Robert Novak diagnosed with brain tumor.
By on Jul 28th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Robert Novak diagnosed with brain tumor.
Conservative pundit Robert Novak was admitted yesterday to a Boston hospital where he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Novak said in a written 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.
I will be suspending my journalistic work for an indefinite but, God willing, not too lengthy period.
Novak, 77, made headlines last week when he was “cited by police after he hit a pedestrian with his black Corvette in downtown Washington, D.C.” Novak said at the time, “I didn’t know I hit anybody.”
Update "Dr. Lynne Taylor, a neuro-oncologist at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, said residents at the hospital are taught to check for brain tumors in patients who report having a recent car accident in which they didn't realize they struck something."

Not going there…
July 28th, 2008 at 1:06 pmNo gloating. The tumor might be the reason he hit that guy, since it can affect one’s vision.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:07 pmWise choice, young Master Llama
July 28th, 2008 at 1:07 pmI think that Novak is a traitor for the Plame mess, but it is sad to hear such dire news. No one should have to suffer with that kind of affliction, no matter what their politics are.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:09 pmLook, out of all the public figures who have made their marks in the past eight years, I think Robert Novak is one of the most odious. Right up there in Dick Cheney territory.
But I’m not going to say he deserved this diagnosis or that it’s any kind of cosmic payback.
That’s not much different than John Hagee saying Katrina hit New Orleans because of a gay pride parade.
I have no sympathy for him, but I have no joy either. I think anyone who celebrates news like this should take a little personal inventory.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:10 pmI hope he has a speedy recovery. Give the political disagreements a rest until then.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:10 pmHis water carrying for the McCain campaign will be greatly missed, I’m sure.

July 28th, 2008 at 1:11 pmso?
July 28th, 2008 at 1:11 pmI never liked the guy.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:12 pmI think he’s a weasel, but I can’t help but feel bad for anyone with a brain tumor.
I had no idea he was 77. What is it with these pundits?
Why can’t they ever retire?
Pat Buchanon’s another one that doesn’t know when it’s time.
Pat’s brain is still residing in 1992.
Against stronger impulses, I will give the benefit of the doubt and assume he really does have a brain tumor.
If he does, I wish him a speedy recovery or worst case scenario, as painless a death as possible.
A friend of mine just died from a brain tumor he had been battling for 6 years.
It is a horrible way to die.
As progressives, liberals, independents…actually FU(K the politics of it, as HUMAN BEINGS with EMPATHY and COMPASSION, we should not wish this even on those we despise the most.
No offense to the posters here that I have (admittedly, and unintentionally) called out on that, but it makes us no better than Novak, Snow, et al when we pull this crap. It needs to stop.
I am not a concern troll, though I sound like it right now, as most of you know.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:12 pmDear Grim Reaper…
….and don’t forget Karl Rove, DC, GWB, Seedy Gonzales, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Richard Pearle, Paul wolfowitz, William Kristol, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and any other LOSER who has caused so much pain for the benefit of so few. I’m sure I have left many off the list…..
July 28th, 2008 at 1:13 pmAlthough Novak isn’t one of my favorite people, he doesn’t deserve to be part of this awful club (which includes Ted Kennedy as a recent member) — nobody does.
I’m glad his tumor has been discovered and he can begin treatment for it. And I hope his recovery goes well. Just as I would wish for anyone who receives this diagnosis.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:13 pmIf you guys thought the media went overboard on Snow and Russert, a possible Novak wake would be insufferably worse.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:14 pmCrap, now we’re gonna hafta feel bad if we wanna make fun of Novak. Damn tumor.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:14 pmTim Russert, Tony Snow and now Novak.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:15 pmThe Bush/Cheney enablers are dropping like flies this summer.
I am very sorry for Novaks condition. However, God is all powerful and just. Maybe those whose religious zealotry has supported the Republican agenda should start to see the hand of God in these developments.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:15 pmWell said, LT. Well said.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:16 pmMost folks use the “I’m going to rehab” out when they’re in legal trouble. You know — Lohan, Limpballs, etc.
Novakula is using the lesser known but equally effective “I have a brain tumor” defense in his hit-and-run case.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:20 pmI couldn’t disagree with Novak more, be it politics, society, decency, or accepting of facts. But I won’t knock the guy for have a brain tumor. It’s not funny in any way and I hope he is able to get through it.

