Robert Novak, Garden Troll

I just finished reading the David Margolick profile of Robert Novak in this month's Vanity Fair, and want to share some of the sweeter quotes. (snip)

Bill Moyers, explaining Novak's subsequent transformation: "Every monster begins as a baby in a crib."

Jack Germond: What Novak considers a "secret meeting" in writing his column, is often times regarded by others, most notably the participants themselves, as "a meeting nobody gives a shit about."

An anonymous source, who witnessed Novak attempt to punch out a heckler on the set of his CNN show at the Merrimack Diner in Manchester, New Hampshire, during last year's presidential primary: "Novak looked like a caged animal, fists locked and cocked back, like a garden troll gone insane."


Michael Kinsley: "Underneath the asshole is a nice guy, but underneath the nice guy is another asshole."
