Bob Novak stormed off the set of CNN's Inside Politics today after a few choice curse words. Apparently James Carville gaving him a little mean-spirited ribbing, and he said "I think that's bullshit" and took off.

Here's the story run in MediaMatters

CNN contributor and syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak stormed off CNN's set after using vulgar language during a live discussion with CNN contributor James Carville on the "Strategy Session" segment of the August 4 edition of CNN's Inside Politics.

While discussing Rep. Katherine Harris's (R-FL) plan to run for a Senate seat against Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), Novak told Carville, "Just let me finish what I'm going to say, James, please. I know you hate to hear me." Carville said to host Ed Henry, describing Novak: "He's gotta show these right-wingers that he's got backbone, you know. The Wall Street Journal editorial page is watching you. Show 'em you're tough."

Novak responded: "Well, I think that's bullshit, and I hate that." He then said to Henry, "Just let it go." As Henry asked Carville a question, Novak walked off the set.

After the segment ended, Henry apologized to viewers for Novak's leaving the set "a little early," adding: "I had told him in advance that we were going to ask him about the CIA leak case. He was not here for me to be able to ask him about that. Hopefully, we'll be able to ask him about that in the future."


Response

Once again, the conservative side proves they can't take the heat. Novak wussed out on the whole Rove thing and he wussed out on this. Everyone knows Carville can be rough and biting. But Novak has certainly shown he's quite capable of that as well. He's even capable of breaking the law and exposing undercover CIA operatives. He needs to quit kissing Republican ass and be his own man. I don't mind if he's a conservative so much as him being nothing but a mouthpiece for the administration. It's absolutely ridiculous.
