Politics: Onward from New Hampshire

[Tyrone Slothrop]

• Just got off the phone with Symbolman - he was outside the Merrimac Restaurant in Manchester, NH where CNN is broadcasting, and he said things got a bit testy when Bob Novak came out of the restaurant, heading for the CNN bus.
  
  Apparently, someone from the crowd got on Novak's case, calling him a traitor a few times. Novak went ballistic - Sym decribed it as a 'Lee Harvey Oswald moment' - and went over and shoved the guy, sending him sprawling.
  
  TBTM might - might - have gotten it on videotape. Stay tuned.
  
  More: Sym said that the guy is considering pressing assault charges. He told me that Novak really lit into him and the guy went flying - and he said the guy wasn't a little guy. Sym was standing behind the guy and caught him as he hurtled backward.
  
  Sym got into an argument with Tucker Carlson about it afterward, and Tucker reportedly told him to 'Get over it' because Novak 'is an old man.' The guy who got pushed waited outside the bus for an apology, and Novak went into the bus and closed the door, refusing to come out.
  
  Brad - the man who got shoved - was glad he got a reaction, because in his view, 'The guy is dirty - he knows he did something wrong,' referring to the Valerie Plame leak story.
