[matcom]

[mopaul]

1. yeah i caught that. thank GOD!

thank god it's novak's insane pals and godly maniacs

[Burma Jones]

2. Well, Bob, if we had scientists running the country......

You would probably be a Lab Animal.....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Why isn't Novakula in jail yet?

[Grillydad]

8. BushCo. needs him out to spread idiot propaganda n/t

[erinlough]

13. In the same interview he said that GITMO sounded so good

he might like to take his next vacation there!!! My sister and I both seconded that motion at the same time. I think it was his pathetic attempt at joking. What an ass.

[yankeedem]

20. I hope he's serious

because Gitmo is a good place for someone who compromised an undercover operative.

Novak has undermined the US much more than most of those poor bastards at Gitmo.

[Coexist]

15. in jail? I'm still waiting for someone to actually BLAME him...

others are on trial, he is walking around like he had nothing to do with it.

Unbelievable.

[underpants]

4. Do scientist generally do a lot of governing?

or do they mostly do that science type thing?

[matcom]

7. ACTIVIST SCIENTISTS!!

:scared:

[FreedomAngel82]

28. Well here in Tennessee

our governor has a degree from Harvard in physics. Does that count? :shrug:

[CrispyQ]

5. Yes, the zealots are doing such a fine job!

...of fucking things up, that is.

I can't believe that windbag has a high paying job with lots of exposure to millions of Americans a day. :puke:

[Fridays Child]

6. Yes, Bob, because they are nothing more than slimy...

...members of the reality-based community.

[walldude]

10. Lol this reminds me of a fundie at work

who when I told him that Bush and Cheney's energy policy was being written by their buddies at Enron and other energy companies replied "Well wouldn't they know best?"

[Atman]

9. Well hell, we don't have journalists running the news, Bob!

So I guess you have a point.

And while we're at it, let's get those damned Ship Captains off of ships. And school teachers out of schools. Perhaps the BEST we could do would be to take the preachers out of church. Scum the likes of Novak are already doing plenty of preaching as it is, and seem to think they're infallible, just like God!

[malaise]

11. Couldn't believe that

elected officials now know more than those trained in specific disciplines. Earth you are in deep trouble.

[SideshowScott]

12. Translation: thank god we dont have intellectuals running our country..

The right wing only profits when people are ill-informed.. The more the days go by the more the right wing are looking like Stalinist

[BlueEyedSon]

14. Why isn't that traitor in jail?

[Dudley_DUright]

16. Yeah Bob

Thank God we just ignore our scientists and edit out their careful research on global warming in government environmental reports. :eyes:

17. And you had NO PART in that, did you Novakula?

Commentary by Robert Novak, Bill Press
Crossfire, CNN, 5/19/99

NOVAK: says we ought to be able, quote, to establish a coordinated global program to achieve the strategic goal of completely eliminating the internal combustible engine--“internal” is a car--over say a twenty-five year period, unquote. That’s crazy, isn’t it?

(snip)

NOVAK: The point of the matter is that sooner or later you and the vice president’s friends are going to have to explain these wacko statements he’s made on the environment, or repudiate them.

GARDEN PARTY: A few weeks back, Josh Marshall referred to the “right-leaning dinner-party centrism” of establishment Washington (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 3/21/05). In this morning’s column, Robert Novak lets us visit one of those parties. He discusses the feelings now roiling Washington about the Schiavo affair:

NOVAK (3/24/05): In Washington, I was engaged during a Saturday night dinner party in debate at a level of intensity I had not seen since the bitter 1960s and '70s. My dining companions, mostly mainstream Washington journalists a generation younger than I, were passionately opposed to the congressional intervention .

Novak continues to stress the intensity of the journalists’ feelings:

NOVAK: The intensity was brought home to me at the Saturday dinner party. A fellow journalist asked me what I thought about the congressional intervention. When I responded that I approved, several colleagues asked how in the world I, of all people, could approve of federal intervention in local affairs. I told them I did not care about that issue but wondered why they were so anxious to end Terri Schiavo's life. They responded that Republicans in Congress were only interested in politics. I had not engaged in such a heated debate with colleagues since the Vietnam War.

18. Fuck reality; it's the enemy of conservatism

Let these realism guys run amok and we'll have to live within our means. We'll have to actually deal with stuff. Can't have that.

Let's leave the running of society to the Witch Doctors and the Asshole Landlords; fuck the inferiors, they just slow things down. Let's just deregulate everything; those who take are better and we'd all be best to accept it.

[mopaul]

22. mongo say kill smart gay scientist, mongo hate science, science bad

fuck making sense any more, that's so 21 century

[tallahasseedem]

19. Yeah, those pesky scientists actually know something.

Cant have that in crazy freep world.

[redqueen]

21. So first they were anti-intellectual...

clearly in an effort to dumb down the country so no one would be watching too closely when they started looting the treasury...

Now they're anti-science... why? Could it be so that fewer people will listen as more and more scientists start calling them out on their intentional trashing of the planet?

[mopaul]

23. fighting insurgent scientists over there so we don't have to here

or some stupid shit like that

[graywarrior]

24. Science is what's keeping Novak alive, what with the baby-blood

transfusions and all.

[Kraklen]

25. American dad-

The wife, upset that her alien "pet" has been killed, goes to the preacher. He tells her that hell is filled with pets, homosexuals, and "smart types."

[Cha]

26. NO, we have a bunch of maniacs on

crack running this country!!

[Old and In the Way]

27. Enabling the determined march back into the Dark Ages.

Bob "Torquemada" Novak.
