<title>Hot Rod Bob Novak Gets A Crash Course In Life (Trees And Things)</title>
<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2008/7/23/15290/0456</link>
<description>Finally, &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Novak">Bob Novak&lt;/a> may finally be held responsible for something.  No, not for any of his parlous political views he spews in his syndicated column or as the resident right wing boob on a number of TV talk shows.  What's got Novak's tit in a wringer involves his hitting a pedestrian with his car and his &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0708//11985.html">attempt to flee the scene&lt;/a>.</description>

<description>I feel really bad about the brain tumor. &#160;What a horrible thing to go through. &#160;My thoughts go out to him, his family, and his many readers.</description>

<description>He was probably so stressed that people were pissed that he ran down a &lt;i>nobody&lt;/i> that he had to go to the doctor...and thus found the tumor.</description>

<description>But, it's still possible to note that it's terrible that Bob Novak, the human being, has a brain tumor while still deploring his professional output as the product of a lying, weaselly piece of goat choad.</description>

<description>Most corvettes don't dent; they've got fiberglass bodies. I imagine that if it was a low-speed hit (stop, then turn right at red), there may not be any obvious damage. Though, lack of mention of damage doesn't mean there is none. There's only been mention </description>
