USA Today covers the real entertainment value in the Novak/CNN flap: the inimitable James Carville.
"Carville said Friday that he was perplexed by the episode. 'It was kind of like having a dream: You're riding a wagon down a hill and all of a sudden you're in a swimming pool, asking, 'How'd I get here?'
"Novak has said little publicly about his role in Plame case.
But in a newspaper column last week, he noted that Plame was included under the listing for her husband, ambassador Joseph Wilson, in Who's Who in America.
"A copy of Who's Who sat on Henry's anchor desk Thursday, leading some bloggers to speculate that Novak suspected Henry planned to ask him about Plame's name in it and used Carville's remarks as an excuse to walk out.
"That's how Carville saw it. 'Bob's got a lot going on in his life, and that book was sitting on the desk like a barf bag, just waiting,' he said."
The real shocker, and cause for concern, in the whole Novak debacle is not that Novak cussed and stormed off the set. It's that Novak took Carville seriously. Carville doesn't even take himself seriously!
