Novak goes to war vs. Bush & Rove!!!! Today's article...
Edited on Mon Sep-29-03 01:55 PM by janekat
George W. in trouble
Robert Novak

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/robertnovak/rn20030929.shtml

Anxiety......can be traced to President Bush's two important speeches on Iraq delivered over 15 days. They were both duds. His Sept. 7 speech to the nation was regarded by Republican politicians as a stylistic and substantive failure. His Sept. 22 address to the United Nations was worse, breeding discontent among his own supporters.

Until now, George W. Bush always had risen to the occasion. But failure marks current efforts of the president and his vaunted political team, headed by Karl Rove. This judgment was made to me by a well-known Republican operative experienced in two presidential campaigns: "For the first time, there doesn't seem to be a plan."

....In fact, Bush was not begging at the U.N., but this mistaken impression reflects a breakdown in the White House propaganda machine.

.....No wonder the arrogance quotient at the White House is diminishing. Reporters regularly on that beat say they have been getting their telephone calls returned the last two weeks

8. When Novak gets po'd there's no stopping him
He's gotten fired from quite a few jobs. He's a big rabble-rouser.

14. ...what a creepy ad for Laura Ingraham's book on the bottom of the page!!!

From Laura Ingraham, one of our talk radio favorites!
Shut Up and Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN are Subverting America
Meet the elites. They think patriotism is stupid. They think churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise families with more than two children. They think owning a gun is criminal. They think George Bush is an idiot. They even think it's wrong for us to do what we have to do to protect our nation and our loved ones. Worst of all, they think our abiding belief in the goodness of America and its founding principles is naïve and misguided. But in this refreshing look at the elites, Laura Ingraham reveals that it is they, not us, who are the stupid ones -- and that loudmouth liberals like Barbra Streisand would do better to just "shut up and sing."

so true, she looks like a hunched over linebacker

21. I think that Laura Ingraham is stupid.
The stupid blurb for her stupid book proves it.

5. That is a HOOT!
That he actually mentioned Karl Rove by name, unnecessarily, is even funnier.

Somebody's grumpy...

11. Now that he might go to jail, Novak is trying to distance
himself from Chimp and co. He has his gall, though, to write that chimpy has always risen to the occasion. As we all can see for ourselves, particularly the Bushisms, the man has ever created a meaningful sentence in his life. And the ones that were meaningful were immoral.

16. Novak is fighting for his life. He won't take the fall
I'll bet they are trying to stick this whole "CIA leak" on him. He could be put in prison for this folks.

18. I agree , he shouldnt be schmoozing with Rovians
and then claiming he doesnt like the neocons..He slips around in a grey area on Crossfire, backing up Bush policies after the fact..Hes a whore and he knows the heat is on...He doesnt want to fall on the sword for Bushit.

19. Regret
All those state GOPpers who cancelled their party's primaries must be feeling major regret now. They can't opt to choose someone else. They are stuck with the stink of Bush.

20. "Bush has always risen to the occasion"?
What hallucinogenics is Novakula on that he can write that? Bush hasn't risen to the level of whale shit in the Marianas Trench; events have come down to him: Worst attack ever on U.S. soil, and so forth.
