[TheWebHead]

OMG

send your complaints here:
http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5.html?6

We can use this to get Novak off the air!

[QuettaKid]

1. deetails for the cube rats!!?!?! nt.

.

[tishaLA]

2. I couldn't believe it!

I didn't understand what Carville said that pissed him off so much though. Did anyone catch it?

[me b zola]

26. LMFAO

Carville said about novakula, " he's gotta show he's right, that he has a backbone" That is a rough quote.


Ha!!!! Frickin novakula can't stand the heat!!!!!!


:rofl:

[LiviaOlivia]

51. here's the exchange via thinkprogress.org

http://thinkprogress.org/2005/08/04/breaking-novak-explodes-live-on-cnn/
Breaking: Novak Explodes Live on CNN

Just now on CNN’s Inside Politics:

Novak: Just let me finish what I’m going to say James, please I know you hate to hear me —

Carville: You got to show these right-wingers that he’s got a back bone, ya know? Wall Street Journal editorial page is watching. Show them you’re tough.

Novak: I think it’s bullshit. And I hate that. Just let it go.

Novak removes his microphone and walks off the set.

[DanCa]

144. ROFLMAO - Thanks guys I was having a dreadful day until this.

[Broken_Hero]

156. oh my...

I just got done reading the transcript and Carville didnt seem to say anything bad enough to warrant a bullshit call, its funny, i still can't believe this old fart said it, ihoep he gets fined nice and good, and i hope he frys over the Plame affair. Moron.

[BootinUp]

3. heeheehee. I wanna see a video! n/t

[Changenow]

96. here it is

http://mediamatters.org/items/200508040004

This is live, the comment about his leaving prior to Plame questions must have come after the break.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

110. lol! Was Novak drunk? He looked that way to me, and he seemed to

be slurring a little.

[slutticus]

131. OMG...He was slurring!

I think he was wasted!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

136. Someone just started a thread questioning what he had to drink! n/t

[BronxBoy]

150. OMG

He was F**kd up!!!!

:rofl:

[lancdem]

4. Was he asked about Plame?

[tishaLA]

20. No they were talking about Katherine Harris

and republicon "outsiders". Carville wanted to get in a word because Novak was filibustering....and Carville started talking while Novak was. I don't know what Carville said, but Novak said, "Well, I think that's bullshit" and got up,m took off his mic, and walked off the set.

It was VERY uncomfortable.

[TahitiNut]

97. Novak ALWAYS filibusters.

He proclaims himself above interruption and interrupts others CONSTANTLY. On Crossfire, he'd ring his little porter bell to interrupt others. He's an arrogant, lying, corrupt sociopath - a match for the White House scum.

[Buns_of_Fire]

151. I like to think of it as "demagoging"

...Since that seems to be his favorite word (I remember him using it a lot on "Crossfire"), it gives me great pleasure to toss it right back in his face! :p

This is great. Nofacts loses it (live), Sanctimonium loses it (live), now if someone will only drop a bee down Commander Codpiece's undies while he's live on TV, I'll be happy for the rest of the week.

More pressure! They need more pressure!

[TahitiNut]

160. Yep. I want to see and hear Smirk drop the f-bomb, live and in color.

I want to see him melt down and show his true character - the scum sucker he truly is. It'd brighten the cloudiest day - hell, I'd get a tan from it with 100% cloud cover.

[yodermon]

169. whoah..

where did Santorum lose it, live? any video?

[notadmblnd]

38. no, the guy said he was going to be asked about the leak investigation

so I imagine the slimey fuck had to feign outrage about something Carvell said so he could walk out before they got to the Plame investigation.

[krkaufman]

147. That's what I was thinking, too. Feigned outrage... real retreat. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Fill us in..what caused that?

[TheWebHead]

12. I was only half paying attention

until I heard him say bullshit... that sparked my ears. So I don't know.

[Uncle Joe]

30. Maybe Cheney told him to go f**k him self after

Bush showed him his flesh colored pencil and that was the straw that broke the camel's back.:toast:

[spuddonna]

6. WHAT????

Details! Please!! :)

[City Lights]

7. pleasepleaseplease, details!! eom

[XNASA]

8. The only thing that come out of that guy's mouth is .....

Bullshit.

But, I'm glad to hear he walked off.

