Robert Novak has died.
Robert Novak (aka Novakula, aka The Prince of Darkness) succumbed to cancer less than an hour ago.
I disagreed with almost everything he believed, but I've been raised to not speak ill of the recently dead.
Therefore I'll only mention the possibly apocryphal response by Bette Davis on being asked her feelings about the death of Joan Crawford on a talk show (possibly Carson):
"I was raised to believe that one should speak only good of the dead. Joan Crawford is dead.
Good!"
