Robert Novak, Goodbye to You

[Eric J in MN]

I'm glad "Crossfire" was cancelled a few months ago. I'm glad "Capital Gang" did its last episode this weekend.

Less of Robert Novak on tv.

Here is an excerpt from an article I did about Novak in May:

Robert Novak, Columnist and TV Pundit


Conservatve Robert Novak also recently used a Nazi reference which trivializes the Holocaust.

Robert Novak compared Senate Democrats to Nazis.

This occurred during a discussion of the filibuster.

On the CNN "Capital Gang" aired on May 14, 2005, Robert Novak
said that compromising on the filibuster and letting Senate Democrats allow some of the filibustered judges to get confirmed (but not others) was like letting Nazis decide whom to send to a "death chamber."

AL HUNT: Bob, why would Senator Frist refuse an offer to break the deadlock?


ROBERT NOVAK: Because the whole system (inaudible) you're not going to have -- like going to a concentration camp and picking out which people go to the death chamber. You're not going to let the Democrats do that, say, We're going to -- we're going to confirm this person, we're not going to confirm the other person.

Video of Robert Novak trivializing the Holocaust is at:
Crooks and Liars.

There is a big difference between a contemporary California state judge remaining there and not getting promoted to the federal bench, and a prisoner at a World War II-era Nazi camp in Poland being sent to his or her death.

[DemInDistress]

2. regarding bob novak

fuck that scumbag,a traitor,a bush ass kisser,a henceman for the buskevik family and all around piece of shit...

he makes me..:puke: :puke:

[FreeStateDemocrat]

21. You’re being kind he is far worse a chicken shit bastard than you describe

[bullimiami]

3. hes a long time deviant slimeball.

where he should be is in jail over the plame thing.

[opihimoimoi]

8. For personal gain, he comp'd one of our Spies...puting her at risk

the death kine....

and others too...

He is not only despicable, he is not in our Nations Best Interest...

That makes Novak part of the Problem in achieving Peace and a better life for ALL of us....He got his its: "Fuck all you poor bastards"

Time....

He should be made to clean pig stys on a daily basis for 7.8 years.

[Placebo]

4. I'm gonna miss 'Capital Gang'...

It was a good show.

[Eric J in MN]

10. How was it good? nt

nt

[Placebo]

11. Al Hunt & Mark Shields were good.

Margaret Carlson could also be good. I liked watching it.

[DeaconBlues]

16. I'm with you

It was the only show on cable where the liberal/moderates typically outnumbered the conservatives. It was also one of the last shows to focus on real news instead of the latest shark attack or Micheal Jackson. The fact that they didn't spend the whole show shouting each other down was also a plus.

For all the people who are cheering this show's cancellation - just wait to see what they replace it with.

[Placebo]

23. Exactly.

I'm scared to even think about what will replace it.

Oy. A new version of 'People in the News'?

'Michael Jackson Hour'

:scared:

5. Say hello to the guy you'll be handcuffed to in hell, Robert

[PretzelWarrior]

6. Crossfire was cancelled? last I heard Jon Stewart was

eviscerating them on their own show....maybe he was the big leaden foot that stomped the life out of them. LOL. Or they were tired of getting TROUNCED in the cable ratings by Spongebob Squarepants and Fairly Odd Parents.

[Eric J in MN]

12. Whatever did it, 2 Robert Novak shows have recently been

cancelled.

[AutumnMist]

7. I Agree

<excerpt>The word "Nazi" is serious.
It shouldn't be tossed around lightly. <end snip>

The amazing thing is I hear it all the time from both sides. I wish people would think about the history of Nazi's and what extensive pain and death they caused in the Jewish community before they throw the term around like it was just a simple shock phrase or term/word. Its not.

:mad:

[Inland]

9. The sun rises, and he turns to dust. Goodbye, Novak, you douchebag. nt

[Totally Committed]

13. I could not agree more...

Robert Novak is human Crisco. I abhor everything he stands for.

Adios, a-hole!

14. Plame incident

unbelievable that Novak got away with the Valerie Plame incident...does anyone know of a connection between Novak and John Bolton?

[Vickers]

15. "Bob Novak, noted anti-American traitor and recovering seat sniffer"

:eyes:

[Bluesplayer]

19. I heard

that he fell off the wagon - after sniffing the seats...

[kskiska]

17. But CNN gave him a NEW show as a consolation prize –

on Saturday afternoon, when no one's watching. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[DeaconBlues]

18. Do Mark Shields and Al Hunt also get a show?

I doubt it. This is why losing the Capital Gang is a negative. We still have Novak on the air - he's just not being held in check by three moderates anymore. The cancellation of the show is just another example of the elimination of progressives from television news.

[kskiska]

22. Margaret Carlson was asked

why the Plame affair wasn't discussed on The Capitol Gang. She said because it's Bob's show and he chooses the subject matter.

[Old_Fart]

20. How the hell does that bastard stay on the air?

:grr:

[elperromagico]

24. Mr. Novak will now focus exclusively on outing CIA agents.

Oh and drinking. He'll focus on drinking too.

[OneTwentyoNine]

25. Bet that old bastard shows up on FOX.....

They'd love his style. Come down on Dems every chance you get even if you have to out a CIA agent.Bet his ugly mug is on FOX within days or a weeks.

[snowbear]

26. Speaking of CNN... whatever became of Bill Hemmer anyway?

I know this is off topic from Bob NOFACTS.. but since we're on CNN, I must've been out of town when Bill Hemmer flew the coop.

Is he gone for good?
