Novak also has a makeup problem same as nasty Harris

http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/wp-print.php?p=4897



Clearly, Bob Novak's temper-tantrum was one of the more bizarre spectacles we've seen on CNN in a while, but as my friend Phil noted this morning, it wasn't the only odd thing Novak said yesterday.

Host Ed Henry: Harris is blaming unnamed newspapers for tarnishing her image by doctoring her makeup with Photoshop. — that computer program. Bob Novak, have you been investigating this make-up story?

Novak: No, but I've had the same experience that she did. A lot of my trouble in the world is that they've doctored my make-up and colorized me in a lot of newspapers on my picture. So, I sympathize with her.

Henry: This is breaking news. I've haven't heard this.

James Carville: Breaking news. Who did it? What paper?

Novak: Well, I don't. I can't tell you.

There was no indication he was kidding. Novak wasn't smiling.

So, here we have a veteran political journalist, who's been in DC for decades, telling a national television audience that other journalists have conspired against him to manipulate photographs to make him look unattractive. Indeed, as far as Novak is concerned, this alleged history of photo manipulation accounts for "a lot of trouble in the world."

I've never cared for Novak, but even I hate to see a guy fall apart like this. Obscene outbursts, temper tantrum, paranoia, victim complex … let's hope Novak gets some help.

tsk, tsk

2. Screw Novakula... no sympathy here. Couldn't care less if he gets help!
Tell him to try Este Lauder... he can afford it!

3. I'm hoping his age and alcoholism aren't mitigating factors used
to appeal to the court's leniency and get him out of serving a long full sentence.

4. I have seen unflattering pictures of him
what he really needs is medical makeup, it does exist, he has some kind
of birthmark or scar on his head which is unflattering, medical makeup
will cover it up and stand up to the hot lights they work under, that's the problem, what he is really saying is that they don't retouch the
pictures to make him look great.

5. I think he was joking. And he did smile after saying that,
Edited on Sat Aug-06-05 11:35 AM by Eric J in MN
contrary to the implication of that description.

6. He was not laughing and in fact, never even broke a smile
Edited on Sat Aug-06-05 11:37 AM by AllyCat
There was no indication he was joking. I kept waiting for him to crack up laughing and he didn't, adding to the creepiness of the entire outburst.

On your edit: guess I need to watch it again. I don't remember him doing that.

8. He smiles afterwards.
If he were serious, he would have phrased the whole thing differently.

Saying it's the main cause of his trouble in the world is humor.

7. So he's admitting he wears makeup
off the air for newspaper photographs? Isn't that kind of unusual for a straight, white, super conservative male? Why didn't he share the brand? We want to know what not to buy.

9. Didn't one of the Mafia dons pull this shtick to try to get out of a jail
Edited on Sat Aug-06-05 11:43 AM by BrklynLiberal
sentence? All of a sudden he is mentally incompetent? Give me a break!
I don't buy one second of this bullcrap.

EDIT: If he is incompetent, then let him spend the rest of his life in an institution for the criminally insane.

10. Oh, you're too nice.
I for one am basking in the thought that No-Facts had a temper tantrum. The U.S. needs to see what kind of people these folks really are. They need to take a good, hard look at them and what they do.

Even if it's the issue of his makeup. No-Crap is a foul-looking man, no matter how much pancake you smear on him.

Can't cover up the lies, No-Yak.

13. Fifty years of the "Beef and Bourbon" diet
does wonders for the complexion.

The disposition, too.

Just ask Dick Cheney.

15. I agree, that explains his look.
Agree 100%. Contrast with vegan Dennis Kucinich who looks twenty years less than his age.
