Sayonara Boris!

cool rants
So it finally happened. Robert Novak mouthed off during a live debate on CNN and walked off the set.
CNN was mortified by his obvious disregard for the viewing public and the reputation of that of the newstation and put him on suspension. Hallelujah!
This guy has been nothing more than pain in the backside of viewers for years. Crossfire was always interesting, but when he was on, it made your blood boil. During a debate with James Carville (hosted by Ed Henry), a few words were exchanged that let's just say, made Novak quite angry. Carville took some pot shots while discussing Novaks views on the GOP candidacy of Katherine Harris, teasing him about his leftist ways and asking him to prove that he had a backbone. Novak was outraged and instead of coming back at him with an equally compelling remark, he called it "bullshit" and promptly walked off the set. This, from a man that continues to refuse commentary for his involvement in outing the name of CIA officer Valerie Plame in his newspaper column. In the meantime, respected NY Times journalist Judith Miller has been jailed for months now for her lack of cooperation in the investigation in refusing to give up her sources. Novak should be probed, and deeply for his involvement. Come to think of it, maybe some time in the big house would help to that end.... ;-)
