Does Bob Novak EVER Tell the Truth About Anything?

Here's Bob Novak on Hannity & Colmes, interviewed by Ollie North and Alan Colmes, and by the number of lies he tells just in this interview (I lost count), it's a safe bet Joe Wilson was right.

North: Full disclosure here, unlike Valerie Plame, Bob, tell me, have you read her book?

Novak: Yes, I have.

North: And was she really, as she just said in that interview, pumping her book, was it really a very small circle of people who knew what her real job was?

Novak: Not at all. She was well known in many parts of the town that she worked for the CIA. She had not been a covert agent for some time. She wasn't really an agent ever, of course. She was covert at one time. The subtitle on the cover of the book is "My Life as a Spy." Of course she was never a spy....

The entire interview is Nofactula spewing complete BS. According to him: She was never a spy. ... Everybody knew she was in the CIA... Fitzgerald never found there was any crime... Novak never did anything wrong at all naming her in his column. ... Libby was innocent of leaking her identity. ... Joe and Valerie are just ultra-lefties critical of Bush. ... Valerie is just doing the TV circuit stretching the truth so she can sell more books. ... George H. W. Bush didn't ever call Joe Wilson "a true American hero"

Why isn't Ollie North in prison on charges of treason and/or drug trafficking?

Oh yeah, 'cause organized crime run the USA.

He is so full of it.... His depends is loaded

obviously Bob Novak doesn't really quite get it yet.... NOVAK YOU ARE A TRAITOR>
my friend at the CIA nearly lost his life you idiot.
America lost entire networks.... you idiot.
YOU IDIOT YOU IDIOT YOU IDIOT

Lying, traitorous scumbag Ollie North interviewing lying, traitorous scumbag Bob Novak. Perfect symmetry.

Good thing he isn't known as Bob Pinovacchio ... they'd need HD TV to get all of his nose in the frame.

novak must use that silver spoon of his to shovel his own shit in the air space between his ears.

Although I am grateful that at least SOMEONE at C&L watches that WORTHLESS EXCUSE OF A NEWS SHOW, my question is: DOES ANYONE ELSE even pay it any attention? I can't even stand to see that stupid idiot Dennis Miller do a commercial, let alone watch these other smug and self righteous BLOWHARDS give me their angle on current events...

GRRRR! GOD I HATE THAT MAN!

NO! The answer is "NO, Bob Novak never tells the truth about ANYTHING."

God. That sleazeball makes me embarrassed to me human. I'd say there are bloody crime-bosses that are worth at least ten of freaking Novak. Not just from the cutsie bullshyte with Plame either -- this guy has always been the stinking lump of dog-vomited feces on the shoe of humanity.

"Does Bob Novak EVER Tell the Truth About Anything?"

Apparently not...

Novak should be glad she wrote her book, it's the only reason he is invited to be on these sorts of shows. Otherwise he would still be yesterday's garbage.

I believe she could work at the CIA and some of her friends may have known where she worked, they just didn't know what she did there. She could have told them she was a secretary for all we know.

Logan, thanks for telling us some of what is on the video. I didn't want to play it for fear of getting Novak's drool all over my speakers. Plus his voice drives me crazy.

Bob Novak is a traitor to this country and he should be treated as such.

Of course she was never a spy. Novak doesn't lie.

She's a fake spy. It doesn't count when your husband is a Bush critic.

Sorry .... phony spy.

Apparently, Fox News will go so far as to hire convicted felons if they fit into the far right wing slot. WTF is Ollie North doing on the air. Why not resurrect Ken Lay and put him out there?

IDIOT is too weak a word for that asshole. He is a goddamn PARASITE that will be spending an eternity in a place far worse than hell.

It's amazing how tenaciously he clings to his lies, no matter how many times they've been debunked. I suppose they're all he has.

Oh, let me include Oliver North in the list of traitors. The saying "birds of a feather, flock to together" must be true. Who else would pimp traitor Bob Novak but another traitor.

Novak committed TREASON, if you losen the defination a bit. He wasn't trying to help a specific enemy. But he assisted in outing our own collection agent (the CIA name for a spy).

MORE garbage from lying liers!

