Novak Clobbers Colmes on McClellan Claims
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/21/2007 8:11:58 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

If Alan Colmes turns up at your Thanksgiving get-together sporting a couple shiners and a re-arranged smile, don't press the poor guy if he claims to have walked into a door. The FNC host just got clobbered by a certified DC heavyweight -- Bob Novak.

Novak was a guest on this evening's Hannity & Colmes. Colmes first questioned the venerable reporter about the item he published this week regarding the Clinton campaign's claim to have a scandalous story about Barack Obama. For the record, Novak stated this evening that since first reporting the story, "I've had substantiation from another source, another very, very good source, who with his own ears heard Clinton people putting out" allegations about Obama.

That's when Colmes decided to press his luck. Mistake.

Novak is teaching a lesson on how to be interviewed by a media personality.

1. Don't be intimidated.

2. Because they're ignorant.

Problem is Colmes doesn’t know when he’s being clobbered because he’s too busy reading the DNC emailed talking points. Oh, and he’s ugly, too.

I’m certainly no GWB fan, but Mclellean is a back stabbing POS. I can’t believe W kept this sweaty scum so long on the payroll...

“Colmes doesn’t know when he’s being clobbered.”

He actually did realize what a drubbing he had taken. At the end of the video clip you can hear Colmes begging for “generosity” from Novak.

Colmes has completely come unhinged and whoever books Novak and Morris deserves a raise.

Saw that it was great put down on Colmes. I can’t stand the Colmes because he interrupts his opponents to the point where you can’t hear what they say. Novak acted like his father slapping him down intellectually of course.

Here’s a question I’d like to see asked

Why is this book in the news .. it’s not due to be released till APRIL 2008

Which means the public won’t see it till then and have to rely on liberals like Colmes’ reporting??

Sounds a lot like Hannity. I guess that's why they're "partners".

“Problem is Colmes doesn’t know when he’s being clobbered because he’s too busy reading the DNC emailed talking points. Oh, and he’s ugly, too.”

Others probably remember the movie “Tom Jones.” One of the characters in that movie was a Mr. Bliffle - Holmes is a dead ringer in both appearance and personality.

Some of the session is available at www.foxnews.com. Look at the right of the page for a link with Novak’s image.

Good one!

The liberal Democrats continue to crack me up with their total inability to think linearly. Alan is just the latest pathetic example. It’s amazing, isn’t it? To people like us, people who think normally, it is obvious that once Novak reported about Valerie Plame, based on information he received from Richard Armitage, it became impossible for anyone else to “leak” the same information since information which is already in the public domain no longer qualifies as information which can be “leaked”.

There was one “leaker”, Richard Armitage, and that’s it. Case closed. This McClellan nonsense is merely buffoonish garbage thrown out there by his book publisher as a “teaser” to try to sell books. Gee, that’s real hard to figure out. Yawn.

I think this was essentially the point Novak made to Colmes (though with considerably less words than the verbose Lancey Howard!)
