    Odd. This is the second Gawker post within a week that betrays a fundamental confusion about the meaning and presentation of gambling odds. Let's do a trade-off: I'll explain odds to you if you can explain baseball to me. #loudobbs

    If he's a racist, he masks it very well in reality. I met him during a round of golf in NJ (the second meeting) this past summer and he seemed to be very pleasant. He even came back to the clubhouse and had a drink/bite with us. Two things stood out...........I am half Brazilian, half British and my posse was made up entirely of brown people....... his playing partners were all Latino........and he introduced them as members of his family. I was a bit surprised since he often comes across as being very offensive when it comes to matters of immigration on air. Then again, he was drinking liquor mixed with tap water from the armpit of the United States... so that could account for his behavior. #loudobbs

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: true.....however, when he initially saw me, I was just walking along the bushes looking for my balls (golf) so he could have gone with the illegal Mexican course maintenance worker assumption. I forgot to mention.......he does indeed have a yellowish tint to his skin tone, even in the shadows of trees but I still think that is most likely from the NJ tap. #loudobbs

    He's going to put his money where he mouth is and go to work slaughtering beef in Nebraska, just to prove they're not taking jobs Americans don't want and won't do. It's a step down, but no hardship for this man of principles and integrity. #loudobbs

    Let us all join in posthumously slaying the messenger!

    The Bob Novaks and William F. Buckeys of the world are just representatives of something far more evil than they -- or any single person -- could ever be. Don't give him too much credit. Unlike his brain tumor, Novak was a symptom of the disease, not the cause. At the end of it, he died an old man who devoted his life to being good at shmoozing the right people and sniffing the right thrones inside the Beltway. (They say doing that for too long can cause cancer.)

    I keep reading on some conservative and liberal Web sites that he was the "last, great journalists."

    I'd like those people to say that to the face of Christiane Amanpour, Bob Woodward, and hundreds of anonymous local reporters who are trying their damnedest to be great journalists.

    Journalism is dead, long live better journalism.

    Robert Novak was a sour man. He had a fixation on three-piece suits and capital gains tax cuts. Novak often spat when he talked. He must have been thoroughly unpleasant company if you did not agree with him philosophically. These factors made him ripe for satire. Robert Novak looked and acted like a Dickensian villain come to life.

    I'm a liberal Democrat, but I always liked that Novak didn't hide the fact, it was all bullshit. Throughout his television career, he had his talking points in order, he'd deliver his lines and then go home.

    Perhaps a lot of what he said infuriated me, but you could tell that he didn't necessarily believe, half of what he said; I've always kind of respected that.

    @Magister: I kinda see what you're saying. But the problem is, he helped usher in an era of TV in which **everyone** talking about politics talks like that. We're way worse off as a result, no?

    @The Tipping Pint: I don't really have much of a problem with the old "point/counterpoint" kind of discussions. At the end of the day, you kind of got the idea that nobody really believed everything they were saying, the participants would sometimes go out for a drink afterwards and there was plenty of evidence of them socializing at the same functions.

    Personally, what I think has been more "damaging" to our political discourse are the "all-knowing" folks; Those who think they're smarter than everyone else and all other opinions be damned.
