I don't like his politics, but I wish him well.

I don't like his politics and I send no greetings to his family because he has caused more harm than good, therefore, fuck him.

Al sharpton throws out a few threats and Imus loses his job, but the whole of America waits for this guy to retire due to health issues?
We really are a sad bunch in this country.

Too bad. The prognosis has to be pretty bleak for him to hang up his column.

When typing on this thread, please, just make shit up.
IT'S WHAT NOVAK WOULD HAVE WANTED!

I try to wish no one on the doomed list evil. I think I was even restrained when Jesse Helms went "home." But Novak is a disgrace to the trade. I'm not ready to wish him the best yet. herm

I think he got zapped by the CIA's brain fuzzifier satellite.
Teach him to out secret agents.

I didn't like his politics, but he writes with great attention to the craft of writing. Good luck, Robert.

NG3--
He was told that Joe Wilson's wife got him the job to go to Niger.
Novak looked her up in Who's Who. She is listed as Joe Wilson's wife.
No one told him she was an agent--just that she worked over there.
He apparently called over there as well to confirm and no one at the CIA said anything about her being a covert agent and not to use her name.
Your anger is misplaced.
Hope Mr. Novak all the best for him and his family.

A completely partisan, Neocon shill, masquersding as a "journalist."
I wish him the best and peace to his family.
I am not sorry to see him go.

Michele Malkin will be happy to pick up where he left off.

I know it would be PC to give a crap about Novak but I don't. I could pretend that I do but I still wouldn't so why pretend. I don't wish him any harm though even though he has caused harm to others.

I expect Karl Rove to be the next GOP brain tumor.
Lee Atwater, the guy who started all this political meanness, died of a brain tumor.
Sooner or later, you spread enough bullshit, and your brain gets as sick as your lies.

AU, Why doesn't Charles Manson have a brain tumor? Is it only for people who deal in politics? Can I see a link please, or are you just spreading bullshit? Careful, I'd hate for you to get a brain tumor.

Lee,
I"m talking about the real Lee Atwater.
Charles Manson is insane. Lee Atwater and Karl Rove were/are not (that we know of)

Agreed. Neocons suck, and are anti-American.

If you're going to use the word neocon, at least look it up first. You'll save yourself some embarrassment. I also recommend looking up what Novak has said about Israel and about the Iraq war. The guy isn't and has never been a "neocon," whatever else he may be. Five minutes on google in order not to look like a moron. Come on, it's not that hard.
And I bet those of you who are so upset when Novak printed (not leaked, that was Armitage and Rove) a CIA agent's name cheered when the NYT exposed terrorist surveillance programs. Way to have your cake and eat it too.

I wonder if the tumor had anything to do with him hitting that guy in the crosswalk and then taking off.
Does anyone know if he ever got cited for that?
