Novak Storms Off CNN, Avoids CIA Leak Question

Apparently James Carville got under Novak's collar as they exchanged Crossfire style concerning Katherine Harris and the Florida Senate race.

From E&P:

"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.""

But the tidbit that is interesting is that moderator Ed Henry was going to ask Novak about his revealing CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.

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

There has been many an exchange between Carville and Novak and they smile after the exchange, television spectacle politics-as-usual. I think Novak simply found an out to dodge the question. You can run Novak, but you can't hide.
