Bob Novak As I Knew Hime
- The thing I remember about Bob Novak is how sweet he was, like the time he told me that letting women reporters like me into the National Press Club ruined it.
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

Not only did Bob Novak play a moronic and insecure jerkhole as a media personality, but apparently he was a moronic and insecure jerkhole in real life. Yayys!

His contributions to charities are legendary, and his interest in shepherding young conservative interns and cub reporters into journalism careers makes him a candidate for sainthood (at least during an Obama administration).
Running people over in your car does not generally count as a charitable contribution. I always thought sainthood was forever, now I find out it only lasts for one American president’s time in office. Seems like kind of a weird way for the catholic church to do business but I guess it’s their call.

Because if we didn’t sing it back, promptly, on key, in harmony, with NO sense of irony or eye-rolling, the “employee morale enhancement and motivation sessions” would commence, and well, say what you want about tatoos, they are a lot cheaper to remove than the kind of scars red-hot fireplace pokers can leave…

I’ll give Novak a pass on the running the pedestrian over bit, only because just a few days later his brain tumor was discovered. Brain tumors can cause blackouts and all sorts of erratic behavoir. It’s ironic that in his case, the brain tumor merely loosened his inhibitions against doing the kind of stuff he always wanted to do anyway – such as run poor people down in the streets like dogs. That’s the bit where I won’t give him a pass.

Since we’re all remembering our fond memories of Novak, I remember the first time I became aware of him, he was railing about some education bill or something that would, you know, contribute to the general knowledgability of our citizenry.
Novak’s insightful commentary began with a curmudgeonly “Well, the Educationists win again!”
Educationists? Really?

I remember the first time I laid eyes on that gorgeous hunk of manhood. It was at a Terps basketball game and Bob was there with Rowlie. I just had to catch his eye! So I sauntered up to him showing much more cleavage than usual and said “Mr. Novak, could I be so bold as to inquire if you might have an opening for an intern with whom you could share your worldly experiences? I am actually much older than I look. (I was actually a freshman at UM, so this must have been 1992.)” I must say I was shocked when he told Rowlie he had to run. We had a marvelous time. He took me to this little apartment he had in Chevy Chase. It was a week I will never forget! He was such an animal!

re: Sarlacc Sarlaccson
I’m going to be as generous as I possibly can an say that this line actually kinda worked with Palin. She was struck down out of the Govenor’s seat (sure it was self-inflicted, but Obi Wan intentionally lost his duel too) and is now one with the Twitter. And it’s a valid argument that she is more powerful(ly stupid) than before now that she no longer needs to maintain the dignity of public office.
But GET OFF MY PHONE!!!? I don’t understand how this works. If GET OFF MY PHONE!!! is struck down out of his teevees show – what happens then? He’s already the disembodied advisor floating in the ether.
Anyways, considering how much Erickson loves the Obi Wan analogy, I have decided (since I’m being so generous) to volunteer to strike him down.

You know the problem with proxies? They aren’t votes. And President Barack Hussein Obama got most of the votes. So now I’m just a sad little racist half-panda (no black in MY fur!) who has to brag about being able to google up a proxy list to make me feel like a man, because I’m terrified that a registered commentary system or worse, people using a killfile to just ignore me will show everyone how small my e-penis is. Poor, sad little half panda. Ahhhhh…. diddums
Plus Bob Novak is dead. Dead, dead, dead, which I only care about because it enrages me to think about, because he was an enemy of Liberalism, and I can’t stand the thought that Liberals might not be suffering a tiny amount less than they otherwise would have been today.

Don’t tell me, let me guess – if we strike him down he’ll become more powerful than we can possibly imagine. Problem with that is, Odious Waaah Kenokidoki is merely getting his just desserts for being a royal dickhead, not being sawed in half with a light-saber … & the whole PermaMartyr schtick from him is already older than dirt. It’s pretty much all he’s got – & the only people who like one-note symphonies are avant-garde hipster noise-core freaks. Losing his show may well be a good thing for him & his fanclub, too – because one look at that sweaty, bug-eyed face, & you just know he’s well down the road to pulling a Budd Dwyer & sucking back some 9mm mouthwash live on-air.

