Novak Meltdown

Robert Novak yelled "That's bullshit!" and stormed (well, shuffled, actually) off CNN's set during a live discussion with CNN contributor James Carville on the "Strategy Session" segment of the August 4 edition of CNN's Inside Politics. Novak had been told in advance that he would be asked about the Plame case. Apparently the pressure got to him. See video here.

CNN reacted quickly by suspending him indefinitely, calling his behavior "inexcusable and unacceptable".

I'm just here celebrating this tantalizing turn of events.
