular people, only with more money and photographers, and an article titled "Spiritual Sex: The Art Of The Multidimensional Orgasm."

I'm not even going to tell you what else you're missing, Rogers, but let's just say it's INCREDIBLE.

You brought up Vietnam, I didnt.

I just thought maybe you would like to acknowledge the fact that it was one of the lefty heroes, JFK's lil projects. You brought up the war and started telling me what I think about it

I admire JFK, sure he had lefty ideas and was flawed like any other, but, people knew that he would defend the country from the commies

This is fun but my 80K+ job is calling for my attention

I'm just a punk kid from Chicago who never went to college

God Bless America!

"telling me what I think or how I feel about something that you are pissed about is really beneath us both"

A rather contrived attempt at looking like you're taking a more dignified approach, CannabisChickenhawk. I didn't tell you how you think or feel. You told me that. This isn't Fox News, CannabisChickenhawk. Your previous statements are available above for all to see.

"I just thought maybe you would like to acknowledge the fact that it was one of the lefty heroes, JFK's lil projects."

Now who's telling who about how the other thinks and feels, CannabisChickenhawk? You have no idea how I feel about JFK or his foreign policies. And by the way, I don't consider myself to be a "leftie". You assumed that. I derived my assumption that you're a neocon from your moniker.

"defend the country from the commies"

All I know is that many of those who supported this war didn't seem to be too concerned about "commies" back in the day, CannabisChickenhawk. I guess they only like wars when they're not in danger of being drafted.

Nine mile skid on a ten mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside.
Cat on a tin roof, dogs in a pile,
Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!!!!

Now he's gone, now he's gone Lord he's gone, he's gone.

He's gone, gone, nothin's gonna bring him back...He's gone.

Its one thing to oppose someones ideas and view point but its an entirely different thing to wish them harm and rejoice at their death. Its this kind of love and compassion that drove me away from liberalism.

Here's a telling anecdote by a journalist who wrote a profile on Novak two years ago for The Guardian:

Columnist Robert Novak had a great sense of humour unlike most lib columnists. If you jabbed a pin in the the ass of most self righteous, self important, uptight libs you couldn't pull it out with a D-8 tractor.

I used to watch them all the time to. Seems they were know as "errors and no facts" though...

Who was/is HST?

Hunter S Thompson, a political writer on the left.

Coming from you, Kanrei, I wouldn't have expected such a glib description of HST as "a political writer on the left." He was hard to figure out politically. There was a lot of libertarian mixed in with the lefty, I think. He certainly hated Nixon, though.

Well thanks I never considered my self a member of the wealthy elite. I'm "working class" what ever that means. I don't play golf either. Membership was requirement to buy a house in the village, and you have to spend so much at the club each month. If you don't the assholes send you a bill for the minimum amount you are supposed to spend each month.

Come on I'll let you borrow a shirt. I think all the limousine liberals down there would get a kick out of you.

K, that was weird.

Who was/is HST?

A sharp tongue writer/journalist who savaged folks of all political stripe with his "gonzo" journalism, a blend of fiction, dead on political observations and more than a touch of madness.

Beyond Twain and Vonnegut he's one of Spud's foremost literary icons.

Thanx fer askin'.

Nice to see the discussion of RN has wandered, as it does, so far afield touching on vaporisers (The iolite does rawk, btw), Ted Kennedy, HST and other fine eclecticisms replete with Grateful Dead lyrics.

Ahhh, Spud does luff this place so.

No where else in blogworld does the train of thought jump the tracks with such wild abandon.

fuck him.. now waiting on the "limpbaugh" to have a heart attack and that would be awesome.

I have trouble not mourning the guy because he was a part of our political journalism for so long. I thought he was a rat bastard a lot of the time, and I think he practiced a damaging form of his craft, but it's hard not to respect the longevity of his influence on Washington.

Hey Rcade...

I didn't think much of his work, particularly the cheap shots he took and the way he curried favor with powerful Republicans

So when chris matthews dies you gonna say the same? Or is this always one side fits all

It's a lot easier to be a lib than a Christian. A lib only has a few commandments:

1. Thou must believe in global warming.

2. Killing unborn babies is righteous.

3. Give more and more to lazy fucks and someday they might go to work.

4. The govenment knows best.

Novak EARNED peoples contempt by his actions/words.

Christianity doesn't address retribution in an acceptable manner.
Eternal forgiveness of someone who wrongs or harms another is unacceptable. There comes a time when you hold others accountable.

Christianity is like a "get out of jail free" card for evil men because they know Christians will do nothing about anything.

At least the pain and suffering is over for Novak. Kennedy gets to continue feeling severe pains in his head until he kicks the bucket. Kind of ironic. Teddy is dying from splitting headaches from brain cancer and his brother died from just having his head spit open by a 6.5mm rifle round.

The non commies on this site are total amateurs at being total and complete assholes. the left has mastered that.

Here go the repubs paising the worst among them in death. Why the hell didn't Novak go to jail for contempt of court when he wouldn't give up his source regarding Valerie Plame? Then, why wasn't he tried for committing treason by outing her? This is just like when Nixon died and everyone was falling all over themselves to say what a great guy he was. The truth is both these guys were mean, vindictive egomaniacs. Republican revisionist history.

"I'm archiving all these posts, so when that douchebag Kennedy goes the same way I'll be able to make the same comments without being branded as hateful by the Libtards" RIGHTISRIGHT

Kind of sounds like Gore's philosophy: recklessly burn the hell out of hydrocarbons and leave a carbon footpring that could cover the state of Montana, but pretend it's OK because he planted a tree and called it a carbon credit.

Depends if you ask a democrat, a republican, or read the report.

What does FTFY mean?

Fixed that for you

All the right-wingers who are offended by the response to Robert Novak's death should remember their position when Ted Kennedy dies.

Not at all concerned about Novak but you can call me callous I don't care I'm gonna gleefully spurge on a double of Johnnie Walker Blue when Ted Kennedy finally gets his due.

Spurge?That's disgusting,LOL

If you think this is vitriolic, wait until {Bush | Cheney | Rumsfeld | Bremer | Ashcroft } die.
Whoo hoo! That will be a looooong torrent of anti-platitudes!

I am reluctant to include Bush as many view him as but a puppet. So, unless you believe in evil puppets (Chuckie?)...

I always thought the word was "splooge".

Regular spurging isn't so bad. It's the gleeful spurging that puts it over the top.

I'm sure Robert Novak takes great eternal delight in having offensively drilled the hypocritical nerve of so many Right Wing Hacks!!!

I'm not sure what it means. Ban lil ol me?

I've never said anything mean-spirited to anyone on this site. I enjoy the banter between right and left. It's quite the mental workout

Please dont make it so I cant post on here anymore!

I cant believe I typed that whole thing without laughing..

Truthfully, I enjoy your post. I may not always agree with them, but I do take time to read them.

I think the problem is the way you close your posts with "we're coming".

It can be construde as threatening.

Personally, I find it kinda creepy.

Maybe if you changed it, or at the very least explain what it means.

Thank you Lisa! I take that as a compliment that you would take the time to read me

The whole "We're coming" thing is kinda complicated. By that I mean I'm not sure if I could explain it very well..

For you, I will stop using it

:)

Thank you, Cannabis! I'm sure that would take care of the problem and enable you to keep posting here!!

Looking forward to reading more!
