   So you are saying this was Novak's first go around in a less   
   than polite debate?  That he doesn't know how to handle   
   himself in these situations?   
      
   LOL, naive at best.  More likely he thought he could just   
   use the outburst to get out of answering questions in the   
   upcoming segment, without repercussions (conservatives think   
   repercussions are for other people)  OR he is truly stressed   
   about the whole Plame thing.
