Bob Novak Curses, Storms Off CNN Set

Thursday August 4, 2005
Bob Novak lost it during a debate with James Carville on CNN. In the midst of a discussion about Katherine Harris's Senate prospects, the following exchange took place:

Novak: Just let me finish what I’m going to say, James, please. I know you hate to hear me —

Carville: He's got to show these right-wingers that he's got a back bone, ya know? Wall Street Journal editorial page is watching. You show 'em you're tough…

Novak: You know I think that’s bullshit. And I hate that. Just let it go.

Novak then pulled off his mike and stormed off the set, prompting CNN to suspend him indefinitely.
