Robert Novak's Bullshit

[Eric J in MN]

Conservative pundit Robert Novak said "bullshit" during a live discussion on CNN.

From The Smoking Gun via BuzzFlash:

Cable airwaves (are) not regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. But that didn't stop about 100 concerned citizens from sending e-mails and letters to the FCC complaining about Novak's August 4 CNN outburst. While facing off with Democratic strategist James Carville, the 74-year-old Novak responded to one Carville dig with, "Well, I think that's bullshit, and I hate that." He then walked off the "Inside Politics" set.

One letter

Dear Sir or Madam,
I was watching CNN with my family when all of a sudden Robert Novak lost his temper, said the word "BULLS***," and walked off the CNN stage. This incident occured on Thursday Aug. 4, 2005 at approx. 4:45pm Eastern Time. Please fine Mr. Novak for the downfall of family values he has caused.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Another letter

I am outraged at the behavior of Robert Novak on CNN. During an exchange with James Carville on 8-5-05, Novak objected to a line of questioning, yelled an expletive, and stormed off the stage. If Janet Jackson's private parts can cause brain damage in children, what will it do to them to see a grown man have a temper tantrum, cursing and leaving in a huff?
Thank you for your time,

A third letter

On the CNN show Inside Politics yesterday, August 4th, Mr. Robert Novak used the "B" word. I was very offended, and my children have been corrupted as a result of hearing him use that word. They are now constantly using the "B" word and I can't control them anymore. Please see to it that Mr. Novak and CNN are fined the appropriate $500,000 for corrupting the youth of America. Thank you.

5. So why do they have to pixillate things

on the Travel Channel when they do the "Top 10 Nude Beaches"?

6. It's a tradition for "basic cable" to avoid nudity and expletives.

It's not a legal requirement.

They don't have to pixillate people nude beaches.
