He had agreed to be questioned about the CIA affair later in the program, good timing to "freak out" and walk off the set.

CNN has suspended him from the air.

Mission accomplished for Novak, if you ask me.

Whenever Serpent Head speaks, I can always change the channel. However, Novak is paid to sit there and listen to him babble incessant liberal garbage ideology all day. This must be excruciating. I know I could not demean myself to perform any such feat for money. Aparently Novak has reached his bull____ limit and couldn't take anymore. I hope Fox hires him.

Yeah, this is no-lose for Novak. The right glorifies him for sticking-it to the Carville/CNN while he remains unanswerable to the Wilson/Plume leak.

I'd have done the same thing if I were him; anyone who's watched Crossfire with any regularity knows the banter between Carville/Begala and Novak got much worse than that.

I doubt it was planned, but it sure was convenient.

"Yeah, this is no-lose for Novak. The right glorifies him for sticking-it to the Carville/CNN while he remains unanswerable to the Wilson/Plume leak."

This might be my flamingly liberal bias speaking here, but I fail to see how what Novak did could possibly be construed as "sticking it" to anyone.

First he said "This is bullshit," then he said "I hate this" and "Let's drop it." Then he threw his lapel mike off and walked off the set.

Is anyone really glorifying him for his tantrum? I'd love to see some links.

lol. We should know by now that if George Bush or Howard Dean said the world was flat, there'd be dozens of bloggers attacking "round-world ideologues" within a couple of days.

I agree that the blogosphere typically isn't credible; but that doesn't change the fact there's lots of right-wingers out there who think CNN is the Commie News Network and thought what Novak did was praiseworthy.

FWIW, my nephew used to work on the set of a political show Novak was on. According to my nephew, who is very conservative, Novak is a major league a-hole.

Coming from a liberal that's not saying much.

Who thinks what he did was praiseworthy? I'm a Republican and I don't think that kind of behavior is acceptable, he allready apoligized.

Sure, Andy doesn't have a conservative nephew who worked on the set with Novak and found him to be a jerk. After all, Novak's nickname is the 'Prince of Darkness' because he is such a sweet man, so how could anyone have a different impression? Andy is just making it up, lying like all liberals do.

Your a piece of work /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That sounds pretty bad, but I guess it's not as bad as being world-class.

I don't see how we can be sure of this. How can we believe anything that you say? You _are_ a conservative, after all.

From conservative blogger Le Shawn Barber's Corner (http://lashawnbarber.com/archives/2005/08/04/bobnovak/) :

"So Bob Novak is suspended from CNN. In some circles, this is an honor. But that’s just me."

From FreeRepublic.com (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1457536/posts) :

"I e-mailed Bob and told him how proud I was of him."

"after e-mailing CNN and Novak directly, praising his behavior...."

There are definitely right-wingers out there who thought what he did was praiseworthy.

He also told me Pat Buchanan was a terrific guy, polite and congenial.

But who knows if what I say is correct . . .

I heard about this before. I can't safely play the video at work but will do so from home later.

WHAT'S UP WITH CONSERVATIVES' PUBLIC OUTBURSTS LATELY?

- Novak says "Bullsh.."
- Cheney says "Go fu.. yourself"
- Bush gives the press the finger (the other day, so I've heard)


I actually think it's kind of funny, and I'm perfectly fine giving them all a pass, but what gives?

At least I'm an 18 year old who is much more mature than some people. I don't have to resort to comments like that. I'm done defending myself on personal attacks and will just respond to posts dealing with the debates, so go ahead and take some free shots if you wish.
