http://inthesetimes.com/article/4781/robert_novak_was_a_liar/Washington’s punditocracy is in mourning over the death of right-wing columnist Robert Novak, with many warm remembrances about his out-sized personality and his supposed love of reporting. But Novak often served as a dishonest propagandist and would have been condemned in a healthy journalistic world.

13. He was a traitor, a liar and a mouthpiece for the most corrupt administration EVER! |
|
And I don't give a flying fuck how many DU Mother Superiors wag their collective fingers and tell me to "be nice." I don't believe in either heaven or hell, however, for certain folks I do like to dream.
Share my dream: Robert "Prince of Darkness" Novak roasting in Hell.:kick:Praise the FSM and pass the marshmallows.

3. He's dead, no need to convince anybody of anything regarding Novak. If he |
|
was a liar, he's lying no more. That's the important thing, IMO

7. Yeah, well I see your side of it, too, but I just don't think it accomplishes anything. |
|
But if it makes you feel better, then that's more than valid in my book. I'll shut up now. :hi:

9. And, I see your side, but simply disagree |
|
Please don't consider this as a hostile response---it's not. But, I DO think that it "accomplishes something" when we say, out loud or in print, that Mr. Novak, aka, "The Prince of Darkness", was a liar. Speaking the truth---to power or to a stranger at the bus stop---always accomplishes something and is especially worthwhile when it corrects a "popular" untruth or misconception.
Robert Novak was a liar. Sarah Palin IS a liar. George W. Bush was an incompetent, shallow, mean-spirited and small person---"Worst President Ever"! Ronald Reagan was an excellent bullshitter, but a mediocre (at best) president. Today's GOP would happily see thousands of uninsured people die if defeating healthcare meant regaining a majority in Congress and the Whitehouse in 2012.
See? It's actually sort of liberating once you get used to it.

10. Oh, I say shit like that out loud all the time and again, I see and agree with your |
|
view on this. I guess it just depends on my mood. :7 I usually don't comment/lecture/whatever on posts like this (and I definitely don't get involved since I've learned I can get TOO involved), but sometimes I'm just in a Rodney King let's all just get along mood, expansive, seeing the big picture, feeling enlightened, and feel compelled to spread my wisdom and love. Those moments are few and far between, thankfully, and I'm back to normal now. :hi;
PS and I must disagree with your view of Reagan -- I think he did severe damage to our country and our citizens. Totally agree with all the others, though.

11. Thanks for the response. I've just re-read my post and I don't disagree with your assessment of |
|
Reagan. I guess I was in "Rodney King"-style gererous mood when I wrote that.

No he's a dead worthless lying sack of shit.
Nothing else has changed.
When is "Washington's punditocracy" going to learn that the rest of the country just flat doesn't give a shit what they think?