[Cha]

73. How Ironic...

that nofacts actually said "Bullshit" as he exited stage right.

What a fitting end to all those Bullshit years.

[evil eggplant]

9. we could use a few details here, please (nt)

[Jacobin]

10. He a cranky old traitor, isn't he?

He looks just like the creepy preacher on Poltergeist.

[Kikosexy2]

11. Are his ...

knickers in a knot over Rovegate again? Dumb ass should just come clean and tell all the sordid ugly details...then we can all kick his ass.

[Moochy]

13. Empty chair

I see his empty chair, but not the empty suit.. :)

[pimpbot]

16. Someone who has a tivo or DVR, PLEASE POST THIS!!!

[buff2]

14. They shouldn't let that traitor on the air anyway

He is as arrogant as his Lord and Master Bu$h.

[Tesla]

18. Arrogant is not the word for him....

I don't think they have one for him!!!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. DAMN!! on edit! ON RANDI NOW!!

The things you miss... please C&L, media matters, have this!!

Thanks for the heads up TheWebHead!!

[formerrepuke]

He said what? OMG! The children! Someone call the FCC!

We can't have this kind of indecency on television!

[City Lights]

17. Jon Stewart should have fun with this one.

The douche bag of liberty storms off the set after swearing!

[LSparkle]

35. You read my mind: "Douchebag of Liberty!!!"

Can't wait to see TDS!

[AndyP]

80. I'll get in trouble for this

but it's all in the sig :)

[neuvocat]

91. Hello FCC?

"Yes I'd like to report someone for using obscene language in describing a highly qualified journalist who is very respectable and has fine integrity, is very handsome and...no I'm not with the Concerned Women for America. Why do you ask?"

<click>

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. rhandi is covering it too

she only haerd the bullshit

[LisaM]

21. Are they going to fine him?

What show is this?

[Enraged_Ape]

27. I don't think the FCC goes after cable

It happened on CNN.

[me b zola]

37. inside politics

Boy I hope it's captured!!

[jane_pippin]

23. randi has the audio on now nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. great audio

[jane_pippin]

33. I want to hear it again. I want it on a loop on CNN for the next 36 hours

[Just Me]

49. I heard it, too!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

:rofl:

Carville made some reference to editorials serving the right-wing and Novak thundered, "Bullshit" and left!!!

:rofl:

[Mr.Green93]

24. Pressure is getting to him

We have them on the run

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. I saw that - ha-ha-ha!

They were talking about Katherine Harris and her complaint that her photos had been photoshopped, showing her to be wearing too much eye shadow. Novak said his own photo had been messed with by a certain unnamed newspaper. I thought he was joking with Carville. Carville asked him to elaborate. Then Carville began talking over him and Novak wanted to say something. I sometimes have trouble making out what Novak says, as he blusters and harumphs his way through some of his rants. Suddenly, Novak said "that's bullshit", stood up, and took off his microphone, leaving the set. Carville and the host looked halfway between stunned and amused. I didn't quite get exactly what provoked the scene that Novak made, but the host just said that he was about to ask Novak about the CIA leak before Novak left.

[LisaM]

50. So he ran out just before they asked him about the CIA?

Interesting.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

54. The host mentioned that after Novak left

that he would have asked him about the CIA leak, had Novak stuck around.

[AllyCat]

124. NoFacts was not answering the question and Carville decided to

tease him. Poor little boy getting picked on by the big mean librul bully! :nopity:

Now they know how we feel every freakin' day we turn on the corpomedia and see them siding with BushCo and refusing to tell the truth. Then they give lots of airtime to people calling us pinko commies and end their reports.

Congrats, Bob! You just gave yourself a dose of the medicine.

What a whiner.

****Hmmm... on further review of the Crooks and Liars vid, I edit my post to say that Carville was maybe doing damage control. He tried to bolster Nelson, but then when NoFacts started to talk about Harris, CNN had video coverage of her, but not of Nelson. The Librul press at work.

NoFacts also made some stupid comment/whine about how the press doctored his make-up too. At first I thought he was kidding, but he was totally serious. Anyway, the more I watch it, the more I think Bob was mad because he didn't get to finish his long-winded plug for Harris and thought it was mean of Carville to tease him. Being a complete idiot, he could not come up with anything wise to say to Carville and when the host went to the next question, he got mad and left.

