The Prince of Darkness has gotten some bad news:
BOSTON (AP) -- Syndicated columnist and former "Crossfire" host Robert Novak has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is suspending his journalistic work. Novak issued a statement Monday saying the tumor was found Sunday after he had been rushed to Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital from Cape Cod, where he was visiting his daughter. The Chicago Sun-Times columnist says he is suspending his journalistic work for an indefinite, "but God willing, not too lengthy period." His statement did not say if the tumor was malignant. Novak's most recent columns include a prediction that Mitt Romney as a running mate could clinch Michigan for John McCain, and his column today suggesting that McCain could fumble and fumble his way right into the White House if Obama doesn't "close the deal." Well, I could have written that...
Anyway, here's hoping the P.O.D. gets well. Even a man who would out a CIA agent and who hits old guys with his Porsche deserves human sympathy.