*liars

Kind of like boy Bush and his vampire Cheney.

Well, if he is like Ollie North he'll make a fortune out of being traitor (who was convicted of three felonies, served no time, was then un-convicted, the Supreme Court ignored the case, etc.)

If you ask me, being a traitor to America in a Republican administration looks pretty damned lucrative to me. I mean, you DEFINITELY won't be punished or anything, that much is clear. Hell, you'd be crazy not to -- just look at them feed on the body of our country. It's working for them.

Just don't fly to Germany.

It's easy to lie right from your ass on Fox. None of their viewers has heard the truth in the last seven years. None of their viewers will argue with anything said on that station because they take it all at face value.

Perhaps this is an introduction to the Party's rehabilitation of comrade Novak.

Novak: Not at all. She was well known in many parts of the town that she worked for the CIA. She had not been a covert agent for some time. She wasn’t really an agent ever, of course. She was covert at one time. The subtitle on the cover of the book is “My Life as a Spy.” Of course she was never a spy….

Wait .........How in the hell could she be an agent at one time , yet not really an agent ever , of course ?
Is that why portions of her book have been redacted , jerkoff ?
Because they were stories about her typing from behind a desk ?
What the friggin' hell is wrong with this ugly little loathsome loser who never heard about keeping eyebrow hair under control ?
Why aren't these huge smoldering piles of shit , North and Novak , in prison for treason and traitorous behavior ?

According to Novak and Jethro Bodine, you ain't a real spy if'n ya' ain't got a double-naught number instead of a name.

There's Novakula it must be Halloween!

Nope. He's an unmitigated liar just like everyone else involved with the Republican Party.

While they are too inept and unintelligent to make the quality of their lies into an art form, they have definitely taken it to unprecedented levels.

Pathological is a word that comes to mind, but the question is did the Republican Party make it's adherents pathological liars or is it just that pathological liars are drawn to it?

:lol: at Marcus Aurelius comment number 26

So Novac says she drove to work at the CIA every day - that proves she wasn't covert. Was Valerie supposed to take the secret spy tunnels? Use the Star Trek transporters? WTF?

My dad had a good friend and college roommate who ended up as a CIA spook and we all knew it. I mean-I knew it as a kid.

But it wasn't made part of the national or international conversation, you traitor, Novak.

North: Full disclosure here, unlike Valerie Plame, Bob, tell me, have you read her book?

Full disclosure , Asshole North ?

Like what you gave before Congress when you LIED TO THEM ?

What is with these self-righteous morons of the GOP ?

They try to call out others for the actions they perceive as being despicable , after having done something just as egregious or even usually more reprehensible........

Lies on Hannity & Colmes??? C'mon.

Let me guess, ol' Alan just sat there and avoided any opportunity to set the record straight. Must be a Dem.

North..... Novak.....Faux Nooze...It's a trifecta!

If Valerie had been a real spy, she would have worn a black trench coat every day and been transported to work first by going to Target. From there she would have gone to Walmart. And at Walmart then she would have taken the bus to the nearest post office where she would have put on a postal carriers outfit and pretended to be delivering the mail to the CIA.

These two guys should be debating this in the jail yard. Meanwhile, good and thoughtful people don't get any air time. Well, you've got to push the propaganda, I guess.

So here we have a known liar interviewing another known liar about one of the liar's lies. Hmmm. Who should we believe?

Did you hear North's emphasized phrase "pumping her book" in re to Plame? What a hoax! It's still pretty fresh in my memory when HE was out pumping HIS book, which didn't do very well thank-you-very-much.

Imagine if that asswipe North actually was a senator? Oh the horror, the horror...

You crazy liberals. How do could you ever expect Bob Novak to tell the truth? It's like expecting Bushie to grow a brain, or Dick Cheney to grow a heart. It ain't gonna happen...

Wow, Novak is an idiot. A highly dangerous one at that. Check out this interview on the right wing attempt to go to war with Iran. Something Novak is salivating over no doubt: http://originalbanter.blogspot.com/2007/10/exclusive-daily-banter-interv...

Oh this is rich. I swear Jon Steward couldn't make this up.