[Endangered Specie]

29. - $250,000 from CNN bank account

dont those dumbasses have that thing radio stations use to jump ahead 10 seconds to keep a curse word from airing?

[TheWebHead]

31. Drudge must have seen it

BOB NOVAK WALKS OFF CNN 'THS IS BULL'*HIT'... DEVELOPING...

[DistressedAmerican]

32. Anolther Request For Details...

[TheWebHead]

36. dunno, they were talking about Harris' makeup

then a few moments later all hell broke loose.

Jacki Schechner just referred to it by saying "we know exactly what bloggers will be talking about a few minutes from now."

[Moochy]

43. They know what the bloggers will be talking about

On their blog segment:
Inside the blogs.. the woman who is hosting the segment said (paraphrasing) we know what everyone will be blogging about, but we want first talk about this issue about anonymous posters.

[Beetwasher]

34. APPARENTLY HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DISCUSS PLAME

Ah Ha! He got out before they could ask him about Plame!

[Tesla]

40. I heard someone say "let it go"

They must have restrained Carville.

[me b zola]

52. no, no

Novakula says "let it go" to the journalist/interviewer guy. It was like Novakula really meant for him to attack Carville. When the interviewer then continued on and asked Carville a question, that is when novak stormed off.

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

41. How CONVEEEEEEENIENT!

[KeepItReal]

45. Somebody whispered in his ear "GET OUT OF THERE!!!"

ha ha

[Bethany Rockafella]

39. okay which thread to post on?

There's about ten of them. I guess I choose this one?

[The Witch]

44. This one is on the front page already

too bad, I made all my smart remarks on the others. The main gist of which was--- I really wanna see this exchange on Great Moments in Punditry as read by children!

[grytpype]

42. Good, maybe they will fire his traitorous ass now.

He should be sleeping under a bridge and drinking Listerine out of a paper bag.

[displacedtexan]

149. That's the best description of Novakula ever!

Sleeping under a bridge and drinking Listerine out of a paper bag!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[MikeNY]

46. Ok who has Tivo? lol n/t

[smbolisnch]

161. Holy shit....

that was priceless.
I don't know how they kept straight faces after that.

[devilgrrl]

53. Novak can dish it out but he can't take it.

Typical rightwing asshole

[deadparrot]

55. I guess the stress re: Plame is getting to him...

:D

[Tsiyu]

56. Earth to Novak

You're a slimy coward. Just go home and rot, please.

[progressoid]

57. Ahh - that's hiiiilarious!

Poor Douchebag can't handle what he dishes out.

I think we're going to see a radical change in politics and punditry in the next few months!

[Bethany Rockafella]

58. Maybe he got a lot of heat about his recent article using Gannon?

[deadparrot]

59. Freeper thread here!

64. choice freeper post

:rofl:

heres a freeper question:
Q:Why does Novak subject himself to the humiliation there.

Um cuz he works there genius...

[Bumblebee]

72. Wow -- reading this is like total Ying and Yang

they are cheering Novak and also cannot wait for the video -- in their case, on Drudge. Then they say -- what are you doing, watching CNN? like we say, What are you doing watching FOX? I usually have no stomach to read them but this is mightily amusing. They cannot way for Hume to run it; we cannot wait for Jon Stewart to run it.

[Moochy]

76. future quote from Brit Hume

"You know when I first heard about this, I must admit my first instinct was to buy bovine fertilizer futures. How can I make money off this?"

I agree it is like an alternate universe over there.

Up is down, hot is cold, right is wrong, no wonder they are so happy, the world is going to hell in a hand basket, so naturally they must be living in nirvana.

[Bumblebee]

133. Yup. Uncanny.

[rodeodance]

74. one of them is making novak out to be a victim (being interruped by

Carville)---

[jane_pippin]

81. check it out:

"Carville was Clinton's Karl Rove and he makes Karl Rove look like Santa Claus."


Says one of them.

Riiiiight.

:rofl:

[Syncronaut Seven]

158. A quote "Good to see Bob has had his fill of Clintoon News Network."

WJC has a news network? who knew? At least they're consistant in their (dis)respect of a duly elected (twice) US president.

Perhaps we should show the same respect for their boy. 20 Ohio national guard dead in 24 hours, will the Gov attend the funerals? we know our current CiC will be absent, he's got brush to clear.

