It’s Not Robert Novak’s Week
Poor Robert Novak really is having a horrible week. If you don’t remember him, he’s the guy who first released the identity of former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson. A well known conservative columnist, here’s an overview of how his week went from bad to worse.
First Novak seems to get the scoop of the week after sources close to the McCain campaign tell him that McCain will probably reveal his VP pick this week. Although there’s still three days to the week, a day later he learned that he might have been duped.
Then today, while driving in Washington, Novak hits a pedestrian, and doesn’t realize it until he’s chased down by a bicyclist. A mistake anybody could make, I’m sure, except for Novak’s admitted aggressive driving behavior.
Cheer up, Mr. Novak. Maybe John McCain will have a new story for you to report tomorrow.
Novak really showed his true colors. Like most so called "conservative" pundits (I’m talking about guys like Novak and Limbaugh) they are eager to attack others for the slighest misstep, however when one of them is involved in an incident such as this, not only do they avoid trying to make amends by acting in a conciliatory manner (for example in this case Novak could’ve stopped his car to find out if the pedestrian was ok and try to help), but they seem to be apalled at the idea that they should be held accountable, and will never, ever own up to the idea that they made a mistake
No one will read this since its one week later but now we know he’s been diagnosed with a brain tumor. and yes it could have caused such an incident.
