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."

16. 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.

17. tgirl, outing Valerie Plame was an act of treason. What's the usual punishment for that?
Stop drinking the neo-con cool-aid.

19. Despite all the hateful things that this man has said and done, brain cancer doesn't even begin to explain how this man's brain could be so broken.

24. oh my god, i cant believe anyone is gullible enough to believe this tripe. this rightwing d*uchebag has spin doctors up the wazoo, OF COURSE THIS IS BULL. his p.r. people ARE COUNTING ON THE MASSES OF SHEEP BELIEVING this crap. this jerkoff has never expressed true remorse for any of the damage he has caused innocent people, his pr people KNOW he has no sympathy from anyone, and they NEED to garner some in any way they can. THIS GUY GOT AWAY WITH HIT AND RUN THAT VERY WELL COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE, WITH A FRIGGIN 50 DOLLAR FINE. to create a desperate situation that NO LAY PERSON CAN POSSIBLY DISAGREE WITH , LIKE A TUMOR, is perfect. oh my god, wake up, people, this is a disgusting dirty rotten ploy his spin doctors concocted to try and redeem this unredeemable prick in the public eye. and whats worse, hes PAYING for this spin. oh my god. BE SMARTER THAN THAT. this is a dirty stunt that is low low low, and i say NO NO NO. For him to use something that real people are really suffering from is EVIL.

26. hmmm the timing of his coming out about his brain tumor; being a newsman and all, he should have scooped himself!

27. Something is in that Cape Code Water.
That is 2 big bags of hot air (TED KENNEDY and Numb Nuts Novak) both go to the Cape and BOTH diagnosed with brain tumors.
Should a guy with a brain tumor be allowed to drive a car?
Should a guy with a brain tumor be allowed to serve in the Senate?
Hope they both get well soon..but it is weird ....

28. It must affect your motor skills and decision making. Look at all the bad decisions Senator Kennedy has been making for years.

29. # 24, and the government blew up the Twin Towers right?

30. can' believe all you hate filled people!!! I felt bad for Kennedy, as I do for him and yes it does affect your motor skills! I wonder what is making you guys hate so much! That is what is wrong with this world! What if this was a member of your family - it does not matter what side your own - didn't your parents teach you better? I guess NOT!!!!!!! God does not wish bad things to people they just happen. We have bad people in both parties - get a life people and pray for everyone that has a brain tumor or anything that effects them like this. It is just like having cancer both parties get it - does that make one worst then the OTHER??????