DAMN YOU CLENIS, AND ALL YOUR DARK POWERS!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[Shredr]

60. Done!

[Carrion]

62. Can't Wait

For Jon Stewart to get a hold of this! He should be able to milk Novak's teats for a week on this one!

[Endangered Specie]

63. Air america just aired the audio clip

(bleeped the word of course)

OMG thats classis :rofl: and its just audio!

[Midlodemocrat]

65. I just contacted the FCC.

Emailed and phoned all the top brass demanding that they reprimand him and CNN.


This is gonna be Hugh!!!!


And yes, I know that FCC regulations don't apply because it is cable, but I think they should call him on it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

67. No it is not, you did, I did, but far more people are just going

but, but this is cable and but, but I don't want the FCC involved

[Endangered Specie]

69. I hope you mentioned "the children"

I mean, if seeing a nipple is brain damaging, imagine how bad seeing a grown man curse out and walk off the stage in a temper tantrum will be... Oh the Humanity


:sarcasm:

[Midlodemocrat]

75. And what about the kittens?

Who will think of the kittens? Hearing such vulgarity and seeing such angst.

I don't know if it will do any good, but dammit, I am so tired of the right and its hypocrisy. Shrub flips off a group of reporters when he is governor, his comments about the NYTimes reporter to Cheney, Cheney and the F bomb and this. It makes me sick.

But, remember * did restore honesty and integrity to the WH, or so my rethug friends tell me.

:eyes:

[Moochy]

Baby Pandas too

Novak made the Baby Panda cry. :cry:

[tishaLA]

84. And it was only the size of a stick of butter!

His bad words might make the butter melt!

[Enraged_Ape]

86. Ah, yes, we must think of the kittens! (Graphic photo)

[Midlodemocrat]

101. LOL. I love that graphic.

[MikeNY]

82. Just explain to your child that...

"This is what liars do when they're confronted with the truth in public" lol

[napi21]

77. I just checked crooks and liars. Video not there yet, BUT

I tried to link to the MP3 about Santorum losing it on Leherer, and I got a message that I didn't have authorization to view it.

I looked for some way to sign up, and didn't find any. What do I need to do to see the videos there?

[jane_pippin]

68. Thanks for posting that link!

Just emailed them to tell them I'm appalled at this behavior and I'm calling the FCC.

:rofl:

[tishaLA]

79. I told them about my daughter seeing it

And having her innocence stolen from her by Mr. Novak's potty mouth. I said they HAVE to fire him and that I was contacting th FCC.

Too bad I don't have a daughter. But if I did, I know I'd have to protect her from Novakula now. Especially his teeth.

[jane_pippin]

88. I told them I was simply outraged

at the filth that's allowed to be put on television these days and that conservatives and CNN should be ashamed to have a man like Novak represent them.

(I'm not *actually* contacting the FCC-they don't do cable. But if cnn thinks I'm going to that's fine with me)

Way to think of the children in yours.

[LeftNYC]

83. This has to be a stunt...

Novak knew he was going to be asked about the leak and he stormed off. Sorry for being rude, but NoFacts is a lying pussy. Can dish it out Bobby, but you cant take it?

[jane_pippin]

92. "Can dish it out Bobby, but you cant take it?"

Exactamundo.

[Jersey Devil]

71. LOL, Randy says Novak kicked a trash can on the way out

This is way too funny!

[readmylips]

85. Kicked trash can with bad foot, I hope.....

yes...down with traitor Novak.

[LeftNYC]

98. No wonder they blame TV violence for our society...

maybe it was my email that got him going...hahah!

78. I just asked for his resignation!

Boy, it feels good to watch the criminal squirm!

[9thkvius]

87. According to the partial transcript at Think Progress...

he was going to be asked about Valerie Plame.

So did he use this little spat as an excuse to walk off the set before anyone could ask him about that?

He's an asshole. He's a journalist like Paris Hilton is an actress.

[ihaveaquestion]

89. *** Carville was razzing him and he couldn't take it ***

I thought I heard Carville say

"he (Novak) has to show the Republicans that he has a spine"

or something to that effect. I guess Novak just couldn't take it. What a wimp! Did anyone else hear this?

Edit: just watched the video on mediamatters - I think this is pretty close.....

