Didn’t always agree with the crotchety old guy, but he had some very good points. Death is a day we will all have to face at some point, but today, RIP Bob.

The thing I will remember is that he started the downfall of the Bush Administration by publishing the Plame story.

R.I.P.

Novak maintained a lifelong tie to the University of Illinois with the school creating the Robert D. Novak chair of Western Civilization and Culture in 200X.

Obviously they couldn't confirm the year by deadline.

I was just thinking about Bob Novak the other day, wondering how he was doing.

May he rest in peace.

My favorite Novak memory was from a Crossfire program, years ago.

Novak used to be on it with Tom Braden, who was about 100 years old and a hardcore liberal.

The format was that the show was hosted by a conservative (Novak) and a liberal (Braden). One of the two would open the program with his own introduction, then the other would launch into the bod of the show.

This day, Braden opened with this spiel. I wish I could remember the topic or specifics, but it was just a laundry list of liberal bile and twisting.

Camera cuts to Novak, who’s supposed to launch. Instead, he just has this incredulous look on his face, sort of a half-smile. He’s speechless for a second. Then he just says, “I can’t believe you actually said that.”

It wasn’t smooth and polished and plastic. Novak spoke for me in that instance, and I was glad of it.

RIP Bob.

He was also a devoted Maryland Terrapin basketball fan (as am I). I used to enjoy seeing him on TV in the stands behind the team.

Many of us will miss you, Bob, but I’m sure Roland is glad to have his old friend back.

Prayers for Robert’s soul and the family.

God bless him. Novak became a Roman Catholic in 1998.
