Robert Novak freaks out live on CNN

[bdk3clash]

Did anyone see this? Hilarious. I'll try to find a link.

Crooks and Liars has a page with video in various formats.

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.

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.
