Novak Apologizes for Swearing on CNN Air

By David Bauder / Associated Press


NEW YORK - Robert Novak apologized Friday for swearing on the air and walking off a CNN set, but said it had nothing to do with the federal probe sparked by his revelation of a CIA officer's name in a 2003 column.

"I apologize for my conduct and I'm sorry I did it," he said in an interview.

CNN has pulled him off the air indefinitely. Novak said "I'll follow their guidance" on when he returns.

CNN correspondent Ed Henry said afterward that he had been about to ask Novak about his role in the investigation of the leak of Valerie Plame's identity, which Novak has repeatedly refused to comment on aside from some references in his column.

"That had nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing," Novak said. "I was sorry he said that."

The incident occurred Thursday as Novak and Democratic operative James Carville were handicapping the Senate candidacy of former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris. Novak said the opposition of the Republican establishment in Florida might not be fatal for her.

"Let me just finish, James, please," Novak continued. "I know you hate to hear me, but you have to."

Carville, addressing the camera, said: "He's got to show these right wingers that he's got a backbone, you know. It's why The Wall Street Journal editorial page is watching you. Show 'em that you're tough."

"Well, I think that's bull---- and I hate that," Novak replied. "Just let it go."

As moderator Henry stepped in to ask Carville a question, Novak walked off the set.

A CNN spokeswoman, Edie Emery, called Novak's behavior "inexcusable and unacceptable." She said "we've asked Mr. Novak to take some time off," she said.

Only two weeks ago, CNN executives defended their decision to keep Novak on the air during the investigation into the leak. Novak identified Plame in July 2003 as the wife of Bush administration critic and former U.S. ambassador Joseph Wilson.

In his syndicated column Monday, Novak provided some details after having been largely silent about his role. He did not dispute that a former CIA spokesman, Bill Harlow, told him he should not print Plame's name during conversations they had before the column was published.

But Novak reasserted that no CIA official ever told him in advance "that Valerie Plame Wilson's disclosure would endanger her or anybody else."

Wilson has said the leak of his wife's name was an attempt by the administration to discredit him. Two other reporters connected to the case openly fought the revelation of their sources, and Judith Miller of The New York Times has been jailed for refusing to cooperate with prosecutors.

Henry said Thursday that Novak had been told before the "Inside Politics" segment that he was going to be asked on air about the CIA case.

"I'm hoping that we will be able to ask him about that in the future," Henry said.

Novak has been a longtime contributor to CNN, taking the conservative point of view during the just-canceled "Crossfire" show.

I was thinking more along the lines of Bruce Almight. KidRock's right, that isn't exactly an explosion.

Yes..that would have been an "explosion".

While we're being pretentious assholes, the occurance in Bruce Almighty was combustion, not explosion.

Wel you this thread seems to be aboot this incident, which doesn't seem strange at all.....much more I think that statements like "He's got to show these right wingers that he's got a backbone, you know. It's why The Wall Street Journal editorial page is watching you. Show 'em that you're tough." have nothing to so in serious debates......

I dont know the guy, and I don't even know what exactly is the problem with him, but if you want to discuss what his opinions rather than this incident well maybe you should open a thread that discusses what aboot that.....

Your thread focused on his so-called explosion, not anything else. We are discussing said so-called explosion.

i see avoidance of the point is the tool of the right.

Actually, that would be you trolling for calling people "dumbasses" when they point out that what happened in the video was hardly an "explosion" of any sort.

no backfire, pointing out a bad thread title is not the act of a dumbass.

filling the thread with:

-he wasnt exploding

-absolutely he didnt explode

-didnt seem like he exploded to me

-i agree. no way was that an explosion.

-nope, no explosion there

thats just a dumbass convention

Thos three were the only ones saying something aboot the lack of explosion......(and point of this thread by the way)

If you want to talk aboot what he has done go ahead...but taking some pointless and silly occurence doesn't really make any sense....(exxagerated or not)

pointless and silly? you obviously never looked into the circumstances behind the topic and just viewed it as a "funniest home videos" clip. what a waste
ill just leave it as news and request a closure of this thread.

Yes as I said, I couldn't read anything aboot the "circustances behind" cause you just posted the "funniest home video" .....but its ok....call us dumbasses for not agreeing with you........any way you turn it it wasn't really misbehaviour.....

i posted the link to the article, but i guess its such hard work to *click* it, so why not just carry on and spam? and you would actually have to read whats behind it to agree or disagree. you're just making useless comments on trivial matters such as a thread title, and you know it.
thats why i called you dumbasses. because you're purposely trying to be just that

So agreeing with what's correct is the act of a dumbass? No. Poor deduction and logic on your part. If you don't like people pointing out a falsity in a misinformative title, then don't falsely advertise anymore, simple as that.



That's what the title of the thread insinuates that it is.

And now I'll go ahead and close this thread.