Carville: (pointing at Novak) "He's gotta show these right-wingers that he's got back-bone. <garbled> show em you're tough."

Novak: "I think that's bull$hit..."

[DoveTurnedHawk]

109. Wall Street Journal Editorial Board

"He's gotta show these right-wingers that he's got backbone, you know, it's like the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board is watchin' you, show 'em you're tough."

That's what I heard. I love it! Carville rocks!

95. hehe, they cant take it.

revisionist history?

[yellerpup]

112. Yeah, "like a dear in the headlights"...

What idiots!

[powergirl]

113. Do the Freeps routinely pull threads that they know the DUers mock?

Do they have some type of detection device that can tell when smart people are looking at their website??? They are such losers. I think it finally dawned on them that Novak looked stupid, and gives fuel to the traitorous allegations against him. :tinfoilhat:

[OXM]

Honestly, is nothing safe anymore from the profanities of the Republican operatives??

[charlie]

94. 10 years ago Novak made Shields lose it

He was prattling on and on about the dread Gay Agenda when Shields exploded, pounding the desk and bellowing BULLSHIT, THAT'S BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT!! Novak just beamed, he was so tickled.

Good to hear Carville got some payback from the toad.

[Rosco T.]

102. FCC Fine! $500,000! Start the complaints!!

For the children...

[ihaveaquestion]

108. No complaints please! Don't start the FCC looking at Cable!

Think of Comedy Central - the Daily Show and Reno 911!

[DistressedAmerican]

103. Complaint Filed! Eat Him Alive!

[Dukkha]

104. My email to CNN

Robert Novak's immature antics on today's show were inexcusable. His behavior undermines the journalistic integrity of CNN and is a disgrace to the network and journalism itself. I expect an apology at the minimum but I'd prefer his immediate termination from CNN. It's time the network utilize a level-headed, articulate, and respectful conservative to properly offer an intellectual debate. We don't need the voice the the extreme far right form a man who committed a treasonous act to further his own political agenda.

[julialnyc]

105. Ha ha two postings from freepers

(I had to peek at free republic)


-I concur with Outraged. The host of Inside Politics and Carville were having a "lovefest", not allowing Novak to answer the questions without interruption and Novak walked out with a look of disgust.

The host tried to cover it up after the commercial saying it was sort of "planned" because he had told Bob he was going to ask him about the CIA leak. If that was the case, Bob would have left during the commercial break.

CNN has a bit of egg on it's face.


- Well that certainly ought to improve CNN's ratings. There's nothing like seeing someone stand up to liberal bullies. It might even get some of us to tune in.... nahhhhh! I'll wait for the video clip on the web.

[powergirl]

116. OK - THOSE FREEPS ARE ON DRUGS ARE JUST PLAIN STUPID

I am amazed how the Freeps can make every humiliating incident against them seem so "positive." It's like the scene in "Pee Wee Herman's Adventure" movie where Pee Wee waxes it on his bike and falls off and flies through the air finally landing in a yard while people watched. Pee Wee got up and said "I meant to do that." I think that is how the Freepers work - whatever a neocon, even if stupid, was "meant to happen." UGH!:freak:

[julialnyc]

166. Great analogy

I know you are but what am I? I know you are but what am I? I know you are but what am I, I know you are but what am I?

[AValdoux]

106. my complaint..

Do you still considered Novack a journalist, an asset to your network? He is a partisan hack without a unique thought in his head. Oh, no, he just had an original one, yelled it and walked off.

Felt good, thanks for the quick link.

AValdoux

111. GREAT! Thanks For The Link! Sure Crooks and Liars Are Busy!

[wicket]

129. triple kick

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[metrodorus]

114. The interaction was incomprehensible to me...

I watched it at Media Matters (http://mediamatters.org), where's it's posted under "Pressure Getting to Novak?."

I have no idea what upset Novak. It was weird. Perhaps it was staged to avoid inquiries about Plame. I dunno. Carville struck me as saying nothing overly offensive.

[Bumblebee]

121. sounded to me like he was upset by the suggestion

that he has to show his backbone for the WSJ editorial page

[jobycom]

130. He was looking for a fight to avoid the later questions about Plame

I wouldn't say it was staged, but he was scared and looking for a way out, and when he snapped at Carville (I think it was Carville--I heard it on Rhodes, I didn't see it), he decided to escalate it as an excuse to walk.

