Wasn't Bob Novak supposed to be on his death bed

from a brain tumor, coincidentally right after he ran into a pedestrian?

So why do I keep seeing articles from him? Has anyone heard if he made a miraculous recovery? :shrug:


Novak: Gingrich Will Be The Conservative Movement’s ‘Moses’»


Conservatives are reeling after Tuesday’s progressive victories, desperately insisting that the country remains center-right, holding secret soul-searching meetings, and floating the idea of a revived “Project for a New American Century” to help neocons in the wilderness.

In short, conservatives are holding out for a hero. In his newest column, Robert Novak says that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is shaping up to be the best hope:

Yet the day after election day, there he was claiming Obama did not have a mandate.



I've heard nothing lately regarding his health, nor the horrible accident he had. :shrug:

I wouldn't wish a brain tumor on my worst enemy, and the conservative columnist Robert Novak, whom I've never met, is certainly no enemy of mine, even though I disagree with most of what he writes. But, having said that, I must point out that his latest column, written while he's recuperating from brain cancer surgery, shows that while Novak can be exceedingly gracious to people who helped him through his ordeal, especially those on the other side of the political divide, he can still be spiteful and deceptive when it comes to those he doesn't like.

As ill as he is, the 77-year-old Novak still has it in for Valerie Plame, whose career as a covert CIA officer he destroyed by publishing her name and employer, and Plame's husband, Joe Wilson. Wilson charged that a Novak column in July 2003 was part of a White House attempt to retaliate against him for disputing Bush's claim--later retracted-- that Iraq had sought uranium from the African country of Niger, one reason the president gave for invading Iraq.

Novak remains an evil SOB.

just curious

McBush and Failin. FAIL!

Gingrich is their best hope?

I feel sorry for them. I really do.

There are some conservative principles with which I agree. It's too bad
that these psychopathic neocon shills have hijacked the Republican party and
have commandeered the "conservative" moniker.

I mean really. How in the world can anyone believe that Bush was a
conservative? He spent trillions and expanded the government to
unprecedented levels. He illegally wiretapped us and invaded
our privacy. He ignored the Constitution and the basic framework
that our Founding Fathers laid down. Just exactly what is the
man trying to conserve?

Newt Gingrich's "Contract With America" sunk the Republicans. Their
1994 Congressional takeover was squandered because Republicans, led
by Gingrich insisted that they had a "mandate" and they tried to steamroll
some really bad plans through Congress, while acting like bullies. They
failed.

Gingrich also left his dying wife--for a much younger woman. What is it
with these Republicans and their "family values."

I want to work with conservatives. They do have some decent ideas. However,
Gingrich and the rest of them are so damn awful. They're like a disease.

Sorry to rant...but I think Novak is full of it.

Here, let Mr. Novak explain it all for you:

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/11/05/novak-mandate/

See, when Bush won in 2004 by an alleged 3.5 million votes, he had a ringing mandate. But in 2008, when Obama won by twice that margin, it isn't a mandate. In fact, it's just squeaking by. Hardly even worthy of deciding that Obama was legitimately elected. See?

It all makes sense if you're Bob Novak! Really. And he gets paid a lot of money for his opinion. Do you get paid a lot of money for your opinion? Do you get to go on teevee? Can you run down a pedestrian and speed away from the scene of the accident? Of course not! So you don't have nearly the clout, the insight, the (dare I say it?) perspicacity (I dare!) that Bob Novak has. So just shut up, you proles.
