Hume and Novak together at last!

'Crossfire' co-host Novak exits CNN for Fox News

Robert Novak, whose syndicated column sparked the CIA leak case and who stormed off a CNN set earlier this year, will join Fox News Channel as a contributor.
Novak, 74, and the network mutually decided not to renew his contract the ends December 31. Fox News Channel confirmed Friday that he would be a contributor to the network beginning in January.
Once one of the most recognizable faces at CNN and one of the few conservative voices there, Novak had fallen out of favor with CNN brass in recent years with his style and the pundit-debate format of shows like "Crossfire" and "The Capital Gang," which he executive produced.
Novak bore the brunt of a sustained assault by "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart, who had been turned off by Novak's still-undetermined role in the Valerie Plame-CIA leak case that led to the jailing of New York Times reporter Judith Miller and the indictment of administration aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. But he wasn't there when Stewart appeared on "Crossfire" and accused the show of "hurting America."
The show was later canceled, as was "Capital Gang." But Novak's departure from CNN was stormy nonetheless. He had been off the air since early August, when he walked off a CNN set during a live interview after uttering an obscenity. He served a suspension and apologized but never returned to CNN.
In an interview Friday morning before CNN made the announcement official, Novak said that he didn't want to stay although he didn't think CNN wanted him.
"It was a mutual agreement," Novak said.
Bullshit.
He said that neither the Valerie Plame case nor the incident on the set had much to do with his departure.
Bullshit.
"I'm sure I wouldn't have stayed anyway. I don't think they would have kept me. It was irrelevant to the final decision," Novak said.
And…bullshit.
Wow. Three transparently self-serving and ridiculous sentences pooped out in a neat row by Novakula. I guess that’s the kind of fearless truth spewing that we can expect from Pravda’s newest orc.
Still, it is very convenient to land Novak on Fox: sort of a one-stop-shopping Mustang Ranch dealy for fake journalist hatemongers and trollops.
And from now on, when there is a dispute as to which of them is the bigger lying, GOP fifth column-serving, “sac de douche”, it’ll be settled the old-fashioned way.
Dance off!

Drifty- I love you man, but you can't put up pictures like that. I will be sending you a bill for drycleaning. Pay up, cleaning up projectile vomit don't come cheap.
frank,
I know. I felt dirty the minute I created this abomination.
But I hafta ask, if it was projectile vomiting, how did you get any on yourself?
Aha!
The carpets, won't someone think about the carpets.
the "mutual agreement" looks like it was between Novak and Hume :)
If you feel dirty creating this.. holla and i'll put my photoshop skills to good use
The big mystery in this case is that Robert Novak hasn't been called to account for his actions. He, after all, is the one who took the leak in the first instance and put it in his column. Yet he's free and clear, and people who merely looked into the same story are about to go to jail.
I'm not a fan of Judith Miller's work. Her horrible reporting, such as it was, provided cover for much of the bogus Iraq war justification. She should be held to account as a journalist, but the New York Times continues to support her, and that's a black mark on the Times.
