Wilson: Novak 'going to hell for his lies'

Conservative columnist Robert Novak said he did not hear forceful objection from the husband of a then-undercover CIA agent before her name was printed in his infamous column that sparked a years-long legal battle over his sources.

“He was not terribly exercised about it,” Novak said, referring to Ambassador Joseph Wilson, whose wife Valerie Plame Wilson was outed in his July 2003 column. Novak's comments to the Society of Professional Journalists convention were reported Monday in The Hill.

Wilson refuted that charge in an interview with RAW STORY Monday.

"I hope he's going to confession, because if not he's surely going to Hell for his lies," Wilson said.

Wilson, who had just published a column undercutting the Bush administrations claims about Iraq's weapons capabilities, asked Novak before the column appeared not to portray him simply as a war critic, the Hill reported. And Novak told the crowd that Wilson stressed that his wife went by his last name, rather than her maiden name (Novak's column reported her name as Valerie Plame).

"The question of my wife's last name never came up," Wilson said.

Rather, he says he asked Novak to stop telling people around Washington that his wife worked for the CIA.

1. "NoFacts" shades the truth? Do tell. Lying name dropping SOB that's what he is.

Not to mention an arrogant prick. There, I feel much better.

[displacedtexan]

2. That's what happens when your cilice is too tight.

[yellowcanine]

4. "cilice"? what is that?

[MADem]

5. Read the DAVINCI Code. It is featured in that book.

The reference is to Catholic convert (from Judaism) Novak's association with Opus Dei.

[yellowcanine]

6. Oh the spiky self flagellation thing fastened around the thigh? Somehow I can't see "Nofacts"

wearing one. The Vette doesn't quite fit that image. I'd be more inclined to think his 'roids were kicking up on a regular basis. He looks as if he probably eats a low fiber diet and has to strain a lot.

[displacedtexan]

21. Novak is Opus Dei, and he limps. And...

He limped before he broke his hip.

[yellowcanine]

22. I am going with my hypothesis of severe constipation. Novak seems more the hedonistic type.

Not a hair shirt type at all imo.

[displacedtexan]

24. I love the constipation theory!

That's a keeper!

I just like the cilice theory because it scares the shit out of freepers.

[yellowcanine]

25. Constipation explains a lot of the grumpiness in the population. People need to get their fiber.

I blame the Communists for introducing Wonder bread and Twinkees into the American diet. Not to mention funnel cakes. And flouride in the water.

[displacedtexan]

26. Ah, the 20-year shelf life food group!

Explains a lot.

[yellowcanine]

28. I forgot Spam and Pringles.

[Kagemusha]

3. Good god. For the last time, it's not THE NAME that was the problem.

It was the working-for-the-CIA part, not THE NAME.

[gasperc]

7. Novak should stop snorting crack

it's really affecting his judgement

8. Novak should stop snorting crack

it's really affecting his judgement

9. KamaAina: Wouldn't strongly object to Novacula being waterboarded

A strong contender for "Today's. Worst. Person. In the world!"

[Orsino]

10. He didn't think Novak'd actually be corrupt enough to DO it.

Dirtbag for liberty.

[annabanana]

11. Novak..inhabiting the slime UNDER the slimy bottom

and still digging...

[dflprincess]

12. This landed Novak on the "Worst Person In the World" list tonight

Keith quoted Wilson saying "I hope he's going to confession, because if not he's surely going to Hell for his lies." Then KO added, "I think the bus has already left on that one."

[MadMaddie]

13. Novack had to get in the spotlight again....and he is using his

one trick lizard....same ole show...same ole hateful, egocentric bastard.

[DemoTex]

14. S.U.B.J.E.C.T.I.V.E.!!!!!! S.E.L.F.S.E.R.V.I.N.G.!!!!!!

But Novak wouldn't know that. Would he?

[triguy46]

15. Novak strongly resembles a dick.

[gatlingforme]

16. ha ha ha good one and you are right n/t

[yellowcanine]

23. I am reminded of the line in "A League of Their Own" where Tom Hanks told an umpire "you look

exactly like a penis". One of the funnnier movie lines of all time, imo.

17. Novak: The Douchebag of LIberty

:puke:

[Major Hogwash]

18. Novak, Robert D. - Traitor and liar extraordinaire. Sentenced to being ignored.

For spreading lies for over 30 years and being the ugliest guy ever to aappear on tv - the guilty party is hereby sentenced to be ignored.
Pay no attention to this man.
He is a complete and utter liar.

Novak, O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, Beck, and Barnes.
You can't believe anything that comes out of their mouths.

[Generator]

19. That's right

the only way scum like Novak understand things is with a pistol to the back of the head, THEN he would have kept quiet. Unfortunately we aren't the criminals-they are. (can you see the headlines-"Wilson threatened my life-his wife is a SPY for the CIA," well it wouldn't have worked ultimately either)

[defendandprotect]

20. Could we put Novak and Buchanan and a few others in a box marked "Worst People in the Woooorld" . .

and shoot them into space, PLEASE ----

[mainer]

27. Mr. Novak: "If you don't scream, it isn't rape"

That's what he's saying, isn't it? "If you don't fight back, then I didn't really screw you"?

[closeupready]

29. He's going to be tortured by his conscience for the rest of his life.

n/t

[xxqqqzme]

30. I don't think he has one of those.

[closeupready]

31. It's tempting to think of him as an evil android, lol, but

I believe most people do have one, and I think he does, based upon my own observations of his appearances on news shows over the last 25 years.

I only wish that he weren't so old so that he could look forward to even more sleepless nights. :evilgrin:
