Did you just see Novak say "I think that's bullsh*t, and walk off the set!

[flpoljunkie]

The camera even pulled back to show it.

They were talking about Katherine Harris' chances in Florida. Novak did not like it when Carville interrupted him. Novak was saying don't be so sure that Harris can't win in Florida. Carville had just said the Nelson people must be real happy to hear that Bense was not running.

CNN Suspends Novak After He Walks Off Set
By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer 17 minutes ago
NEW YORK - CNN suspended commentator Robert Novak indefinitely after he swore and walked off the set Thursday during a debate with Democratic operative James Carville.

The exchange during CNN's "Inside Edition" came during a discussion of Florida's Senate campaign. But CNN correspondent Ed Henry noted when it was through that he had been about to ask Novak about his role in the investigation of the leak of a CIA officer's identity.

A CNN spokeswoman, Edie Emery, called Novak's behavior "inexcusable and unacceptable." Novak has apologized to CNN, and CNN apologizes to viewers, she said.

"We've asked Mr. Novak to take some time off," she said.

A telephone message at Novak's office was not immediately returned Thursday.

Carville and Novak were both trying to speak while they were handicapping the GOP candidacy of Katherine Harris. Novak said the opposition of the Republican establishment in Florida might not be fatal for her.

3. Bullshit Got Through?

Novak's cracking...

[flpoljunkie]

Yep!

Ed Heny just apologized that he was not able to ask Novak about the CIA leak investigation, but I did not hear if made any excuse for Novak's earlier behavior.

I don't think he did.

[Kikosexy2]

4. Well..

that's just B*llSh*t!..I'm walking off now...hehehheehehehe!

[rodeodance]

9. cnn just said they had told him earlier that they would ask about leak

case. Then they apologized for novok having to leave early. Silly.

[KingFlorez]

5. Darn, I missed it!

I had CNN on earlier, but changed the channel

[Tesla]

7. Man, the one time I shoud have watched CNN!!!

I hope Jon Stewart saw this!!!

[displacedtexan]

6. Novak claimed that papers had colorized him, too, and Carville...

said...

"Which ones?"

And Novak couldn't name any.

Just like K. Harris.

Check out my blog post (below the burning Bush) on Katherine Harris' makeup?

[ChiciB1]

13. Told Ya...

She looks just like a WITCH!!

And if you've ever seen her in person, WELL.... it's even WORSE!!

Blue eye-shadow and all!!

[rodeodance]

17. Novak have a temper tamturm.. te he.

[kenny blankenship]

24. Bourbon is what colorized him

newspapers do him a favor by blanching his jaundice out due to their primitive color process.

[ChiciB1]

8. Don't Know What Show You're Talking About...

BUT I am very interested in what they had to say about Katherine Harris!

She's currently my representative, and it sickens me to think I might have to look at her ugly "bitchy-witchy" face as a Senator!!!

Cruella, Cruella... go to HELLA!!!

[flpoljunkie]

20. CNN's Inside Politics, today hosted by Ed Henry, my favorite of the bunch.

[deadparrot]

Damn, four threads within a couple seconds...

too bad I missed it. Sounds entertaining.

Daily Show moment in the near future, perhaps? :D

[terrya]

10. Does this mean that we'll never see his ugly face on televison again?

One can hope...

[Reciprocity]

22. We want but I bet Faux viewers will. n/t

[Botany]

12. What did Novak say .....

..... "Don't Plame Me."


How many people are dead because he outed Plame, her front comapny,
and there by her contacts? Little Shit needs a beat down.

[nosmokes]

14. it was great!

but why is nofacts on any news organization's payroll?

[rodeodance]

16. see this thread also--

15. Novak is losing it in a big way . . .

Seemed staged on his part

Wonder how that played in the heartland?

[rrrevolution]

19. Ahhh ... Reason Novak Stormed Off is Did Not Want to Answer Q about Plame

Seemed staged regarding the topic being discussed,
He obviously did not want to be asked about the Plame leak and used this as a convenient out.

Ok with me, rather hear Carville all the time anyway than share time with Novak.

[LSparkle]

25. Why doesn't someone give Carville a show?

I've always thought I could watch him by himself for half an hour at least.

[rrrevolution]

29. 2nd Motion to Give Carville His Own Show

Agree

[Raiden]

31. I third it! I really like James Carville

n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

21. Can we fill complaints with the FCC for the use of profanity on the air?

[Nikki Stone 1]

28. Sure you can at fcc.gov---It will be a switch from the Dobson organization

that is responsible for 99% of the complaints. It actually wake a few people up over there. :)

[DoctorMyEyes]

23. I saw it!

He had a hissy fit. Pulled off his microphone and walked off the set. Carville looked shocked that Novak walked off, he lost his ability to speak for a second. I wonder if the FCC will have an investigation and fine puffy traitor for using a naughty word! What's the maximum fine? 200K? I can't remember what Colon Powell Jr. set it at. Oooops! I said a naughty word... I said "Colon"... actually I typed it. I hope DU doesn't fine me 200K!!! I didn't mean it... I meant to say intestine. Sorrrrrrryyyyyy!

"He said a naughty word! He said a naughty word!!"
Marty Feldman in "Young Frankenstien"

[Enraged_Ape]

26. If I were Novak, I wouldn't be acting depressed right now

The Bush Crime Family has a way of...well, exploiting that.

[blondeatlast]

38. "exploiting"... so that's what they call it nowadays...

I'm sooo out of the loop!

[rrrevolution]

27. May He Got Some Bad News Today ....

Like there may be a sealed indictment with his name on it!!

[displacedtexan]

30. I think he's pissed to be "answering" questions...

instead of "asking" them.

[DoctorMyEyes]

32. Carville accused him...

...of trying to look tough for his right wing buddies after Novak objected to a Carville interruption and was in the middle of chiding Carville for not letting him finish his thought.

It did look contrived. These guys interrrupt each other all the time. How many years did Novak do crossfire? He ought to be used to it by now, he didn't have to lose it like that. That little satanic Ooompa Loompa has a TEMPER!

[glitch]

33. Bet Novak thought he was among friends, what with Carville being married

to Matalin, member of WHIG, the group that marketed the WMD lies and targeted Wilson.
Probably thought he'd be thrown softballs, but now he knows... he's just another patsy.

Edit: now that I hear exactly what he freaked over I think it's the implication that he needs a backbone, in other words, "we all know you squealed" no wonder he ran.

[Cha]

34. How very unprofessional

of that traitor novak.

Little weenie.

[ChiciB1]

35. I STILL Want To Know About

K.Harris's chances!! Any info here??? It's very important to me what was said. I NEVER watch CNN anymore!!!

[flpoljunkie]

37. Carville said Nelson's people must befeeling pretty that Bense not in race

Bense is currently the speaker of the Florida House.

The conventional wisdom is that having Harris as Nelson's opponent will really get out the vote--the Democratic vote, that is.

[rniel]

36. I expect to see as much outrage over this

As Janet Jackson's breast during the superbowl......


NOT!!!
