The Stars Aligned Against GOP In 2008

Bob Novak on being ‘The Prince of Darkness’

“All the stars are aligned against the Republicans in 2008,” Bob Novak told the assembled masses at the Americans for Tax Reform’s Wednesday meeting, causing a subtle gasp to leak out of the conservative faithful.

“You’re breaking our rule on being cheerful, Bob,” ATR’s Grover Norquist responded.

“Well, I am the Prince of Darkness,” Novak said, jokingly.

And Novak is embracing his nickname: His latest book, due out in July, is titled, “The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years of Reporting in Washington.”

Novak also weighed in on several potential ’08 candidates:

Al Gore: “He likes being rich ... he likes being an Oscar-winner and I think he likes being fat, too.”

John McCain, at the recent GOP debate in California: “He didn’t look like a winner.”

Mitt Romney: In response to Romney’s performance at the recent GOP debate, Novak said some people told him that Romney “almost looked too perfect.”

Fred Thompson: Novak said that, apparently, people believe that Thompson “did such a good job as the district attorney of New York City that he deserves a chance to be president.”