I just had a thought that properly belongs in the last thread, but everybody’s over here now, and I wouldn’t want to miss the chance to make Troofie’s head ass-plode.
Since it sounds like the White House is ready to put up a fight on healthcare now, and they’ve allowed the Republicans to show everybody that they won’t vote for anything, even if Obama let them write it in his blood…
Maybe they’ll get a bill with the public option through in reconciliation. But if they don’t, what’s to keep Obama from lowering the age for Medicare, and/or raising the income ceiling for Medicaid, by Executive Order?
Bush essentially ruled by Executive Order, and the Congress didn’t let out a peep about it. Of course, the Rethugs would scream like howler monkeys, but who cares?
Give everybody a taste of Medicare/Medicaid for whoever needs it, and there’s no way in Hell anybody could get elected in 2012 on the platform of taking it away!

“Front-loading” implies a rational, tactical plan. Or at least a plan. I don’t think the Repug/Conservative troops have any plan. Or leadership. The howl of the mob is directing things. And, if I were working in Barry’s political strategy operation, I think I would be looking very hard at how to ju-jitsu that unguided crazy to my advantage.
Mebbe that’s what you meant with the “nobody could of predicted” notation.

Oh wait he also played a high-school teacher in a fucking movie.
Yes, I’m aware he was a law professor. I’m not as impressed by a legal degree as many might wish me to be — when I asked my lawyer friend if he had taken lots of classes in logic and rhetoric to get his degree, he answered no none at all, all he’d done was study case histories.

The vanilla is white collar crime, class warfare, and “I got mine” hypocrisy, the chocolate is race-hate for anyone darker than (or more Sephardic looking than) Glenn Beck, and the strawberry is the “tree of liberty needs watered by yer blood, librul nazi” pure on violence hate.
Remember, they make the rules, becuz they’re real Murrkuns.
Like they tell their followers:
“L’Etat, c’est all-y’all, goldurnit. Ahyuck.”

Front-loading the Crazy
I dunno….I got a feeling they have a lot more Crazy left in the bunkers.
I think they’ve gone off prematurely, which is a common wingnut trait (bookmark this!). By Godwinning this early, any of their screechings in ’10 will be either off-the-charts Alex Jones/David Icke looniness or a big anticlimax. In the meantime, we have months to crack down on the Blue Dogs (I am watching Joe Sestak’s senatorial campaign with great interest), and to pressure the President to consider an executive order to decrease the eligibility age for Medicare. I think Barry’s appeal for bipartisanship has been valuable, in that he’s shown his opponents for the shitbags they are, and now has no reason not to give them a nice lead pipe to the melon.

The Repubs will scream, as well as whistle, yell, yodel, warble, bellow, holler and make fart noises no matter what the Democrats do–including nothing!!
A-yup. Or, as I said over the GOS earlier, President Obama could personally save Sarah Palin from a burning building and the only GOP response would be to accuse him of grabbing her ass on the way down the ladder.

Bush essentially ruled by Executive Order, and the Congress didn’t let out a peep about it. Of course, the Rethugs would scream like howler monkeys, but who cares?
But if Obama did it, it would be tyranny!

OK, using the Golden Rule as my guide, I’ll run him over with my car.
Here in NZ we only have white lines down the road, but we are a poor nation.

Its sad when any human being dies. So let me surprise even myself and say, if there is any afterlife then may he do as well as possible. And like I hope for all of us, face mercy and compassion as well as justice.

I cannot place them in a hierarchy. The Goddam Batman is the Win to the Lunch Lady’s Wang. I may have use a wrong consonant somewhere.

you’re like the eighteenth person to bring that to my attention.
Besides the fact that the guy from the Cure is running it, why does everybody figure I would appreciate a study WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO OBLITERATE ME?

Novak didn’t qualify as a human being. “Douchebag of Liberty Springs Permanent Leak” is about as compassionate as I get.

But Zombie, he isn’t the guy from The Cure; he’s got a whole extra question mark on his name! That’s like having a name spelled “H-E-N-3-R-Y,” only better.
I should know; I spell my name with punctuation all the time.

From Hilaire Belloc’s ‘Epitaph on the Politician Himself’ -
“Here, richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician’s corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintance sneered and slanged
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.”
