Could it be a karmic retribution for assisting with outing a NOC agent?

Robert Novak is caught in a "hit and run" accident in while driving around DC.
"He's not dead, that's the main thing", said Novak after good samaritans blocked his further efforts from escaping until police arrived.

Unless you believe that New Orleans was destroyed because they were going to have a gay parade, you cannot attribute this incident to karma.

And sadly, it involves injury to an innocent person. But as far as Novak ia concerned, retribution, karma, who cares? Whoopee!

how can you 'not see him'

when.. "Bono said "a black Corvette convertible with top closed plows into the guy. The guy is sort of splayed into the windshield.”

I'm guessing here... that the body, 'splayed' on the windshield would be a big clue as to something being amiss..

It's okay, the President will pardon him.

I suspect there's a lot less to this story than meets the eye.

Don't tell us he was out practicing his "aggressive driving skills"?

i am thinking Ray has the right of this one...novak was cited for failing to yield the right of way...not for hit and run. The pedestrian was treated and release for minor injuries. Novak was cited at the scene and released. I am thinking the witness may well be embellishing his story quite a bit and the Politico is running with a story that will appeal to its target audience. In short...much ado about almost nothing. Not nearly as juicy as Cheney shooting a hunting partner.

Weird? Novak hits a guy and runs.... obviously he was at fault because he failed to yield the right of way. He is released after the police question him for about an hour or so...? They don't even administer a sobriety test! I guess only Washington big shots like Novak and Kennedy get off this light?

The latest update: Politico obviously forgot to report the seriousness of the pedestrian's condition.

The pedestrian who was struck by prominent Washington columnist and commentator Robert Novak is in worse shape than first thought, a hospital source tells ABC 7 News.

The victim, 66-year-old Don Lilkinquist, appeared somewhat incoherent, according to a source at the scene. Lilkinquist also appeared to have casts on his neck and back and was later X-rayed. The source said a surgical team planned to evaluate him.

Hmmm! Sounds like the John Edwards personal injury shysters have arrived on the scene.

Ray, maybe so, the cyclist is an attorney.

WS,I speculate that Novak was drunk, rather than such an S.O.B. that he hit a pedestrian and just didn't care. And while I'm speculating, it also pleases me to speculate that Novak had just stumbled drunkenly out of the Camelot Showbar before getting into his Corvette and flooring it up 18th Street at rush hour.
