Novak Hackery

Posted on 11/06/2008 at 9:06 am by Bob Cesca

Robert Novak yesterday on the president-elect’s seven million vote margin:

[Obama] neither received a broad mandate from the public nor the needed large congressional majorities.

Robert Novak on President Bush’s three million vote margin in 2004:

Q: Bob Novak, is 51 percent of the vote really a mandate?

NOVAK: Of course it is. It’s a 3.5 million vote margin. But the people who are saying that it isn’t a mandate are the same people who were predicting that John Kerry would win.

Eight or ten years ago, establishment pundits could get away with huge amounts of hackery, and I think people like Novak keep forgetting that the tubes exist where people can, you know, look things up.

    Novakula should get back to practicing driving so he doesn’t hit anymore inocent people with his corvette.

    You gotta love the internet.Besides, Novak lost all credibility when he did that thing, errrr, what was it again? Oh yeah, when we was complicit in treason in the Plame affair.

  • J M Ashby

    He also hit a guy driving his corvette and just kept on driving until a guy stopped him. He then claimed he didn’t see that he hit someone. How you can not see a person hitting your windshield is beyond me.

    How did he get out of his Defensive Driving for Septuagenarians class long enough to vomit out this crap?

    But you know what? I’m loving every minute of it because now EVERYONE knows that they’re full of shit and they probably always have been. AHAHAAHAAHAH!! FUCKING MANDATE BABY! SUCK ON IT!

    Excellent stuff, Bob. Between the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and guys like you, the pedants, er, “pundits” can’t get away with this nonsense like they used to. It’s the MSM that will be marginalized, and I was thinking that “Truth” sites that deconstruct and report on current history to provide fast-reaction fact checking will become the norm. (You will know their names; you will make them famous and will know their names!!) :D

    Douchebaghdad Bob [Novak] forgot he is now employed by station STFU.

  • El Mystico

    Whywhywhy does anyone let Bob Novak say stuff still? PS… only the largest congressional majority since what, 1980? Yeah.

  • Teaflax

    Huh? I thought Novak was dead. Must have been wishful thinking.
