Why I feel a little sorry for Novak....
Like him or not, this man has been a well-read, well-liked conservative commentator with an excellent reputation for decades.
I can see the fear in his eyes on Crossfire.....
He knows that he is dooooooomed if W doesn't win in November...
He has cast his lot with these vermon thinking that it was the right thing to do. He even committed treason to help their plight.... if he did this consciously or not I do not know. I DO know that other journalists were given plames name and thought the wiser of outting her.
i think he knows that his career and reputation are done for once this administration is gone. To have dedicated your life to something and have it set you up for a fall must be crushing blow.

1. Yeah and Goebbels was a sympathetic character too
The man is a propagandist of the worst kind.....one who takes a position of presumed credibility and uses it to forward an agenda that is a lie.

24. LOL
Yes, and he seems like he could be just as mean as Goebbels and capable of the the same atrocities if he got a chance. He probably goes to his opus dei priest for confession and forgiveness. Maybe he even wears a hair shirt for penance while penning a bunch of new propaganda lies for the Fourth Reich. Of course after the fourth Martini, the pangs of conscience dull and the shirt doesn't itch as much. :evilgrin:

2. Are you serious?
As long as I have watched him (15 years or so) he has been one of the most obnoxious idiots on TV. He paved the way for Hannity. I have no pity for him, rather I'd speed him towards his final fate.

9. I know, I know.....
It's just a little sad to see an old man's reputation spiral to the ground with one wing ablaze.

Don't forget.... i am a bleeding heart liberal

5. He's a pathetic old fool.
But he does not deserve pity. He knew exactly what
he was doing, but he did it anyway. He got caught
up in the imperial arrogance of the Bushes -- maybe
he didn't realize how quickly they would cut him loose
if he became inconvenient.

(Seeing him spit all over himself when he talks is
just disgusting.)

8. He's doomed if W doesn't win?
No. He's doomed when the indictments are unsealed, sometime in the next month, I believe.

He'll be wearing an orange jumpsuit, or he'll be flipped to testify against the Bushies, regardless of who wins the election.

11. Do you really think that anyone in the administration...
will ever experience any "problems" over the plame thing?
I mean sure W hired a lawyer, but I don't think this will EVER amount to anything

10. sorry is not the word
I would use. He had a choice like the other reporters who had this information. He chose to reveal. Why he did this only he knows but the consequences for this action will be forthcoming and probably career ending if there is any real ethics left in the profession. The bed is made and he will probably and eventually sleep in it. Sorry is not my feeling here. Anger at his obvious choice is more like my feelings about Mr. Novak.

13. If the shoe were on the other foot
he would enjoy your plight and add to your misery, if he could.

He is a toad, a traitor, and a perfect icon of RW unAmericanism.

Compassion has its place, but so does justice.

14. He was merely tolerable when Evans was alive.
Since the death of Evans, Novak is like a rabid rodent living in a garbage dump.

18. This is DU Lib...you are absolutely not allowed to feel pity for the enemy
If he were wounded and bleeding and you put a bullet in his head, it would still be a very very very bad thing for you to feel any sliver of pity whatsoever.

20. He's not "gone," if * doesn't win. He'll have 4 years
of ripping the Dem. Prez, a joy to him. He's been around a long, long time, and is a pro. He'll be around 'til he drops.

23. I thought that this might happen soon if you judge by his sick appearance.
He and Perle seem to be related (ugly white men with bags under their eye). They look sickly (besides being morally sick) but they keep going on, and on, and on... like the energizer bunny.

COUP D'ETAT:
The Real Reason Tenet and Pavitt Resigned from the
CIA on June 3rd and 4th

Bush, Cheney Indictments in Plame Case Looming

by
Michael C. Ruppert

additional reporting by
Wayne Madsen from Washington

Based upon recent developments, it appears that long-standing plans and preparations leading to indictments and impeachment of Bush, Cheney and even some senior cabinet members have been accelerated, possibly with the intent of removing or replacing the entire Bush regime prior to the Republican National Convention this August.

FTW has been documenting this Watergate-like coup for more than fifteen months and almost everything we will discuss about recent events was predicted by us in the following pages: Please see our stories "The Perfect Storm - Part I" (March 2003); "Blood in the Water" (July 2003); "Beyond Bush - Part I" (July 2003); "Waxman Ties Evidentiary Noose Around Rice and Cheney" (July 2003); and "Beyond Bush - Part II" (October 2003). ~

snip

~It is one of the greatest ironies of the Plame affair that the Bush administration, spawned and nurtured by oil, might have committed suicide by vindictively, cruelly and unthinkingly exacting personal retribution on an intelligence officer who had committed no offense, and who was, quite possibly, providing the administration with critical oil-related intelligence which the President needed to manage our shaky economy and affairs of state for a while longer to squeak through to re-election. In our opinion, nothing better epitomizes the true nature of the Neocons.~

22. Why Would He Be Doomed with a Dem Administration?
Edited on Wed Jun-16-04 12:02 PM by UTUSN
Dems-in-place just fires up the wingnuts all the more, and they rake in more dough being the voice of opposition.

I thought you were going to say you were sorry for NOVAKula for his loose false teeth addling his alcohol pickled brain.
