Robert Novak Diagnosed With Brain Tumor
Influential conservative commentator and longtime Washington journalist Robert Novak has been hospitalized after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.
“On Sunday, July 27, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor," Novak wrote in a statement given to his publisher. "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.”
A fixture of the Washington media for five decades, Novak played a prominent role in the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal when he identified Plame as a CIA operative in his newspaper column. Last week, Novak was in the news when he was cited for hitting a pedestrian with his car in Washington.

It would be a serious mistake to call me a friend of yours. Novak is a dirty rotten scum bag. Good riddence to him and his kind. Got it?
Wishing you a slow slow distrbing death.
This may go a long way toward explaining some of what appears to be the outright silliness Bob has offered over the past year or so.
I hope he returns soon and stays around for a long time.

"Carrier"? LOL. The Bush Demographic. Which carrier was it--the USS ? Bob needs to do time for hit and run.
he regularly propagated "information" provided by his WH handlers - flaming the war cries and necon power feeding frenzy.
sorry for your problems novak, but you aren''t a very good person.
It may be a message from God! And God is saying it''s time to get you out of there before you do anymore harm!
If he recovers, he recovers. If not, the nation''s security status will improve---no more telling the enemy who are agents ARE!
agree. vote independent
dude it''s called an opinion. last time i checked w/have this thing called the 1st amendment. just relax, breathe and enjoy
He''s certainly a hero to the Mullahs in Iran. Thanks to him outing the CIA counter-WMD network we have no idea where the Iranians have their nuclear bunkers.
I hope he returns soon and stays around for a long time.
To many Progressives, this is something they have suspect for a very long time about Novak.
However, while Novak is in the hospital he will be attended to by the most famous neocon doctors in the country. It has even learned that "Doctor" Michael Savage will be called in as a consultant and it is a certainty that he will tell Novak that it is all in his head!!!!!
SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!
sig heil, ABSOLUTELY MORE OF THE SAME, "SURRRRRRRRGE" McCain!!!!!

How about for the next two terms anybody with a D or R next to thier names are barred from running for any office in the US. Maybe vote purely on issues instead of personality & party. Some do vote the issues, but very few.
This is hilarious!!!
Kennedy gets a brain tumor and all the Repubs pile on the insults while the Dems scream about how mean and insensitively Repubs are.
Now Noval geta brain tumor and the Dems are doing the exact same thing they chastised Repubs for doing.
==================================
you are absolutely right, except for one thing: this is not hilarious. America has become a very deeply divided country with a lot of hatred on both sides, and both sides claiming "real" American values and a "real" understanding of God. If this hatred keeps going on America will end up with the same kind of internal divisions as northern Ireland or former Yugoslavia.
