"After 25 years of serving as a CNN commentator and program host, our colleague Bob Novak's tenure on the network will come to a close (effective 12/31). Through the years, Bob has offered incisive analysis for much of CNN's programming, including Crossfire, The Capital Gang, Inside Politics, Evans and Novak, The Novak Zone, and Novak, Hunt and Shields. Bob has also been a valued contributor to CNN's political coverage. We appreciate his many contributions and wish him well in future endeavors," said Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S.

So long Douchebag of Liberty :hi:

Never ceases to crack me up... :D

2 remind nofacts of TDS special award. Sorry Jon & Co are on vacation - they could do wonders w/ this.

because he leaves with nothing at all.

A few years ago an evil, foul and cruel boss I worked for who was sued for everything under the sun died alone. She left this world with nothing for the anguish she created.

So will he.

Can they kick his ass out the door like a vagrant or is that too much to hope for?

So far Plamegate has racked up more journalists than members of the Bush crime family.

a long time ago.

I wonder who and how much he was paid for his propaganda?

excerpt:

For years, rumors have swirled of an underground opinion "pay-for-play" industry in Washington in which think-tank employees and pundits trade their ability to shape public perception for cash.

by David Brock of mediamatters.org, it's rather an open secret.

But it's nice to know I won't have his foul face regurgitating Republican Hatepoints into my home.

:evilgrin:

Please let him be consigned to handle valet chores for DimSon. Since Novakula just said DimSon knows who the leaker is...:evilgrin:

n/t

from CNN?

i WONDER if he is outing Bush because he is , or is did he first out Bush and then got forced out of CNN?

Maybe he's soured on the whole Bush gang.

Ever heard that old blues song, "Don't Start Me Talkin', I'll Tell Ever'thing I Know"?

soured on the whole Bush gang." The Spanish have a saying that says, "no duele hasta que te pisen el cayo" ... roughly translated, it means, "nothing hurts until they step on your very own last nerve"...somebody at the WH may have stepped on the great Prince of Mean.

How sad if their 10+ year marriage were on the rocks...

do you mean, as in a lovers' quarrell? or just propaganda buddies?

if the prince of mean knows that bush knows ... do you think bush was present when the prince of mean was told? i mean, could bush have been the one he is protecting and now he is outing him by saying only that bush knows?

if that is the case ..... he had better take care of his derrier, or he might be the next suicide with a shot to the back of the head we hear about.

And I mean, propaganda buddies.

To Pigface Karl, love and horniness and passion and devotion and that walking-on-air feeling are all a part of the process of doing his propaganda thing.

Yes, it's a new, previously undiscovered, sexuality!

And Karl has it!

Interesting point about Junior possibly having been right there when Colostomy Bag Novak was told... could be... Junior is said to play under Karl's desk sometimes, and he might've been crawling around under there that day, and have inadvertently heard something. Little pitchers have big ears.

who would've thought it of the ole prince of mean? there was a picture of him looking very mean posted here yesterday, i think he was in a basketball game. he looked like he was ready to beat up someone,but more than that, he looked like he was scorned. (if i find the picture, i'll post it here).
edited to add picture-


here is the picture. there is a certain roughness in his face, but a certain sadness in his eyes.
when i saw the picture i thought he might have been grieving about the fact that he was no longer sitting at CNN doing Crossfire, Capital Gang, etc., etc., etc., now ... it seems he may be grieving about some very personal hurt, and despite the fact that the man is a colostomy bag ... well, i can't help but feel very sorry for him.

by comparison.

Me? I don't feel a bit sorry for him!

...the coveted job of quality control at the local blood bank finally opened up.

Drink up Bob! Good riddance.

manipulative right wing journalists than it does with lying, corrupt white house traitors. Where, oh where is the liberal media? I guess they have been bought and sold by the repukes. Seems they corrupt everything they touch.

Translation: "He effed up, he damaged his credibility AND ours, he's gone. Good night and good luck."

:woohoo:
rocknation

:puke:

and being dashed to pieces in the process... Bob Novak leaves after trying to hide a lie.

Which one should be in the Edward R. Murrow hall of fame?

(I know it's a tough choice...)

Don't let the door hit you in the keister on the way out!

Why did it take CNN a quarter century to wise up to the obvious?