That's my take. Novak, bless his heart, is scared, and he's melting down. I don't find any glee in it. Neither do I feel much sympathy, though.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

146. Earlier I thought Novak was trying to pick a fight

My memory of the CNN segment is fading now but I seem to recall they were talking about Bush's judge of character, with Carville making fun of Bush having said that Putin was a good man (meaning he's no judge of character). Novak responded about someone else having also thought Carville was a good man (meaning he wasn't). That seemed a bit harsh to me unless Novak was joking. That happened a couple of minutes before the prima donna left in a fit of pique.

[AValdoux]

118. Daily Show Guest Tonight...

...is Miles O'Brien from CNN.hahahahahahah


Avaldoux

[OXM]

137. I think we'll have to wait 'till Monday

The show is filmed at 4pm (I think).

[redacted]

119. Just saw the MediaMatters video. Novak's career is FINISHED.

The video is quite stunning. Nobody is going to work with Novak again after this. What producer would now take the risk of hiring him?

Carville was just teasing him a little and this is Novak's response? Besides, what Carville said IS absolutely true--every editorial page in the country IS paying close attention to what Novak says and does. That's a fact. Why did Novak consider that to be such an offensive remark? Looks like he just cracked up.

[rlev1223]

120. My letter to CNN --- positive!!

Hearing Novak's bullshit is usually funny enough, but hearing him say "bullshit" was hilarious! More of this, please!

(That should be worth at least a 250,000 personal fine, per the new standards.)

[cal04]

122. Pics from Crooks and Liars

[rodeodance]

123. ok, i just watched the video--did not seem unusual to me--infact-the

conversation was rather lame. Yes, carville is jokenly make a crack at Novak--but geech--what a babe.

127. probably an excuse to leave because he knew the question was

coming about the Plame case
Host Ed Henry ended segment by telling viewers he had told Novak in advance he would ask him about the CIA leak case

[yorkiemommie1]

138. that's what i think

he took the first opportunity that would give him a chance to duck out.

what looks like outrage on his part is actually cowardly sneaking away from the question he knew was coming and was not willing to answer.

[Desertrose]

139. Yup...an excuse to leave before *the question* he doesn't wanna answer n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

126. I thought that's what he said

It's time to go home old man.

I hope you endorse stem cell research, because I think you are headed down the path of Ronnie Reagan.

[southpaw]

128. He just needed an excuse

to bolt like a sasquatch!

He was forewarned that he would be asked about the CIA leak case, and he couldn't risk hanging around for it. To leave during the commercial break (as the freepers suggested) would have been obvious.

"He's fleeing the interview..."

[slutticus]

135. Exactly. What kind of behavior do you expect from a coward?

[Jara sang]

132. My email to CNN:

I was digusted to hear Robert Novak use the word "bu@#sh*t" on a live television broadcast. My children were in the room as I was watching this show and commented on the "bad word" that the man on television had said. This is inexcusable. I hope that Mr Novak is fired immediately. That kind of language can not be tolerated by good Christian citizens of the United States. I will NEVER watch CNN or any other CNN affiliated station until he is fired. I am instructing my family, friends and my church group to do the same.

All total bullshit, except for the disgusted with Robert Novak part. Hope they can take it as well as they dish it out.:rofl:

[nadinbrzezinski]

143. I also contacted comisioner Copps at the FCC

He is a dem... and time we fight back

[Daphne08]

134. I wonder what Howard Stern will say.

:rofl:

[ronnykmarshall]

140. Poor Bobby!

Must be getting nervous about something.

[mdmc]

141. lookit my post!

It is very sad when a good conservative turns out to be a foul mouthed traitor. We all work so hard to further the President's beautiful vision of a better America, and then, BAM! One of our own uses classified info to leak to the media to increase his ratings! This traitor should remember whose side he is on. National security is far more important that his ratings. A little civility is worth more than his ratings.
Bullshiite is unamerican!

[ronnykmarshall]

154. How long is that gonna last?

Good job however.

[mdmc]

170. freepin it up

[Renew Deal]

145. That's too funny.

What an ass. :rofl: That was a cop out to get out of discussing Plame.