We have in this clip a convicted liar (and yes Rep. trolls he was convicted, the pardon did not remove that fact) interviewing a man who utters almost nothing now but demonstrably false statements. Are we really that surprised by the fact that the segment contained nothing but falsehoods and misleading statements? If only to add to the irony, the interviewer knowingly supported known enemies to the US and the interviewee outed a covert CIA agent, so of course their experts on national security issues. Heed their words well true patriots!

I can just see the lead in for the next segment on Fixed Noise: ""Up next we have Charles Manson interviewing Ted Bundy on the sanctity of life and the latest in psychiatric care"

Bob Novak is just one more right-wing idot liar on the list. He's one of many thousands. It's like a disease. Once you swallow the right-wing dogma, you're willing to lie about anything, no matter how much it hurts the USA and humanity.

wow what a wind bag. How is this guy considered a journalist?

Novak demonstrated why need the ability to sue those kinds of shows.

Plus, Novak needs to be sued as well.

Accuracy is the most important standard, on anything. Talking heads on shows need to be sued if incorect statements are made.

Is Plame somehow forbidden from suing the shit out of Novak or something? I can see not being able to sue Cheney, Bush and Libby since they're the Masters of the Universe but who the fuck is Novak to be out there libeling someone like that? What proof does he have?

I'd be owning me a Novak suit by now if I was Val.

Two traitors getting a television forum. What a great country. This just goes to show that the U.S. has a liberal MSM. Oh that's rich. Neither one in jail now or ever and yet there are thousands in county farms and state prisons for a little weed. Anything wrong with this picture?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that traitorous asshole should be tried, convicted and shot at dawn.

I hope Plame's lawyers jam a nail-studded two by four up his rear during the civil trial.

Eeeeewwww! two ultra-creepy guys together... aaaaagggghhh!

Yes, there's lots wrong with this... you're good with words and I thank you for stating it so succinctly. I'm wondering about this too.

Exactly how do you get a job as a journalist without a degree. Graduation is very overrated.

An all star treason session with the guy who facilitated weapons sales to Iran interviewing the guy who outed a CIA agent and her entire clandestine operation. Brought to by the Fixed News network.

There is a big difference between a known liar, as in Novak and a convicted liar, as in Ollie North.
A secret office under the white house selling arms to... Iran.. was it not?
Illicit money used to finance an illegal war in Nicaragua:
And now you want to bomb Iran for having arms.
Time pass fast but the repetition of the same old lies and liars is monotonous.

Video is super, mega, ultra creepy.

Novak is a freakin liar and traitor. Hard to listen to that sleazeball without my stomach turning.

Agreed-
Fox news puts Ollie North and this piece of human shit Novak on the air, and they call it news.

Yeah, that's right Fox. Keep taking yourselves seriously, because no one else does.

Oh, I see, now. Silly me.

The big crime to Novak is that Plame is critical of Bush and said that she thinks he is dishonest!

MAAAAAADNESSSSSSSSS!

beached whale Novak will say anything to get airtime. Ailes puts the Teddy Ruxpin tapes in his back and he's ready to please the LGFish bedwetters

It is so obvious that novak is a catapulter of propaganda, just pumping the bush bullshit to keep the fuhrer in the WH happy. Why do all the Nazi-sympathizers tend to gravitate towards this administration? What will be the target of these holy wars after the Muslims are taken care of - the Jews?

I had a little linky fun with Ollie's and North's names when doing this post. :)

er, Ollie's and Nofact's names that is.

Plame was not covert according to Novak , yet even today she could be convicted for revealing any of her covert operations to the press....covert at the time or not.
Novak will never come across as the sympathetic character in this crime, and he damn sure will never be looked on as innocent......convicted or not.

Only one word to describe this man... traitor. Period.

If he didn't have his nose so far stuck up the Republican Elephant's butt, then he might just be able to breathe a little fresh air into that brain of his and see that he was used... or he used Rove...Anyway.. he's just a useful idiot.

So since she "may" have been outed that makes it okay to print it. Why don't we leaflet her contacts names all over hell too? - the cat "may" be out of the bag after all. Hypocrites as usual - these are the same fascist-like goons who got a lather up when the ILLEGAL wiretapping story hit the front pages (like the terrorists wouldn't have guessed?!?)... In their world view the terrorist have a complex communication and data collection apparatus to communicate Plames identity to every terrorists cubicle inbox and verification by an White House official would is not necessary BUT they never ever would expect a wiretap, only if an American newspaper would report on it could they bring themselves to believe it.

Fun, and well done, as ever, bill. Love the "nofactula" line, too.

We must put Novak on "time out,"until he learns to tell the truth.It is interesting that he is getting leading questions from a convicted felon.(if he wasn`t convicted,I apologize,he should have been.)

We have to make it mandatory for these people to complete and pass courses in ethics,the Constitution, and Why War Is Bad 101, which includes viewing All Quiet on the Western Frontbefore they`re allowed to lie to the public anymore.

Fuck You Robert Novak!! Rot in hell yoiu slimeball!!

Ollie North is a convicted felon (overturned on a technicality- the government used his admission of guilt in front of congress to get a conviction when he was given imunity from prosecution—he committed the crime!!!!!!) and an embarrassment to the Marine Corp. Are you surprised he interviews this scumbag Robert Novak. Birds of a fucken feather I tell you.

There's a 'High Level Leak' that Novak ONCE told the truth about something, but an extensive LexisNexis search has failed to uncover it.

Does anyone out there have a clue as to what it might have been or when it occured?

Or is this just another unfounded Novak rumor?

It's a Lying Liars Lie-Fest!

who you gonna believe?the person who was in the CIA or a neocon Reporter who has lost all credibility..........that's a no brainer....but then again.... when you add in the 24%rs...brains don't come into the picture.

LOL....and to think they got Ollie North to do this interview..............ROLFLMAO!....no really...this is so absurd....I can't do anything but laugh at it.

He was once overheard saying, "I look like shit!"

I heard he said..."MORE BLOOD"....rite before dark

God, rid us from Novak and all these idiots...God, why have you forsaken us?!?!?!

It is absolutely the theater of the absurd. Pure satire. It has to be. Mud, you hit it on the head-No Credibility. Who in the thier right mind watches FOX and takes them serioously? Who? Not my grandma.

RedRocker @ 74:

God, rid us from Novak and all these idiots...God, why have you forsaken us?!?!?!

Because God believes that when you blow a tire, you should be able to change it yourself.

He's old school that way...

Surely you must have checked carefully to insure that you weren't revealing the name of a covert spy before you ruined her name and career. That's not a crime that's punishable with death, that's just a day in the life of a tool of the opressor. Perhaps you consulted with Ollie about the legal ramifications of this.

Oh yea, cause you're all about the accuracy, Novak. The sickest part
of interviews like this one is that there are still people out there who actually
believe this garbage. I need some wine!

RedRocker @ 74:

God, rid us from Novak and all these idiots...God, why have you forsaken us?!?!?!

I think you`got something here.A just God forsaking a people who have destroyed another country for no reason except that they live on top of oil that their greedy leaders want to use to further enslave the dumb asses that they know won`t do anything about it?Do you think a just God would desert such people?You`re damn right He would.
Rock on"RedRocker,"you`re right on the money.
God Bless America.

Wine won`t help unless you have a vineyard.Not even that can help this country of the numb.

Is Bob Novak the fly on the wall in the CIA. Since he knows everything about everybody, where, when and how did he find out. You are damn right his ass should be in jail for treason. The pompous little S.O.B. jealous as hell because he never really lives anything. And his only claim to anything is he has a column in a republican rag where he can post any lie he wants, and usually does.

I think they forgot their other Fox News Felon, G. Gordon Liddy, for the hat trick...

broadsword @ 47:

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that traitorous asshole should be tried, convicted and shot at dawn.

I hope Plame's lawyers jam a nail-studded two by four up his rear during the civil trial.

Which one are you referring to?

What a miserable old bastard is Novak. He knows what he did, yet, he bloviates every way possible to besmirch a true patriot, Valerie Plame-Wilson. He is a fucking traitor. It is my fervent hope that he soon steps out in front of Greyhound Bus. I'm not advocating violence, just wishing the fickle finger of fate pays him a visit and removes his lying ass from this planet.

