My guess this will bother Bob Novak as much as being called a "Byzantine logothete" by Teddy Roosevelt bothered Woodrow Wilson.

Is Novak the one who is being charged with wearing a Terrapin costume? I thought he was strictly a University of Illinois alum.

Is that worse than being called an "old arab"? I can't really say...

Teddys' kneepadder is a talentless hack, who can only be a momentary blip on the radar screen because of breathtaking stupidity.

I don't know where the wolf is. The only shape-shifter in politics lately is Hillary.

Mendacious lycanthrope?

Isn't that the scientific name for some type of fern?

From the article: "Mendacious means untruthful and the Oxford dictionary defines lycanthrope as "a werewolf." It defines "lycanthropy" as "the mythical transformation of a person into a wolf. Archaic, a form of madness involving the delusion of being an animal, usually a wolf." "

Whatever, huh?

But listening to Novak on basketball is like listening to Ron Reagan on. . . anything. Novak is one of the last remaining reporters on the political scene who actually researches what's going on and reports it. But on basketball?

It's a Marty Feldman line in "Young Frankenstein". At least I think it is. Maybe I just made it up.

Has to do with the originary power of the sovereign State as mentioned in Plato's Republic 525d.

I suspect the person may have meant to say "misanthrope" instead of "lycanthrope".

They've got Novak all wrong. Let me be blunt: The sad truth is that he's a conspibular plecticite of the most flengritudinous order. I don't know how I can make it any plainer...
