Novak Slams Jon Stewart: ‘Self-Righteous Comedian Taking on Airs of Grandeur’

During an appearance on C-SPAN, columnist Robert Novak was asked about his television viewing habits. Novak said, “somebody mentioned the Jon Stewart program, I’ve never seen that in my life and I will go to my grave never having seen it.” Asked why, Novak said, “I don’t see any reason for it. It’s a comedian, self-righteous comedian taking on airs of grandeur and I really don’t need that.”

Novak also said “I have a lot of problems with Chris Matthews” and won’t watch his show.

1. It's embarrassing when comedians do more real journalism than journalists.

[madokie]

32. a comedian is free to say any outrageous thing and thats the main reason

comedy has always been used as a vehicle to get the truth out to the average joe, imo

[bluerum]

2. Pot, meet kettle. nt

[Deja Q]

3. At least Stewart is legitimately funny.

What's Novak's excuse for being a joke with a Depends problem? (wasn't he involved in the Plame leak?)

[goddess40]

4. wouldn't that be the pot calling the kettle black

if Jon were a kettle - which he isn't

[wryter2000]

5. LOL

I suspect we'll be seing something about Novak on TDS soon.

[Cha]

22. "Something"..Again!

I remember when Jon had novakula featured when he first outed Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA agent. Showed a clip of novakula walking down the street and revealing to us that he kept "puppy blood in his mini-fridge".

novak finally fires a shot back. And what was that about novak getting booted off cnn because he couldn't handle the truth?

[wryter2000]

27. Puppy blood!

I'd forgotten about that. :rofl:

Didn't he get booted after taking off his mike, saying something that had to be bleeped out, and storming off the set?

[Cha]

30. Did novak say "BULLSHIT"!

:wow:

[wryter2000]

45. Sounds about right n/t

n/t

[Cleita]

6. Look in the mirror much Bob? Change comedian to

unwitting comedian and those words describe you.

So I guess now it's acceptable to criticize those whose shows he has never seen? That makes everything he says important, doesn't it? :sarcasm.

[derby378]

7. A wee bit jealous, aren't we, Bobby?

If only you had spent more time focusing on the news instead of helping expose "beyond-top-secret" CIA agents...

[1932]

8. Yes. The joke news is more informative than "real" news.

Stewart reduces Novak's power to form public opinion. He should hate Stewart.

[GCP]

9. Monday's show should be good

:evilgrin:

[niallmac]

10. Has an opinion about something he never saw. Whata journalist. n/t

[Kingshakabobo]

29. Typical........

Now where IS that screen shot of the republican woman with her fingers in her ears?

[annabanana]

40. here you are

I luvs my Randi

[Kingshakabobo]

51. Thanks!

[lutefisk]

11. If he doesn't watch Stewart, he'll never know he's a douche bag

None of his "peers" will tell him.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

12. Jon is licking his chops at this.

[WhiteTara]

13. Bad move NoFacts Bad Move

I expect Jon Stewart will begin mopping the floor with the traitor on a daily basis in KO style but funnier. Oh, indeed, you slimy toad on two legs, bad move.

[lonestarnot]

14. Doesn't need that because he is that! All but the comedian and

I'm not laughing. Envious green bastard! :puke:

[salin]

15. Talk about a classic case of Projection.... nt

[Amonester]

16. So here's the irrefutable proof that a$$hat traitor is a despicable...

LIAR (like the rest of the bu$h culti$t$):

"I’ve never seen that in my life and I will go to my grave never having seen it.”

Nova_lue_ck doesn't see his own hypocrisy in the act of slaming someone he pretends never seeing!!

His prison-cell awaits...

[NoPasaran]

17. Brave words for a TRAITOR

Who'll turn to dust if he's ever exposed to direct sunlight.

[LunaSea]

18. Living up to his title

[Catherine Vincent]

50. Novak said he's never seen Jon's show but I'll bet he heard about

what Jon has called him. That is why he said what he said. LOL!

[KharmaTrain]

19. Bob's Visiting Prince Valium By 11pm

Like he needs to watch to know what's being said about him? I'm sure the morning after Stewart labeled him the "Douchebag of Liberty", Novakula sure as hell knew who Stewart is, what the Daily Show is and how many people watch it.

I laughed when he was asked if it was Stewart's appearance last year that led to Crossfire's downfall...a show Novakula was credited with being a "producer". He blamed management...the same people who put up with his bullshit for decades until he got to hot to keep around.

That's one bitter, mean old codger. He's living proof that "only the good die young".

Cheers...

[Cha]

20. And that's coming from

the bloodthirsty novakula who keeps puppy blood in his mini-fridge.

