Novak tells Cargile "I think that's bullshit!" and walks off the CNN set

[TahitiNut]

Novak was filibustering a question on the Plame leak and Cargile poking fun at him (not quite sotto voce). Novak angrily said "I think that's bullshit! Just let it go!" He then stood up angrily and stalked off the set, removing his wire.

It just happened, live and in color.

It was a beautiful thing to see. Cargile and the talking head (on so-called "Strategy Session") are ignoring it.

1. pressure getting to him perhaps?

lets hope he explodes. literally.

[comsymp]

2. Ahh, so it WAS Plame-related

Four or five threads already, and this is the first one with any real info.

Knew we could count on you, T-nut!

[TahitiNut]

6. Yes, the talking head commented at the end ....

... that he'd discussed it with Novak beforehand and warned Novak he'd be bringing up the Plame case. He characterized it as "Bob Novak left a little early."

Yeah. Right. :rofl:

[HEyHEY]

3. Just let it og people! Screw this I'm stalking away...

Best. typos. ever!

[TahitiNut]

11. At least that typo shows I use both hands.

:silly: :dunce: I almost always type 'og' when I think 'go' -- it must be my inner cavechild.

[HEyHEY]

14. Considering Novak is such a Troglodyte

It took me a second to realize they were typos

[Endangered Specie]

4. I hope this gets posted on the internets soon!

I have no cable (I killed it)

[JaneGat]

5. Hope it is replayed on KO tonight.

That is something I would have loved to see.

[TahitiNut]

7. Novak was apoplectic ... hardly able to walk a straight line.

Schadenfreude!!!

[leftchick]

10. Schadenfreude!!! Indeed!

I LOVE when it happens to smarmy repukes like novak!!!

:rofl:

wait, I think all repukes are smarmy! :evilgrin:

[Halliburton]

8. hopefully Crooks and Liars will have the video

I gotta see this.

[ronzo]

9. I bet you can count on it. n/t

[AFSCME girl]

12. Damn, I missed it!

Hopefully I can catch a replay somewhere!!

[proud patriot]

13. Randi's playing the sound over and over

calling novack a traitor and a potty mouth

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. It wasn't about the Plame leak, it was about Katherine Harris running

against Bill Nelson in Fla.

[TahitiNut]

16. I'm betting he was running from the upcoming question.

The reporter/MC/TH said that he'd notified Novak beforehand that he'd bring up the Rove/Plame 'issue' ... and I think Novak's departure was, in some part, motivated by avoidance. Typical neocoWardice.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. I didn't know that. And as to Novak, yes, he is a weasely coward.

Do you think CNN is going to get rid of him now? I sincerely hope so.
