'Time Off' For Novak After 'Bullshit'

CNN's not happy about the bullshit Bob Novak just pulled:

"Bob Novak's behavior on CNN today was inexcusable and unacceptable. Mr. Novak has apologized to CNN, and CNN apologizes to its viewers for his language and actions. We've asked Mr. Novak to take some time off," a CNN spokeswoman told us.

> 7:17 PM UPDATE: A reader points out: "CNN may feel apologetic, but they're still featuring the video with a prominent link on their home page. And no apology in evidence there":

Unbelievable! It's featured on the home page! http://www.cnn.com

Novak walks off set (:27)

1. Permanent time off?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

2. nah-just a nice way of saying:

firing him is pointless. his jail time will kick in before his leave of absence expires anyway

3. im smiling

[bluestateguy]

4. I bet you he doesn't come back

At most he may be downgraded to "CNN Contributor" who makes occasional appearances, but I doubt even that. And I don't think Fox News would even touch him right now.

5. Carville was hilarious. He said something to the effect of "Show 'em your

tough Bob." LOL. Gotta love Carville.

10. Novak just ate the rest of his contract

I'm sure that CNN won't shed any tears over this, he just saved them a bunch of money. What a fool.

[Pithy Cherub]

11. Shouldn't Novakula apologize to CNN, and CNN's viewers,

AND Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson, & The American Public. Just sayin'.:shrug:

Joe Wilson is laughin' his ass off somewhere today...:evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

12. The best thing for all concerned

especially me. :)

I was surprised CNN kept him on to begin with, but sure there's the "innocent until proven guilty" thing. Still, the minute his credibility was tarnished (not here obviously, but out there) I'd have thought they'd have sacked him.

Whatever. There's always another RW shill to take his place. They breed like mosquitos.

Here's to a long jail sentence for him. :toast:

13. rat bastard for liberty should be rotting in jail. what if carville had

released a CIA agent's name? he would have been hung in front of the white house and rightly so.

[senseandsensibility]

14. ah, Nofacts, the perpetual victim.....

This too is someone else's fault, so he doesn't have to do the apologizing. Big baby loser.:cry:

[Vickers]

15. This is the snowflake that will soon be an avalanche

Mark my words!

[gratuitous]

16. The douchebag for liberty gets hung up on the shower curtain rod

So long, Robert Novak. I hope your cellmate is kindly.
