LOL! Novak: ‘I Don’t Support This Administration,’ Bush Has ‘Cut Me Off’
Novak: ‘I Don’t Support This Administration,’ Bush Has ‘Cut Me Off’
In a radio interview with Diane Rehm this morning, right-wing columnist Robert Novak tried to assert his conservative credentials by distancing himself from the Bush White House. “I don’t support this administration,” he said.

“The president’s cut me off the list of conservative columnists that are invited there.” He added, “They consider me a lot of trouble.”


Transcript:

CALLER: I take it from his previous comments that he would consider himself a conservative and fall on the side of government is more of the problem. And I guess it’s hard to reconcile that with support of a conservative administration that has expanded governmental powers in probably the three most important areas — the defense of the country, waging war, and administering justice — it seems to be remarkably incompetent.

NOVAK: Well, you know, I hear these things and I’m just amazed. Because I don’t support this administration. The president’s cut me off the list of conservative columnists that are invited there. They consider me a lot of trouble. Every administration has considered me a lot of trouble. We start good — and particularly with Republican administrations. But it’s like a bad marriage — It starts nice after the honeymoon and it just gets worse.

1. If Bob Novak is what passes for "a lot of trouble", we're screwn.

7. Use a traitor then discredit him. Standard practice
among despots.

Treason rarely pays the way you want it to, eh?

8. Who do you root for when Bob Novak is fighting with the Bush White House?
Kind of like Iraq vs. Iran in the 1980's?

I don't know.

10. By accident, I caught a few minutes of him this weekend ...
and he was calling Alaska a huge "welfare state" ... because the oil companies couldn't drill in ANWR ... and all the people have their hands out ... funny, that check from the oil companies doesn't go as far as it used to?
