Novak Criticized Carville For Foul Mouth, Said He Was “Poisoning America"

[Goldmund]

CNN’s Crossfire, 7/11/02, during a discussion about whether a woman who cursed at a police officer should have been arrested:

NOVAK: Mr. Walczak, you…probably don’t have much experience with foul mouths. But I can understand what the cops go through, because I have to deal with Begala and Carville. And I’d like you to listen to a little — just a little small selection of what I have to put up with. Would you listen?

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BEGALA: We’re going to kick a little right-wing ass.

JAMES CARVILLE, CO-HOST, CROSSFIRE: When these sons of bitches just knocked down two of our buildings.

BEGALA: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) fired my ass at MSNBC.

CARVILLE: If there is a completely neutral person, I don’t want to know the son of a bitch.

BEGALA: Bush is going to sign a strong Democratic bill, and that makes you look like a schmuck, doesn’t it?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

NOVAK: Isn’t that the decline of values in language that is… that is poisoning America?

6. convenient morality.

[SoFlaJet]

2. yea the hits just keep coming

from the hypocrites.The other day I heard on Franken(from Stern from his TV show)Limbaugh talking about addicts...the ultimate irony

[ewagner]

3. Couple of points need to be made

First, the obvious hypocrisy of the Repubs in general and Novak in particular is astounding.

Second, the RW spin on this on the Imus Show this morning was astounding...get this....

Imus and his Nazis criticised CARVILLE for not confronting Novak on his walking out....said it made CARVILLE a hypocrite for jabbing Novak about not having a spine and then not confronting him for walking out...proving that it was really Carville who didn't have a spine...



jeeeesh....lame spin....lame, lame, lame spin.....

13. That's like blaming the rain for not doing something about the clouds

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. Novak and his ilk are all hypocrites.

"Go Fuck Yourself"......Vice President of The United States, Cheney. :eyes: Don't give me that "decline of values in language" BULLSHIT! We know what they do and say when they think noone is listening/watching.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. Yes and.......................

Gov. George "That guy's a major league asshole" bush** At least Begala and Carville didn't leak the name of an Undercover CIA agent who was working on terrorism.

[Misunderestimator]

5. It's always the way with hypocrites! Good find.

:rofl:

[Brewman_Jax]

7. Selective outrage

I'm sure that he'd have little to say about the programming by a certain network, say...the Fox Network group? :eyes:

[xxqqqzme]

8. what a sanctimonious, dried up, bitter,

old harpy. How does it feel 2 B used as a doormat then thrown out w/ the trash? Isn't he the epitome of what is wrong w/ corporate media that is poisoning America?

[blm]

10. And where's clip of Novak defending Cheney's obscenity on Senate floor?

And defending Bush for his cursing?

[Dudley_DUright]

11. I don't see the word "bullshit" in any of these quotes

I guess BS is OK then. :eyes:

[MissMarple]

12. So, I'm guessing Novak wasn't suspended for the "off color" language.

He was getting just a bit to hot to keep around. Uh oh...

14. One thing you can't hide, is when you're crippled inside

Bane to the right wing, John Lennon said it best with "Crippled Inside"

You can shine your shoes and wear a suit
You can comb your hair and look quite cute
You can hide your face behind a smile
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
You can wear a mask and paint your face
You can call yourself the human race
You can wear a collar and a tie
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside

Well now you know that your
Cat has nine lives
Nine lives to itself
But you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun
Mamma take a look outside

You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside

Well now you know that your
Cat has nine lives
Nine lives to itself
But you only got one
And a dog's life ain't fun
Mamma take a look outside

You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside

One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
One thing you can't hide
Is when you're crippled inside
