    Slip on soap, fall on a shiv…

    Several weeks late, but CNN finally did the right thing!! His bluster is finally shut down for awhile!


  3. Scott says:

    About time. They should’ve canned him a long time ago just for being a hack. I’m not going to get too excited over it though, as there is certainly a long line of windbags ready to rubber-stamp their approval on idiotic policies. Of course, this was probably just an excuse for him to avoid answering questions about that little national security breach, and I expect to see a press release saying he was prepared to tell everyone the truth but that the evil liberal CNN wouldn’t let him speak because he was too conservative. Chalk up some martyr points for those poor oppressed repukes.

    may it be permanent.


  5. Christopher says:

    Well, it sure as hell took them long enough.

    Isn’t it interesting: carrying out a treasonous act didn’t resonate with CNN executives, but a curse word did.

    They sure have their priorities right.

    . . .


  6. Phil says:

    Maybe this is what he wanted. Now he can no longer be put on the spot or slip up. Instead of declining or sidestepping questions, which looks bad, he can play victim and shut up. He will look better if things get worse.

    Robert Novak wants out. He’ll feel better tomorrow. He’ll sleep good tonight.

    I wouldn’t want to be associated with the Bush Cabal nor the Republican Party this late in the game. It is over.

    It is more vicarious misdirected anger. He is really angry with the Bushits.

    I’d take a trip to Banff and forget about it all.

    These are tough days for America. Time for the Republicans to move on. They have got to go.

    Robert Novak can say anything that is on his mind.

    He thinks its all bullshit. He’s right.


  8. Skid says:

    And yes, Jon Stewart LOVES it!!


  9. Chairman Mau Mau says:

    It is all bullshit! Novak is finally getting it! he’s found God! And God is bullshit!

    What’s crap is a lying hack like Novak commiting an act of treason along with those other amateur political hacks who tookover the whitehouse with a coup d’etat because they’re skilled or talented enough to win it honestly! They’re all scum!


  11. Marie says:

    Novak’s departure not a day too soon — in fact it’s long overdue. The scumbag traitor, giving up government secrets for political gain and the puffing of his own feathers. He should go join turd blossom in Crawford where the biggest sh–head in the country is vacationing.


  12. Marie says:

    Jon Stewarts’ Comedy Central was hilarious.


  13. mudkitty says:

    Several decades late, but they finally did the right thing.


  14. Lisa says:

    I’m sure we’ll soon see Novak w/his own show on Fox. After all, isn’t that where he truly belongs – with all the other BushCo hacks who just spew the party line? Wonder what Rush/Hannity/O’Reilly/Coulter/Savage/Graham/etc.. had to say about this? I’m sure they’re coming to his defense hook, line & sinker. After all, I’m sure it will ultimately be blamed on Carville for provoking him to say it – god knows repugnicans never accept responsibility for ANYTHING these days. For that matter, did they ever??


  15. Paulette says:

    Doesn’t any one else think that he or CNN orchestrated this to take Novak off the front lines? It looks all too contrived. CNN can exhale now that they’ve found the obvious excuse to pull him. He has damaged CNN’s credibility but they couldn’t just fire him. It was a set-up.


  16. Tim O says:

    Has anyone filed a complaint to the FCC yet! I was completely offended by the foul language used by Mr. Novak on a news program! My children have lost their innocence!


  17. Alexander Williams says:
