And it’s all James Carville’s fault! Just kidding. Carville would make anyone curse, though.
So Bob Novak is suspended from CNN. In some circles, this is an honor. But that’s just me. Let me set the scene: During a “debate” on “Inside Politics” about Florida politics, blah, blah, blah, Carville said something about “right wingers” and backbones, and Novak cursed. Got it? Here’s the exchange:
“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.” (Source)
I see. The profanity of profanity. Well, it would take a lot more than Carville’s smart mouth to make me to “lose my religion” on TV, but a man’s got to do what he’s got to do. Perhaps there’s more to the story, but that’s all I got. The Captain’s blogging it. Malkin’s picked up the meme. And Wizbang, too.

Here’s what’s REALLY strange: MSM and liberal bloggers have nothing worthwhile to say about Air America allegedly stealing money from poor black kids in New York, but they’re all over a story about a man saying the word “bullsh**” on cable news? Look at this madness.
Priorities, straight.
Update (8/5): I hope this means LBC will be featured on Connected Coast to Coast today. The world needs to read my probing and insightful commentary on cable news and curse words. (Watch the videotape)
Love means never having to say you’re sorry. Michelle calls on others to apologize, too.
I like search engines. They’re so…smart.
