Fret not, at least Novak's gone

[PurityOfEssence]

Bob Novak, heart of darkness for the right wing is gone. To paraphrase Randy Newman: he's dead, he just doesn't know it.

Then again, maybe he does.

To his credit, he wasn't a neo-con bent on invading a sovereign nation that hadn't threatened us. He also wasn't swept along with the neo-con's need to support Israel at all costs. (Hell, he foreswore the Judaism he was born to and publicly became a Catholic.) He was against the Iraq greedfest, but he certainly toed the line when it was important.

His only loyalty is to himself. Now, he's sold out his masters by saving his own ass after currying favor. He will be reviled by all: the right will hate him and the decent part of humanity already does.

Virtually everybody hates a rat. A stool pigeon is the ugliest creature in the world of crime, and he sang mightily.

Oh, we'll see him again, but he's lost all power in the media, and his appearances will be few and troubled. His shows are all canceled, and his world is now much smaller.

Selfishness is the core of conservatism, and he typifies it. In his few moments of honesty, he differed with the neo-cons about invading Iraq and he worried about deficits.

May he live long and suffer.

The recent footage on CNN's Headline News is a clip of him windblown and sickly on a runway. He is in hell now, and he deserves every lick of the flames.

Preserving privilege is important to him, but for all his acumen, he's a lightweight, and the piper wants to be paid.

1. I think he was only tolerated before, because of his connections.

Now he's outright reviled.

But he'll still make big money on the KoolAid talking circuit.

2. Without getting all "tinfoil hatty" on you....

....what a break for Novak that CNN cancelled Crossfire when it did....and then dumped the Capitol Gang a few weeks later....as it turns out just one day after O'Donnell broke the Cooper e-mail story.

I do think it's just a happy coincidence for the P.O.D., but a coinkydink nonetheless that allowed him to burrow underground for a while, hoping for the shitstorm to blow over.

Ya a stoolie like him is dead weight for the right wing spin machine...his operative status appears to have become....inoperative.

Too bad so sad.

:nopity:

4. Bizniss is bizniss

Reliable spinner though he was, he didn't suck up to the neo-cons' dreams of empire. He also had an untidy habit of doing what was best for himself rather than what was best for the ruling class, even though they were often the same.

Bummer.
