If CNN's standards and practices mean anything, they have to fire Novak. At the same time, this will hurt them and they deserve it for hiring a creep like Carville.

[11th_VA]

That's Carville on the left, with the funny hat ...

[Bush gal in LA]

Well if CNN has suspended Novak indefinitely for swearing on the air. Shouldn't the hypocrites suspend themselves indefinitely . Like forever? Wasn't it a news director of CNN that said horrible things at the end of the DemocRATS national convention? Remember the last day at the end of Lurch's'' reporting for duty ''speech when all the balloons were supposed to come down and didn't? I believe it was a CNN director that started cursing up a storm. ''Where are the f-----g balloons etc!

Quit scaring me, Sky.

Yikes, was Novak the moderator? If so did Carville have to carry the last 15 minutes alone.

Hope they put up the transcript.

[AliVeritas]

How can they do that? Wasn't he on as a guest?

[pepperhead]

CNN has suspended Novak for the utterance of the word.. Bullsh*t.

Any word on if they suspended that woman that said BS during that Lou Dobbs segment a few weeks ago. LOL

[BunnySlippers]

Yow! That photo!

[Brilliant]

My previous impression of Novak was that he's an idiot. After seeing this, my impression is that he's a useful idiot. He really made CNN look bad.

Here it is with its favorite rapist.

"It puts the lotion on its skin, or it gets the hose again. Isn't that right Precious...we're going to get the hose!"

[BunnySlippers]

And didn't Bono use the F word?

[Lysandru]

Frankly, Car-VILE should thank his stars that dueling is out of fashion (and illegal) in our present age.

I have been waiting for someone to thrash is ass on air--literally.

In fact, does anyone remember him shilling for some 1-800 information service a couple of years ago? I vowed to NEVER to use it because they hired his slimy tuchis to speak for them.

[IronMan04]

Novak was slurring his words right before his BS Bomb. He just might have had a few too many adult beverages while at lunch.

[pepperhead]

And didn't Bono use the F word?

Not sure, I don't watch CNN. But in Bono's case I don't think he is employed by CNN.

[Brilliant]

He always does that.

CNN probably thought that they were making a principled decision by suspending him. What they did was further cement their image as a liberal network.

[plain talk]

bumbling appologist

Well he's not bumbling. An appologist for what?

[konaice]

Novak is the closest thing to a conservative cnn has,

You mean to tell me Tucker Carlson ISN'T a conservative???
/shock
/horror
/sarcasm
/smirk

[BunnySlippers]

Who is the person on the far right? He appeared to be the moderator. It looked like two lefties skewing a right winger.

Also, it did not look like Novak was planning to blow up and leave in advance (as in his did not want to answer Plame questions) as the moderator strongly suggested.

Also, CNN refers to the "bloggers" talking about this. Do they know what a blog is? We post on the internet ... but are not bloggers.

[FlingWingFlyer]

CNN is going down faster than the DNC. The losers on the Left are having a difficult time trying to get a grip. When you are elated about coming in second in a two person House race, you know you are in trouble. Coming in second is like kissing your sister.
