I Didn't See This Coming

I'm kidding, of course:

After 25 years at CNN cable news, columnist Robert Novak, now embroiled in the Plame/CIA leak case, will be exiting on Dec. 31, and joining Fox News.

"We appreciate his many contributions and wish him well in future endeavors," said Jon Klein, president of CNN/U.S., in a statement this morning.

The decision was said to be "mutual," but Novak said this morning that while he didn't really want to stay he also felt CNN no longer wanted him. He has been off the air since August when he stormed off a CNN set during a live interview after uttering an obscenity. He served a brief suspension and apologized for the incident but had never returned to CNN since.

Judith Miller is next. She'll feel right at home over there.
