Novak Tumor: Factor in D.C. Crash?

Posted Jul 28th 2008 12:51PM by TMZ Staff

Right wing bad driver Robert Novak has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Does that affect your motor skills?

Novak, who was involved in a hit and run with a pedestrian last week in D.C., issued a statement saying "On Sunday, July 27, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have been admitted to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where doctors will soon begin appropriate treatment. I will be suspending my journalistic work for an indefinite but, God willing, not too lengthy period."

The Chicago Sun-Times reports Novak was with his family yesterday on Cape Cod when he suddenly became ill. He was brought by ambulance to the hospital in Boston. Doctors have not yet performed a biopsy on the tumor.

His assistant told the paper "He's talking'' and "seemed fine."

4. Bunny, then by your thought process, you will be getting a tumor for being such a bitch. How very sad for the man. Am sorry to hear it.

6. Gee, shocker! Crappy "editorials", neo-con worldview, thinks it's OK to out a covert CIA operative and to splatter a homeless man with his car. A brain tumor is the only explanation for this hateful man's behavior.

7. Wow! I didn't know he had a brain.

8. Does it seem like everyone and their dog has a brain tumor? Maybe cell phones and all those big towers they use really are doing us in.

10. So, a neo-con going to get treated at liberal Harvard hospital??

Seems that when his health is an issue, he is more than happy to use the life saving services of our liberal Massachusetts institutions!

11. The timing of this announcement has set off my skepticism alarm. He had a hit and run accident with a pedestrian at the end of last week, becomes ill over the weekend, and by early morning on Monday he has been diagnosed with a critical medical condition that is similar to the one that struck Senator Kennedy and earned the senator such much sympathy. I'm not sure this item can pass the smell test.

12. I AGREE WITH STEVE #9. NIOVAK IS A HATEFUL PIECE OF CRAP.

14. Brain tumors are the new rehab.

15. Doesn't pass the smell test??? Kind of like when a certain Kennedy off-spring suddenly had to enter rehab for alcohol and drug addition the day after crashing thru the concrete barrier in the Capitol a few years back???

of course it passes the smell test - its more than likely the reason he said he didn't know he hit the man in the crosswalk, even though the man rolled up on his hood.

who cares about Valerie Plane, she was a nobody in a field office, her neighbors all knew she worked there, she wasn't undercover, it was a witch hunt.
