He was a registered Democrat who supported JFK and Lyndon Johnson. He was a Jew who coverted to Catholicism and was pro-Palestinian. He was a sharp and hostile critic of the Iraq war. He was responsible for the Valerie Plame witch hunt. He supported Ron Paul in 2007. He was a Paleo Conservative of the Pat Buchanan mold.
RIP

The thing I will remember is that he started the downfall of the Bush Administration by publishing the Plame story. Any "downfall" of Bush's Administration was entirely due to it being their own fault, not Robert Novak.

I always liked Novak. RIP.

You already know what to expect from the way the incident with the bicyclist was handled. Clearly he was suffering the effects from the then undiagnosed tumor at the time. The way the press handled it then, you would have thought that he had set fire too a school bus full of handicapped children. This from the same press that laid down and regurgitated the Ted Kennedy line on an “accident” in which someone was drowned in his car. Who will soon treat the passing of same as the death of a Pope. Novak was too good for that profession!

We feel privileged to have witnessed a couple of those famous (and
funny!) debates between Bob Novak and Sam Donaldson at CPAC over the years! Priceless...

Your point being to spit in his face before he is even in the ground? How thoughtful of you.

To: UglyinLA
The thing I will remember is that he started the downfall of the Bush Administration by publishing the Plame story.Yes he did. Novak tossed a softball and Bush and his people treated it like a grenade. The cluelessness of Bush and the stupidity of people like Scooter Libby and Karl Rove was startling. I'll never understand why Cheney didn't step up. The story also exposed the cowardice and lying hypocrisy of people like Colin Powell and Richard Armitage. The whole thing was a mind-boggling clusterf+++ that didn't have to be.

Novak was one of a kind, last of a breed. Yeah, he was one tough guy often sitting on panels where there were 5 liberals, all of them insulting and belittling him, and he hung in there day after day.

I fondly remember him once complaining that tv reports about homelessness almost ruined his Thanksgiving dinner. RIP