Robert Novak Leaving CNN for Fox News

Commentator Robert Novak, who hasn't been seen on CNN since swearing and storming off the set in August, will leave the network after 25 years and join Fox News Channel as a contributor next month.

Novak, 74, said Friday he probably would have left CNN anyway when his contract expired this month even if it hadn't been for the incident.

The suspension actually served to eliminate a delicate problem for CNN, which had received some criticism for keeping the political columnist on the air with his involvement in the CIA leak case.


LIAR

Na na na na!

Hey, hey, heyyyyyyy


GOODBYE!

hey, I can hope

Don't get too relaxed, old boy. This old country may just have a few other ideas for your declining years. You see, you're a traitor to your country, and we will NOT let you forget it. EVER.

Incisive enuf for ya, old boy?

Robert Novak leaving CNN for Fox News

What a great place for old Colostomy-Bag Novak!

added to that stable of faux liers.

:)

NEW YORK - Commentator Robert Novak, who hasn't been seen on CNN since swearing and storming off the set in August, will leave the network after 25 years and join Fox News Channel as a contributor next month.

...

He said he wanted to stay in TV, but do more limited work. Fox News Channel spokesman Brian Lewis confirmed his signing with that network.

Novak said the switch to Fox had nothing to do with finding a more comfortable home for his views.

"I don't think that's a factor," he said. "In 25 years I was never censored by CNN and I said some fairly outrageous things and some very conservative things. I don't want to give the impression that they were muzzling me and I had to go to a place that wouldn't muzzle me."

just like when Norm walked into Cheers.

I'll miss him

NOT

But that's a good thing. I don't watch CNN much, but I absolutely never watch POX. So there's now no chance at all that I will ever have to look at Novakula's ugly mug again.

FOX News to the rescue!

to leave CNN. I think he was canned, just like Judy Miller. Well, at least I won't have to see or hear him anymore.

:rofl: :spray:

He knows his credibility is gone with normal people, so all he has left is FOX. Kind of sad, at his age, to sink that low.

Open Mouth, Insert …?

The leak columnist Bob Novak revealed in his infamous Valerie Plame column may have been one of the last he can expect out of the Bush administration after curious comments he made recently to a John Locke Foundation luncheon in Raleigh, North Carolina. Throughout the entire investigation into who leaked Plame’s name we’ve endured a parade of journalists who’ve leapt from ring to ring to ring of this circus. After countless battles with the special prosecutor, testimony before grand juries, jailhouse drama, public purges and newsroom explosions, I thought this tale couldn’t get stranger. <snip>

... And of course, conspiratorial minds united. My favorite was this idea that White House guru Karl Rove got Novak to make his comments in an attempt to garner a public show of support since Rove remains under the gaze of the prosecutor.

...not ZEBRAS. Why is no one asking the fairly simple question???? If BUSH KNOWS, fer sure, who the leaker is...maybe the leaker is BUSH????????

When you go back to all the parsing statements and bullshit that have come out of the White House, it could well be that Novak got that info on background from CokeJaw himself! That doesn't mean that Bush didn't tell Rover, et. al., to spread it around as well...but maybe the Monkey let slip the name, too. Why couldn't an old hand and administration friend like Novak have TWO White House sources--Rove, and SOMEONE ELSE????? Good reporters get TWO, after all....

And who knows, after Novak left the CNN set, he KNEW he was done. But hey, he has bills to pay. He fires this shot across the bow about Bush knowing who the leaker is, and next thing ya know, he gets a "job" at Faux, like Monica was gonna get a job at Revlon...

Keep yer mouth shut, Bob, and we'll make sure you have enough to make the mortgage payment and go watch the Wizards play!

Quid pro quo????

:thumbsup:

maybe O'Reilly will let him borrow his loo-fah.

:puke:

and besides Faux seems a good place for traitors to gather.

How humiliating for Novakula!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

OK, then why not NPR or Pacifica?

Or maybe it's just that Fox News will accept all freeper throwaways.

n/t

not when you go to Faux News.

well you got shoved up your ass Novak I have no respect for you Novak you leaked Plames name so you could help your buddies. Where's your buddies now. The GOP have been snubbing you. It couldn't happen to a better person.

but hasn't No Facts been on suspesnion ever since his little episode a while back? :evilgrin: Nevertheless, so long Bob :bounce:
