Then Who IS Talking to Bob Novak?

those finger quotes don’t help, Bob.

‘Cause even the quote thingy with your fingers won’t get us to listen to you, Bob.

Ben Smith:

Obama, whose campaign jumped on Robert Novak’s suggestion earlier this year of Clinton dirty tricks, mocked Novak’s column today that Michelle [Obama] has nixed Clinton as a vice president…

 [Senator Obama] dismissed it with a flit of his hand. He nearly didn’t say anything, but then offered: “My wife does not talk to Bob Novak on a regular basis.”

Dang, and I was gonna call Michelle Obama to find out if her new confidante Bob Novak got a subpoena in the Plame lawsuit.

Michele Obama, the new “Jackie O”, is going to wear thin after about the first 60 days of his inauguration if elected. They need to keep her well under wraps until this is over since her anger and arrogance is not very becoming. Insisting that she understands the plight of the average worker since they have had to shell out $10,000 yrly for dance lessons, costumes, riding lessons, gymnastics, etc., certainly made me feel for them. Yep, grassroots people all the way.

Wiped off that Brown Lipstick from servicing Rove yet, Bob?

Yeah, when I want the inside scoop on Obama’s next move, where else would I go than Bob “Benedict Arnold” Novak?

What with him being so dependable.
Unless you’re actually FIGHTING terrorism, that is.

Made me laugh, Bubba. Didn’t wanna do it, but you made me.

He was on Fox today giving his opinions on all sorts of things. Of course the conversation got around to the quote by Michelle about being happy and yeah, the flag pin too.

They were saying that McCain wouldn’t bring up these things but that the 527s “probably” would.

If I were Michelle I would be telling Obama to nix the Hillary on the ticket idea because the last thing Obama, as president, would need to deal with is Bill telling him how to do his job. A president should only have to deal with one vice president at a time. I cannot see how Bill would sit back and let Hillary and Obama run the country without putting in his two cents as often as possible. Sure Bill could have some good advice for Obama, but he can give it to him without having Hillary in the middle.

Novakula ought to be in rotting in jail with Rove, Cheney and the rest of them.

why would hillary want to vp, when she is either gonna be handed the gov of ny or senate leader

Novak is to me just like Rush. If he didn’t open his mouth once in a while and say something outrageous, no one would remember that he is alive.

Today on Fox he said that the repubs have a file on Michelle. Suggesting what? That she is an black lady who grew up in middle class America and married a man who is half black? Yeah sure, I can see tons of problems for her in the future. Wait, no I can’t.

uncle joe hussein mccarthy @ 13:

NY has a governor, Governor Patterson. I don’t see him giving that up anytime soon. And as for Senate leader, we already have Senator Reid. In fact, her campaign may create problems for her in the Senate. Since, among those who’ve voted, the majority suppport Obama. The longer Hillary’s campaign continues, the more likely she is to be labeled divisive and hurting our likely nominee. In turn, the fewer friends she may have in the Senate when she returns.

And don’t forget First ladies man Bill. If he gets back in the White House, no big butt will be safe….again.

So Novak says that Michelle Obama doesn’t want Hillary on the ticket and that should mean what to me? This sounds like the kind of gossip you expect from old ladies at the beauty salon.

Honey, that is the truth. She said it herself. To a group of women around a picnic table. The camera panned the women’s reactions and they just sat there. Dumbstruck.

Since he didn’t hear that from Michelle, he probably heard it from…his a**.

man, you sure are jealous of the successful now arent you?

jackie o???

boy, that is a stretch

here is what i am getting tired of…the abject racism of this country couched in other terms

the only black people you like are the stepandfetchits and the uncle toms

I don’t worry about Bill’s sexual escapades, I worry about his verbal escapades. He is so defensive of Hillary on the campaign trail, imagine how he would be in the white house if she were vice president. Not a pretty scene.

I really don’t care how the Obama’s spend their personal income. Nor would I expect them to care how I spend mine. I grew up poor as hell but I don’t live today the way I did back then. If they want to spend their money on their little girls, that’s no ones business but theirs.

I thought Novak was doing a tribute to Chris Farley in the above photo:

well maybe I’m not “the norm”. I’m not “camera friendly”, I don’t “wear clothes that fit me”, I’m not a “heartbreaker”, I haven’t had “sex with a woman”, I don’t know “how that works”, I don’t “fall in line”, I’m not “hygienic”, I don’t “wipe properly”, I lack “style”, I don’t have “self-esteem”, I have no “charisma”, I don’t “own a toothbrush”, I don’t “let my scabs heal”, I can’t “reach all the parts of my body”, when I sleep I sweat profusely. But I guess the powers that be will keep signing my pay check until Jack and Jane K. Viewer start to go for the remote so they can get back to commentators who don’t “frighten children”, who don’t “eat their own dandruff”, who don’t “pop their whiteheads with a compass they used in high school”.

Recently I heard a one of the talking heads (not David Byrne or Tina Weymouth) say that anything is possible and that Nobody could have guessed that JFK would pick LBJ as a VP. I don’t think Michelle-O wants to end like Jackie-O, a wid-O.

Cindy understands the beer drinking habits of good salt-of-the-earth working class white guys, and has made a fortune.

Ben, read upthread. It’s not hard to do, unless you’re medicated.

Maybe Novak could try to find out when we will see John McCain’s health records and Cindy McCain’s tax returns. I think that would be a more journalistic endeavor than spreading rumors about the Obamas.

I can’t think of a single instance where Bill’s defense of his wife was unjustified. That being said the only instance I found of a candidates spouse being over the top and unjustified was this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN1qZMBE9Gc I found this disturbing on several levels. It is the only instance in this campaign of a general attack on a candidates family. Whatever Bill’s past actions neither Hillary nor Chelsea deserved that attack. Furthermore the idea that someone runs or controls a family is a rather disturbing concept in its’ own right. It may be necessary for both the Obamas to do this sort of thing in order to win in November but spare me the holier-than-thou nonsense.

Mister Anderson Says:

You guys need to check out this “Presidential Voting Scenario Simulations” that I found on HuffPo. The guy behind this simulator predicted that Obama would win NC by 17 (he won by 14) and lose by 2 (he lost be 2) in Indiana last week while the rest of the polls have far different results.

Now he has all of these simulations and models about three ways that Obama can improve his chances to winnning by over 60% - 70% by just raising the turnout by no more than 20% - 40% by certain groups, including youth and Blacks which is VERY possible.

If this is true, then it supports the original argument I made that this year won’t be based on demographics, but on turn out of your strongest support. So whatever Obama lost in terms of the older white woman vote, he could make up for with Blacks and youth. He was either going to win by 10 or lose by 10. According to these simulations, that might be true.

She has been compared to Jackie O by some breathless, gushing commentators. Just like he has been compared to MLK, JFK, RFK and Jesus Christ on a Cracker. And no, I am not racist just because I am not onboard with this candidate. Just a little weary from all the “wonderfulness” I have been subjected to by “The One” and his supporters

Novak, Rove, Cheney, Mary Matalin and the whole bunch who outed an agent and lied us into this war should be in prison. If there is any justice in this world Novak and Rove will be tried and convicted and Bush/Cheney and friends will be handed over to the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity. That’s a really big IF. I really don’t believe that Obama or Clinton would do the right thing here.

You probably forgot about Bill trying to explain the Bosnia story after Hillary had already said it wasn’t true. But that’s okay.

I don’t know what you took away from what Michelle said on that video, but I didn’t think it reflected on the Clinton family. I took it as a general comment about anyone.

You sound frustrated as hell and if you are a Hillary supporter, I can understand why you would be. The trouble with this campaign time is that the dems had two good candidates and I believe either should and could beat McCain. I don’t blame you for being angry and frustrated. Were I in your shoes I would probably be feeling the same way.

Thanks for understanding. This is one of the few times I have not been called a racist or worse. I am just so sick of the sexism and insults.