[in_cog_ni_to]

148. He was told prior to going on that he would be asked about the Plame case

and I think he was just looking for an excuse, ANY EXCUSE to walk out so he didn't have to be confronted.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Fucking weasel! He can dish it out, but he sure as hell can't take it! Waaaaaaaaaaah!

[Broken_Hero]

152. Ha, thanks for the link...

If he cant' take the heat, he shoouldn't be on the air, what a moron, i hope the FCC gets him....

[Broken_Hero]

153. thanks, email sent....

[brettdale]

155. The freepers call Novak Brillant

Over at the freeperville, The freepers have call Novak Brillant, they sare saying its a plan to take away the medias attention from other things.

Apprently Brit Hume from faux is talking about it now

[lonestarnot]

157. 100K Fine to CNN for profanity used on air! Pass it on to

Novakula!

[CTyankee]

159. DRUNK as usual

I've watched this guy off and on for 20 years. He ALWAYS looked half in the bag to me!

[McCamy Taylor]

162. He had to get drunk to fulfill his role as CNN media treason-freak..

...and the liquor took over.

[Ksec]

163. Novak is unstable and disturbed

I wouldnt be surprised if he pulled a postal employee shooting spree on CNN live. This dude is whacked out and very unstable. He needs to be admitted to an asylum.

[Ms. K]

164. Probably somewhat impolite of me....

And I haven't seen the video links yet (apparently it and my computer are having issues....bastard computer).

However, I read the transcript, and thought to myself, "What a fucking wanker. He's trying to save face so he doesn't have to admit to knowing anything about the Plame case."

And then I read the rest of the replies, and giggled because apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks he's a fucking wanker.

Suspended indefinitely...that's a nice way of saying, "He's fired, but we're getting our shit together to do it so he can't sue us."

[MadisonProgressive]

165. My complaint:

Robert Novak was drunk and he said BULLSHIT on the AIR!!

He is also a criminal for exposing Valerie Plame. If you don't fire his ass you have PERMANENTLY lost a otherwise loyal viewer!

[symbolman]

167. Takebackthemedia.com filed Assault charges on Novak Jan 27th Here's Video

Here's the Scoop:

Takebackthemedia.com & Friends filed Assault charges on Novak Jan 27th Here's Video

Takebackthemedia.com was in New Hampshire covering the Primaries and we were involved when Novak assaulted a man there

******************************

Wow. He's lost it again - just saw the footage on CNN and we at Takebackthemedia.com are NOT surprised. Novak has actually ATTACKED people before and then Lied about what happened to the Washington Post - We know, we were THERE when it happened, I actually caught Brad Carr, the man who was assaulted by Novak.


Watch the video here: http://web.takebackthemedia.com/geeklog/public_html/staticpages/index.php?page=20050805004552146


Here's what we posted back in January 2004 about the assault.


***********************************


A Take Back the Media SCOOP - Novak savagely attacks onlooker at New Hampshire Primaries.


From Takebackthemedia.com on January 27th, 2004 --


CNN has created massive coverage of the New Hampshire Primaries - bringing with them on their gaudy Election 2004 bus a host of their news anchors, including one Robert Novak - who is most well known for his obfuscating on CROSSFIRE.


Remember Robert Novak? He's the source of the Valerie Plame CIA outing in the media and has never been called to task for what appears to be a rather substantial breaking of Federal LAW.


As of this date, for nearly 100 days no one in this administration has wanted to touch this - for apparently someone high in the Bush administration has to have passed this information along to Novak, and whoever did that may be culpable legally as well.


It looks like there is some movement in that direction - a Grand Jury is being empaneled for this purpose. To me if looks like Novak is screwed either way. If he tells WHO gave him that information - he has no credibility - if he DOESN'T talk, he may be jailed. He may be jailed anyway - as I understand it (and I am not a lawyer) this is a CRIME.


So it would make sense that Novak is worried - perhaps to the point of losing his cool or his mind - which he did on January 27 outside of the Merrick Restaurant at about 5:15 pm. I was there, I saw it - I even caught the guy that Novak attacked.


I can't get the image out of my mind. Novak looked like a little caged animal - fist locked and *censored*ed back, he wasn't through with his victim before getting hustled off and onto the bus.


How did we get to this moment?

[julialnyc]

168. did you see the daily show?

he played novak saying bullshit (2 times)..... no bleeps.............and then said that was bull....BLEEP!
