Novak takes the high road; apologizes to viewers
Bob Novak, after his on-air meltdown yesterday, took the time to apologize to viewers today for his expletive-ridden tirade.
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.No muss, no fuss."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.
I can't excuse his behavior, but I certainly accept his apology. I'm glad he stood up and took his hand-slap like a man.
There's no word, at present, as to when CNN will let him back on the air.

I know he wanted to knock some teeth out but he kept his cool and walked away. and truthfully, if he had stayed, i think alot more worse things would have come out of his mouth outside of 'bullshit'.