Keep it up(if you can), novakula, people will tune in to see for themselves just how "airs of grandeur" Jon is OR is he the REAL FUCKING DEAL?!~

[Mz Pip]

21. Novak admits to never seeing the show

then trashes it. Wow, there's informed journalism at its finest. :sarcasm:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[dkofos]

23. NOVAK IS STILL A DOUCHEBAG

[TahitiNut]

24. Stewart may be a comedian, but Novak is a joke.

:puke:

[mnhtnbb]

47. Ding Ding Ding! That's a winner

[Greeby]

25. go to your grave? You've already been to your grave Novak

It's when you climbed out of it that the trouble started :evilgrin:

[Kingshakabobo]

31. ROTFL..........you are killin me! nt

[npincus]

26. Vampires don't do comedy

and wouldn't know humor if it smacked them in the coffin.

[Lusted4]

28. Thats kind of like a turd saying a rose stinks. n/t

[ClintonTyree]

33. Note to Novak:

You're a fucking dinosaur, who CARES what you think? It's pathetic that this cantankerous, drooling, doddering, old shit stain thinks his point of view MATTERS to anyone! :puke: Just GO AWAY Novak, GO AWAY! Please, jUst shut the fuck up and GO AWAY! :mad:

[AspenRose]

34. Sounds like Novakula has a problem with TRUTH

eom

[Marr]

35. If he's never seen it, how does he know Stewart is a "self-righteous

comedian taking on airs of grandeur"?

[seabeyond]

36. never seen it, dont know what the fuck i am talking about, let me

tell you how you are suppose to think about stewart.... in all his self righteous manner.

how absurd

[Jade Fox]

37. Stewart also has talent conservatives would kill for....

It's interesting that Novak has an opinion on something he claims not to have seen.

As for airs of grandeur, does Novak own a mirror?:eyes: He reveals his sense of entitlement to be the one telling America what we should think.

[acmavm]

38. The pathetic, tired, discredited, treasonous old man is just jealous.

[DainBramaged]

39. Douchebag

[flyarm]

41. novak is guilty of treason..so what does anyone care what that

traitorous fucker have to say??

Jon Stewart did not "out " a CIA noc..Novak the traitor did..

so why isn't novak in prison..he is a criminal...
not once..but 2 times..with the second outting of Brewster Jennings...how many covert agents were murdered novak for your treason to this nation??

and that puke fucker thinks he has any moral/critical voice in this country??

fuck him..i want to see him frog marched..

stuff a dog poo in your mouth novak...you deserve nothing more!

fly

[ourbluenation]

42. I would love for Jon to look straight into the camera and give novakula

the smack-down without saying one funny thing. Call him out for all his bs.

[Rex]

43. Hey Novak, at least Jon hasn't betrayed his country!!!

I hope until the end of his days, Novak hears the word 'traitor' whispered on the wind in public wherever he goes. Novak is a fucking traitor and should end up being remembered as such. Won't watch, ya Bob you wouldn't want to watch something that calls you a fucking asshat. We understand.
You TRAITOR!!!!

TRAITOR, TRAITOR, TRAITOR!

[Missy Vixen]

44. Hey, Bobby, baby

Looked at your ratings lately? It seems that a lot more people are interested in watching a
>self-righteous comedian taking on airs of grandeur< than in watching you, huh?

Bitter, jealous, irrelevant. That describes Robert Novak in a nutshell.

Julie

p.s. Hope Jon Stewart invites him on "The Daily Show". Now THAT would be "must-see TV".

[Hippo_Tron]

46. Douche Bag of Liberty is seething from his lack of fresh puppy blood

[Jed Dilligan]

48. Mmmmmmmmmmm

I love it when they get all bothered. Oh to be John Stewart and hear that rant. Sheer bliss.

[EFerrari]

52. No kidding! You couldn't pay to get material like this rich.

:rofl:

[question everything]

49. OOOOH, can't wait for stewart to air this comment

I still remember him dancing when Novak walked of the set of CNN saying the "horrible" term: this is bullshit.

[donco6]

53. That's probably how he forms opinions on everything.

A) Don't watch the show.

B) Make pronouncements about the show.

Lather rinse repeat.

[Jawja]

54. Is that TRAITOR

still on the air??

[SoCalDem]

55. Ole Chiclet-Chomps is getting kinda feisty, isn;t he?

He assailed david Corn too..

He's a piece of work:(

[Lisa]

56. Novak knows far more about how to "take on airs of grandeur"

... than Jon Stewart does. How often have you heard Novak lampooning himself in order to make other people look good? Stewart routinely does this for the benefit of his co-workers and guests.
