Novak Takes His Ball and Goes Home

Do you ever watch CNN's Crossfire? I don't. It's actually a pretty boring show and it's usually only watched by traveling political types in their hotel rooms while they're waiting for room service to bring their $23 bottle of champagne and the 19 year old Asian hooker to arrive. I did wish I had watched it the other day however, when syndicated columnist and actual authentic treasonist (sorry Ann Coulter) Bob Novak blew his top.

Bob flipped out when serpent-headed James Carville - who really is an ass and has nothing to do with representing true progressives because he's simply an obnoxious, media-head bulldog - challenged him about his Republican spine. Then, as if he were doing his best imitation of my 8-year-old cousin when she's told she can't stay past 7pm at Heather's house, Novak cursed, got up, and left. In the middle of the interview. On live TV. Nice work, Bob.

The only conclusion I can come to about this hilarious incident is this: Bob Novak must have forgotten his Republican Family values pledge momentarily. While not as offensive to the conservatives as a female breast or scrolling names of fallen soldiers in Iraq as a tribute on Nightline, cursing on live tv is certainly against the Republican oath to keep everything as close to 1952 as possible.

In fact, even though conservatives may not care about Bob's article outing a covert CIA agent, the type of groups who monitor the level of gayness on the SpongeBob Squarepants show might have been a little upset about Novak's PG13 outburst.

CNN's decision? They suspended Bob for a bit while he cools down. Because after all, last thing this nation needs right now is guys like Bob endangering national secur....cursing on cable news.

And what does Novak have to say about such foul language? Let's see what he had to say in 2002 on crossfire:

NOVAK: Mr. Walczak, you…probably don’t have much experience with foul mouths. But I can understand what the cops go through, because I have to deal with Begala and Carville. And I’d like you to listen to a little — just a little small selection of what I have to put up with. Would you listen?

BEGALA: We’re going to kick a little right-wing ass.
JAMES CARVILLE, CO-HOST, CROSSFIRE: When these sons of bitches just knocked down two of our buildings.
BEGALA: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) fired my ass at MSNBC.
CARVILLE: If there is a completely neutral person, I don’t want to know the son of a bitch.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
NOVAK: Isn’t that the decline of values in language that is… that is poisoning America?

Bob - I couldn't agree more. You Asshole.
