The Prince of Darkness Is dead: Robert Novak to interview Lucifer?

By David Rothman

image image Washington columnist Robert Novak has died. No e-book or Net angle exists here—beyond Novak’s importance to the old media elite—but I can’t help writing about him.

Novak, ever the curmudgeon, loved the nickname that a Newsweek reporter gave him—“The Prince of Darkness,” which he said reflected his pessimism about civilization. Others interpreted it differently, saying Novak pandered to the powerful and helped destroy Valerie Plame’s usefulness as a CIA agent. Will we soon learn of an exclusive Novak interview with Lucifer?

Facetiously or not, Novak once griped that that the sight of homeless people on TV ruined his Thanksgiving dinners. Read the full details via the New York Times, Washington Post and—Novak would probably hate this link—Google News. Wikipedia has already updated the Novak entry to include news of the death.

(Moved down below the Google item—since this is a bit offtopic.)
