On C-SPAN's Washington Journal, right-wing columnist Robert Novak discussed his television viewing habits (top video to the right). After saying that he doesn't watch the Chris Matthew's show, he attacked Jon Stewart:

“Somebody mentioned the Jon Stewart program, I’ve never seen that in my life and I will go to my grave never having seen it…. I don’t see any reason for it. It’s a comedian, self-righteous comedian taking on airs of grandeur and I really don’t need that.”

Why would Novak go after Jon Stewart?

Probably because Novak has been the target of many of Stewart's jokes. Here we take a look back at some of the Daily Show's Novak clips:

The second clip in this post features Stewart awarding Novak the "Congressional Medal of Douchebag."

The third video features a Daily Show segment on Novak's televised meltdown on CNN.

And the fourth video features Stewart's famous appearance on Crossfire. Novak was a regular on the show before it was cancelled. Many believe that this segment was the final nail in the show's coffin.

Check'em out and pass'em on.
