NEW YORK -- CNN suspended commentator Robert Novak indefinitely after he swore and walked off the set Thursday during a debate with Democratic operative James Carville.
The live exchange during CNN's "Inside Politics" came during a discussion of Florida's Senate campaign. CNN correspondent Ed Henry noted when it was over that he had been about to ask Novak about his role in the investigation of the leak of a CIA officer's identity.
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.
A telephone message at Novak's office was not immediately returned Thursday.

Novak. CNN.
Are they still around???
Who knew.
I e-mailed Bob and told him how proud I was of him.
after e-mailing CNN and Noval directly, praising his behavior, we reveice this reply:
'Thank you for your email to us concerning Bob Novak.
Mr. Novak's behavior on CNN during Thursday's broadcast of Inside Politics was inexcusable and unacceptable. Mr. Novak has apologized to CNN, and CNN apologizes to its viewers for his language and actions. CNN has asked Mr. Novak to take some time off'
Of course, another round of e-mails replies have to go out...see how long they keep sending the same self-serving, autobot e-m out....
BTW, you get the same treatment from Ted Kennedy's office - no matter what you send, you get the same drivel back that you sent to the protest about -
Now that they tossed their only conservative, I'm sure their ratings will go through the roof!
This is the first time in 5 years I have heard of Crossfire doing anything.
When he said, "This is bull****" I assumed he was just doing a station identification.
A RINO showing cojones??? Who would have thunk it?
Would have been sweeter if he told the serpent to meet him off camera
First time I have seen Carville's bald head for a long time (on Drudge). Don't watch CNN any more - Carville "Rajin Cajin" act isn't worth my time.
Gosh, now this will be part of his permanent record!!
Why is the Post trying to make this a Valerie Plame story when its just another story about has-been Carville's boorish behavior?
LOL
LOL, thanks...I have been trying to post a photo since yesterday of the 'Hills have eyes' guy. Don't know how to do it...didn't work.
How can anyone (much less a republican), wake up to that?
Might be because Crossfire isn't on anymore.;)
I think CNN has a slew of other things it could stand to apologize on first.
Like he cares! LOL
Carville should be in a circus with offal being thrown at him!
LOL!!!