Well, one thing - I take solice watching 2 wash ups end up on the same place where all the other washups along with those "bubble headed bleach blonds" as Don Henley refers to end up. Viva Faux News!....

- Bob Novak - Douchebag of Liberty!!!!!

Novak looks like something the cat drug in. If my cat did so, I would encourage it to rebury him.

If I looked, sounded and thought like him, I would strongly be forced to kill myself.

Novak is a pathetic POS liar.

And, I once had the opportunity to call in on Phil Donahue's show and tell Ollie that he had a lot of nerve disgracing a Marine's uniform and that he didn't speak for me or countless other Americans. He was a sophomoric twit then, and he is a sophomoric twit now.

Why isn't Ollie in jail, he was convicted of crimes...oh, I forgot.

If Plame wasn't covert, why did "scooter" Liebowitz perjure himself?

If Novak is a goldfish bowl of pig piss, then Ollie North is a goldfish bowl full of scorched pig piss. And I truly, to the depths of my soul, resent every damned penny of my taxes that has gone to pay for this asshole's free Annapolis education, pension and medical care since his, "separation from the service."

Fuck him. And his horse. And his little cat that sings the blues.

If what Valerie Wilson says in her book is true, then Robert Novak is a Traitor who went around Washington D.C. blurting her covert status out to every passerby in the street... LITERALLY.

When this whole "outing" thing happened... I found Novak's email address... sent him an email telling him that he was a disgrace to journalism and a few other things on my mind. Probably didn't do any good but it sure made me feel good!

1. The CIA thought the revealing of Plame's identity was serious enough to ask President George W. Bush to investigate the matter.

2. George W. Bush thought it was serious and asked the Justice Department to investigate the matter.

3. The Justice Department thought it was serious and appointed a special prosecutor to investigate the matter.

4. The grand jury thought it was serious and passed an indictment related to it.

5. The jury thought it was serious and passed a guilty verdict related to it.

6. The judge thought it was serious and gave a harsh sentence in which he clearly stated it was serious.

7. Other judges had a chance to review the case and did not overturn the verdict.

But Republican pundits say it was not serious and nothing at all.

Who do you trust?

Rusty Shackleford @ 4:

Lying, traitorous scumbag Ollie North interviewing lying, traitorous scumbag Bob Novak. Perfect symmetry.

Hi Rusty, You know how the grim ah wormtongues around Arbusto constantly aver his striking resemblance to Churchill as a great wartime leader?
Well, if V.P. had been a char, at Blenchley Park, Novak et al. would have been summarily shot. Ah for the good old days.

NO

NO

So neo conservative snoop hack Novack is all of a sudden a CIA OP authority?

Can 't Novak lie with any ounce of illusion for convincing others?

Novak is one who believes OJ is guilty when found innocent and (inmate #29301-015) I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby who was found guilty is innocent. OJ wasn't republican and Scooter was? Is that it?

I enjoyed the portion where Novak whines that, " She picked on my adorable republican President".

Anyone know exactly who this sort comical entertainment is appealing to?

Like you think Steve Jobs, Speilburg, Warren Buffett et al watch this stuff and are convinced by Novak?

I'm sure Novak would suck Murdoch's toes for a fee. Matter of fact he did in this clip.

Take Rove's cock out of your mouth, Bob.

So when you lose all the real arguments, then change the argument. These were the tired arguments they repeat and continue to lose: there was no crime, she wasn't important, she wasn't covert, she was already outed. Now they just say she is anti-Bush. Gosh, I wonder why. Couldn't have anything to do with the fact chimpy and darth ruined their careers, ignored their findings and lied the country into a war. No it must be something else. Ah, it's because Joe Wilson worked under Clinton/Gore. See, there's always an easy explanation that usually involves blaming Clinton/Gore.

BTW, Novak is a sick old man. He will be dead very soon and when he goes I'm finding his grave and shitting on it and wiping my ass on his tombstone. RIP sick repug fuck.

When Novak corrects Colmes on Libby's commutation, you can hear North chuckle. Its another gotcha moment for the insane-right.
