CNN loves him because his inept debating ability and his noxious personality are a perfect combination for their "right wing" side of the discourse.
Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel is another one... the perfect Republican idiot for the media.
Remember when "ditzy" Arianna Huffington was the "conservative" media mouthpiece?
I realize it will never happen, but it certainly wouldn't bother me if they locked Novak up for not giving up his source just to get rid of his incoherent CNN commentary.
Add to that his annoying little grin whenever a liberal on the panel refers to "country club Republicans." The vast majority of Republicans in this country are productive, hard working people who have never belonged to a country club.
CNN etc. certainly won't allow a terrific conservative speaker and debater like Laura Ingraham be a regular on a show.
