Novak Walks Off Live CNN Program
Robert D. Novak, the syndicated columnist whose unmasking of a C.I.A. operative
touched off an investigation about a possible leak, stalked off a live
appearance on CNN yesterday afternoon after James Carville, the Democratic
strategist, accused him of trying to make a particular point "to show these
right wingers" that he had "backbone" and was "tough."..........
The
moderator of the program, Ed Henry, later said on the air that he had warned Mr.
Novak that he planned to ask him "about the C.I.A. leak case."
"Hopefully,
we'll be able to ask him about that in the future," Mr. Henry said.
That
opportunity may not arrive soon. About two hours later, a spokeswoman for CNN,
Laurie Goldberg, released a statement saying that the network had "asked Mr.
Novak to take some time off." Asked later in a telephone interview whether Mr.
Novak was being suspended from his work at the Cable News Network, Ms. Goldberg
said, "We're characterizing it as a mutual decision."...........
bye bye blackbird (NO offense to the blackbirds and ravens out there - well i am one of them, i am the morrighan after all)
.....Asked last night in a telephone interview why he thought Mr. Novak had
acted as he did, Mr. Carville said, "Bob's probably got a lot going on in his
life."........
yeah, one of which ought to be thoughts of serving hard time for treason the giant gatsu piedi
