Robert Novak may not have seen that pedestrian, after all:

Novak said he was diagnosed on Sunday with a brain tumor and will soon begin treatment at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He issued the following statement:

"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.

Of course, it would be inappropriate to snark in his general direction at this point.

Just as it would be unethical and treasonous to out a covert CIA operative.

Run wild, run free...
