Speaking Ill Of The Dead

Conservative pundit and noted American traitor Robert Novak has died. The man who outed Valerie Plame, and who claimed on CNN that death squads in El Salvador were "a liberal myth," has finally shuffled off this mortal coil. If there were any justice in this world, he would have died in prison after being convicted of treason for the Plame outing. I didn't like the son of a bitch when he was alive, and I am not going to feign sympathy or compassion for him now that he's dead. When it comes to public figures dying -- especially those who through their words and/or deeds, were responsible for harm coming to this country and to our society -- I tend to follow the Hunter S. Thompson model.

So I do not mourn Mr. Novak's passing, but rather lift a glass and darkly toast the death of the treasonous bastard. Good riddance.
