Robert Novak, 1931-2009
Journalist, columnist, and CIA-employee identifier Robert Novak has died at the age of 78. What a rich legacy he leaves behind! Back in 2007, Novak identified former Senator Thomas Eagleton of Missouri as the anonymous politician who gave Novak a quote about George McGovern being the candidate of "amnesty, abortion, and acid." Eagleton had never given Novak permission to name him as the source, which caused some hard feelings.
Eagleton died March 4, 2007, "relieving me of the need to conceal his identity," Novak writes. At the time he gave Novak the quote, Eagleton was 42 and in his fourth year as a senator.Not surprisingly, some of Eagleton's former aides are livid. They say Eagleton never authorized his name to be attached to a quote that makes him look duplicitous.
"Reprehensible," barked Woody Overton, who spent 10 years with Eagleton as his state director. Eagleton, Overton said, isn't around to defend himself.
Asked about the story at a recent breakfast with journalists, Novak acknowledged that attaching Eagleton's name to the quote was "a judgment on my part."
If there's any disagreement, Novak said, Eagleton could settle it with him in heaven "or wherever we end up."
I guess now they can!
Burn in hell, you duplicitous fuck.
And I hope Robert Novak goes to hell too.

I do not believe in hell (though Haiti has to be close). Which is too bad. But I can dayream about Novack, (or, someday, Delay, Clinton, etc.) lying there KNOWING it's coming in a few minutes… terrified that this is the end and, despite all their influence and importance in the word, they are dying alone and know it. All light about to go out. There is no more. The sense of importance they so enjoyed and abused when alive, snuffed without importance, just like an common animal. Their last moments of terror at this realization makes me feel a little bit better.
And so decreases by one the population of evil men that I would totally viciously rape if I could do so without getting caught.

another rancid dinosaur escaping before the walls finally closed in.
another half-generation, and all of those worthless war criminal fucks will be righteously dead.
the only thing we can hope for, in the case of the un-indicted leadership starting with W, Cheney, Rove etc is a long, lingering death by leprosy.
And I was worried this venal asshole would be benefiting from the "speak no ill of the dead" rule.
I think that rule was abolished with the advent of the internet
Really? Then I'm going to make fun of irony.
It's not like the guy struck a homeless man with his car and drove away or anything.
because that would be terrible.
Alright men: which of you will step forward to carry the torch for the suit vest?
