There is a God ! CNN Suspends Robert Novak
The entire story is here:

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8830305/


NEW YORK - Robert Novak, whose revelation of a CIA officer’s name in a 2003 column has sparked a federal probe, was suspended by CNN after he swore and walked off the set during a live telecast of “Inside Politics.”

CNN correspondent Ed Henry said afterward that he had been about to ask Novak about his role in the investigation of the leak of Valerie Plame’s identity, which Novak has repeatedly refused to comment on aside from some references in his column.

2. I love how Ed Henry takes a bite after he smells blood in the water...
Somehow, I doubt he was really going too do this. After all, if he was, why didn't he do it when Rove's name was all over the news a couple weeks ago?

4. Republicans will kill and eat their young.
It goes along with their social darwinist core philosophies. I would love to see it happen.

5. I got the standard reply from CNN
"We receive so many emails that we can not possibly answer them all, blah, blah, blah." But then I actually got a personal email and they say they've asked him to take some time off. I guess I can tell my prayer group to start watching CNN again. Hail Satan! :silly:

6. I have a great idea for Novak: Mandatory counseling at the CNN EAP
"Employee Assistance Programs" are in place at all major corporations. Basically, you get 3-5 counseling sessions for free and then a referral out if you need it for further therapy or psychiatric evaluation/medication. When companies have a problem employee, they often make EAP participation part of the 'rehabilitation' process. It could be for attendance issues, drunk at work, excessive anger problems, anything that is of a 'quasi mental health' nature. It's actually quite civilized. Bests getting summarily fired. Once they're at the EAP, the recommendation would be made and the employee gives the EAP permission to indicate to the employer the level of cooperation (usually not details of subsequent treatment).

Well, Bob, get your ass to the EAP and do some "anger management," find out what "your issues" are, get a good referral for psychiatric evaluation and medications. You'll be a new man.

9. LOL. That's so funny. How about some expressive therapy like
Robert DiNero did in "Analyze This" -- in the hotel room, with the pillows on the couch. Or maybe like Beavis & Butthead when they had group therapy with foam bats. The permutations are endless. Maybe Bob needs some serios Rolfling or a therapeutic wilderness program in...yeah, Utah. He could be "excorted" there to make sure he cooperates. Be a great book...

10. Maybe Shock Therapy would be in order.
Of course, they would have to hire a Proctologist to insert the probe.

8. No EAP psycho-therapy for the Traitor.....
He'll have a legitimate excuse to escape his crime....No. Let the traitor face his crime. Send him to Guantanamo along with little Judy Miller.
