Novak praises Pelosi, says Bush and staff "irrelevant"
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2007/Novak_Pelosis_first_100_hours_success_0124.html

Veteran political analyst Robert Novak says in his latest report that Speaker Pelosi's first 100 hours in power were "a success beyond all anticipation," while the Bush administration is seen lately as being "irrelevant and out of touch."

The conservative commentator writes, "The 'hundred hours' program of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has been a success beyond all anticipation. The passage of poll-approved measures came with a unanimous Democratic vote and heavy -- in some cases majority -- Republican support."

Pelosi's performance "shows the error and futility of Republican expectations that Pelosi as speaker would fall on her face," although Novak notes that "they still hope that she will fail now that the set pieces of the 'hundred hours' have been completed."

Novak has decidedly different thoughts on the Bush administration and the Grand Old Party, saying, "Republicans are divided and disorganized. Senior Republicans in Congress refer to President George W. Bush and his staff as irrelevant and out of touch. Younger conservative members are going their own way, feeling that neither the White House nor the party's congressional leadership shows the way for the GOP."-snip-

2. Maybe it's true ...

Bush really will be the uniter.

He'll unite the sane and the insane against him.

3. Took this guy "freakin' FOREVER" to see which way the winds were blowing
and now that it's definite as to be undeniable, he's going with the tide. Lamer.

Let's not forget his ties to "the Plame Affair". Don't 'love' this guy. He'll turn around and stab you in the back quicker than you can yell, 'Momma'.

9. Lawrence O'Donnell was everywhere (radio/tv) bashing
Pelosi and saying she made a big tactical mistake announcing the 100 hour plan. He is supposed to be a Dem. Has anyone seen his apology for being an ass-hat?

10. Novak?!?!?!? Oh, wait - the Libby trial started today.
Sorry, I used to believe that "people could see the light and change", but the last 6 years have made me very cynical.

Still, since November a lot of "conservatives" seem to have changed their tune. Frankly, this makes me distrust them more - if their opinions and "convictions" can be changed so easily.........

"Easy come, easy go,
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter
To me..."

13. So has he admitted that he's a complete idiot?
When he used to appear on CNN, he was one of the snippy little lap dogs of ChimpCo and thought it could do no wrong.
