The End of Novak

I think Bob Novak ended his TV career today, at least for CNN. Apparently the soon-to-be-defunct “Inside Politics” afternoon show had a segment involving Novak and James Carville (a way to continue the “cancelled” Crossfire) in which they planned to ask him about his role in the Niger/CIA outing affair, which would break the silence on CNN on this subject. When he attempted to bulldoze Carville over a Katharine Harris question, the Cajun needled him about “looking tough for the right wing” and “the Wall Street Journal Editorial Page is watching.” Novak lost it. here is a link to the video, or if you have Quicktime 7 (Mac users), you can see it here.

UPDATE: Maybe this, published Thursday morning, was eating at him too.
