No-balls Novak goes nookuler on air, now a non-person at news network
My jaw just about hit the floor last night when sneering, dyspeptic traitor Boob Novak snarled "that's bullshit" and stormed off the set on CNN.

For a second I was like, what, did his colostomy bag spring a leak? Carville putting a trash can over his head a while back was more professional than this. It wasn't until the end of the segment that we got an explanation, as it were: the cranky, traitorous windbag had turned chickenshit and ran.

Ed Henry, host of CNN's Inside Politics: "And I'm sorry as well that Bob Novak obviously left the set a little early. 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."

I'd pay to see that.

Frothing, choleric old crank 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 taping 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 the columnist has repeatedly refused to comment on.

A CNN spokeswoman, Edie Emery, called Novak's behavior "inexcusable and unacceptable." Novak apologized to CNN, and CNN was apologizing to viewers, she said.

"We've asked Mr. Novak to take some time off," she said.

You can come back when you've stopped acting like a traitorous little baby having a temper-tantrum and not before!
