Robert Novak seemed like an extremely happy person, with love and compassion exuding from his person.
August 20, 2009 at 7:16 am
He loved children, and puppies, and rainbows, and My Little Pony.

He loved children, and puppies
Just about anway they were prepared in fact.
August 20, 2009 at 11:22 am
rofl!
August 20, 2009 at 7:34 am
He had quite a set of choppers, that guy. A smile like of row of perfectly polished tombstones.
August 20, 2009 at 7:52 am
Bob was just this guy, you know?…
August 20, 2009 at 8:07 am
So was Bob Dick Cheney’s evil twin, or was it the other way around?
A question to puzzle the ages.
August 20, 2009 at 8:32 am
It might have seemed so,
but in fact it was
just
gas.
August 20, 2009 at 8:34 am
His favorite hobby was playing the hammer dulcimer.
August 20, 2009 at 8:52 am
Using just a palette knife, Titanium White and a touch of Phthalo Blue, he could paint a snow-capped mountain that took your breath away.
August 20, 2009 at 8:57 am
His gold-medal 1968 Olympic figure skating performance was overshadowed by Jean-Claude Killy’s sweep of the alpine skiing events.
August 20, 2009 at 9:11 am
Also, when he was still a teenager, he invented the rheostat and the tongue depressor.

“Here lies John…
We’re rather glad he’s gone.”
(5 points and a pony ride to the first to name the tune.)
August 20, 2009 at 10:55 am
Rest in Peace by Chad and Jeremy.
I want my pony ride NOW, damn it.
August 20, 2009 at 4:06 pm
While the contest organizers are trying to locate a suitable pony, please enjoy this video.

And he converted *to* Catholicism, as ever going against the grain of what was fashionable, trendy, and sane.
August 20, 2009 at 10:13 am
Few people know that he was given the nickname “Prince of Darkness” by a grateful Eldridge Cleaver.
August 20, 2009 at 10:18 am
He taught Martha Graham to golf and Sam Snead to dance.
August 20, 2009 at 11:10 am
He was completely non-vile, fair and honest to a fault. He almost certainly didn’t eat bowls of live kittens for breakfast.
As a recovering Catholic, I do wonder a little why anyone would ever convert TO Catholicism…
August 20, 2009 at 11:25 am
Most people don’t know that he fathered an illegitimate child named Marc Ambinder. The mother was Phyllis Schlafly.
August 20, 2009 at 11:28 am
Or maybe it was Anita Bryant, I forget. It was so long ago.
August 20, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Kaye Grogan?
August 20, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I don’t think Kaye’s that old. It might have been Tammy Faye Baker, though.
August 20, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Hands off Agnes Morehead on this one, sister!
August 20, 2009 at 11:25 am
RIP
May you go to a libertarian paradise, where there’s no government and no need to divide your stash with anyone. Hope is not too hot and full of lava!

Bob Novak’s gigantic black wings uncurled as Bob slithered down into his masters lap and whispered something into it’s ear before being slapped down into yet another abyss of pain and misunderstanding.
August 20, 2009 at 9:03 pm
I’ll just re-post what I said at Sadly,No! because, well, it’s win:
I’ll give Novak a pass on the running the pedestrian over bit, only because just a few days later his brain tumor was discovered. Brain tumors can cause blackouts and all sorts of erratic behavoir. It’s ironic that in his case, the brain tumor merely loosened his inhibitions against doing the kind of stuff he always wanted to do anyway – such as run poor people down in the streets like dogs. That’s the bit where I won’t give him a pass.
August 20, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Not it having the conversation as Grandpa Bobs’s daughter, “Dad maybe you shouldn’t drive anymore, Bob is more then happy to drive you..”
Or one of his hatchlings…
August 20, 2009 at 9:19 pm
This is the single greatest Poor Man comment thread ah’b ebah seen. I feel una ble to contribute in substance, so I’ll just note that Bob was an ass’s ass. Or a honkey’s donkey. A mule’s fuel.
August 20, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Not everything is about Vietnam, man.
August 20, 2009 at 10:55 pm
I didn’t even know he died.
My favorite Robert Novak moment was when Media Attacker called in to his show when Jesse Helms was on and thanked him for “keeping the niggers down” and they both looked at each other and grinned.
August 20, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Hey Editors and Patriot nerds, I hope you’re ready to get lit the fuck up by the Bills on opening day. lol
What you’re going to get is a little something we like to call ‘The Tijuana Picnic’.
Just try to keep the score differential below 30, OK? For some reason I’m not confident that Andy Levitre and Eric Wood can handle the Pats DL rotation. For some reason…
Do they have to do this to me on National TV, Week 1? Baby Jesus HELP US!!

Bert Ferve to the rescue!
August 21, 2009 at 12:03 am
Exactly Bert Fevre and Mitchell Gordon vs Brett Favre and Michael Jordan.
August 21, 2009 at 12:03 am
He used to make these salmon crépes with radish, peach and mango salsa and asparagus tips with sweet pickled capers were simply to die fo- I mean, they were delicious.
August 21, 2009 at 7:21 am
I believe Julia child said: ‘You can peel a sole but you can’t peel a flounder’. Words to live by. Also: ‘America has no true sole’.
Not sure about the spelling.
Anyway, Bob was a real American. Completely without sole.
August 21, 2009 at 11:54 am
That wasn’t all he exuded. And now we have to clean it up.
August 21, 2009 at 12:21 pm
He knew how to treat a female impersonator.
August 21, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Is it true that Valerie Plame is doing the eulogy?
August 21, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Since my significant other laughed at it, I’ll re-post what I wrote at No More Mr. Nice Blog:
Too bad the headlines didn’t read, “Douchebag of Liberty Springs Permanent Leak.”
August 21, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Bob was a simple yet complicated man.
Simple, in that he wore woolen underwear which he enjoyed knitting, and with those personal curmudgeon lessons he tenderly gave Dick Cheney.
Complicated, in his love/hate relationships with CNN, “slow-ass” pedestrians, and Ozzy Ozborne.
He will not be missed, but we shall remember him nonetheless.
August 21, 2009 at 4:55 pm
And now a clip from Bob’s favorite movie.
August 21, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Yes that movie would definitely require repetitive watching over eternity.
August 21, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Wherever Bob Novak is now, I’m sure he’s looking up at us.
August 22, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Sun Ra asked for the night off. So…
August 23, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I was very surprised when I heard that Bob Novak had a brain tumor. I expected it to be pus.
August 23, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Bob was the model for the villain Simon Bar Sinister in the old Underdog cartoon. He was also raised by coyotes, who could sense something akin in his inner essence.
August 23, 2009 at 1:59 pm
fuck, must close tabs…
August 24, 2009 at 11:57 am
I’m just surprised the obits I’ve read omitted his early career as Shirley Temple’s love interest in Candy Cane Dreams and other delightful entertainments. He had a smile that could make the blind see again.

Where is the Yeti Fetish material?
August 25, 2009 at 12:28 pm
He was disliked, but he was not well-disliked.

“Half minute orbit” good title!
That’s about the time it takes for your arguments to turn into a flaming hole in the ground, right?
I think the news satellites are tracking you man…