#17 Dr. Hussein Matt is spot on. Normally, I would not make any comments on someone who is ill. However, given the GOP method of personal attacks, general sleaziness, essentially being morally bankrupt, etc., etiquette is off the table.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:30 pmI smell rather large, stinkin rat with this.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:30 pmIt’s not common that dignostics for brain tumors happen over the weekend – unless someone’s head has exploded.
The man that destroyed the middle eastern offices of the CIA with his reporting? The man who did a hit and run on a pedestrian he promised to “run over”
July 28th, 2008 at 1:31 pmSweetheart of a fellow. Since he is part of the group that have committed war crimes for profit, I can’t feel for him. I believe he has given up his right to humanity by denying it to others.
I become kind of tired of this infinite loop, where we lecture each other on proper etiquettte toward traitors when they become sick or die. (I don’t think Tim Russert was a traitor, by the way.)
Novak didn’t care when the man he rammed became seriously injured. In fact, he attempted to glorify himself by claiming he wouldn’t challenge his $50 ticket.
If we could reverse this trend of the good dying young, that would be wonderful for our democracy.
We’re not traitors. Why should we become concerned when one is dealt a blow for the pain he inflicts on others? Pointing that out isn’t bad karma.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:31 pmExcellent account at #17, Dr. Matt.
I’ll say, that for a man like Edward Kennedy, 76 is too young. I hope he lives to be 115.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:34 pmAll of the newcomers (reich-wingers) on this thread (I’m not referring to regulars), take your politically-motivated outrage elsewhere. Don’t tell us how to conduct our business when you insist on a regressive NC senator being conveyed full respect, while flinging vile comments toward Ed Kennedy’s treatment. Sign off and stop coming here everytime a death/illness is reported.

No gloating. The tumor might be the reason he hit that guy, since it can affect one’s vision.
While I can agree that it may have effected his vision, I do not except that he didn’t feel the impact of hitting someone. As I said last week, anyone who drives a vette knows that you feel EVERYTHING you hit in a vette. They are to low to the ground not to.
Having said that, I do wish him a speedy recover. Brain tumors are nasty things and the brain is a very sensitive area to be messing around in.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:41 pmI confess that when I read the news about Novak’s brain tumor, the unworthy thought did cross my mind that perhaps – just perhaps – it was a convenient way for him to escape a hit-and-run charge, but then I decided not to believe that anyone could be that …what? Evil? Twisted?
And, having had a (benign) brain tumor myself (from which I have completely recovered), well, it isn’t any fun. It does allow for the possibility that he was indeed unable to see the man he hit, although I will say that a symptom *that* severe would have not occurred suddenly, but over a long period of time – a symptom he may have ignored.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:41 pmIf you want to be seen as the “better” of two groups, you don’t follow the other group’s lead and insult the person who is sick. Who cares if random Republican sites also had people saying nasty things about Kennedy?
There’s the high road and the low road. That’s just joining them on the low road. In that sense, there’s not much of a difference.
The “they did it first!” excuse only goes so far and, honestly, it’s thrown out there way too much on a lot of sites. That logical effectively excuses anything because there will always be someone else out there starting something.

So…you would wish permanent, never-ending live to Novak? To Cheney? Permanent, never-ending health and pleasure?
I couldn’t care less about a certain population of the world (any ruling members of any dictatorship or pending dictatorships). Whatever comes to them is karma and tough shit.
Novakula can get his cancer treatments in prison, where he belongs for attempted hit-and-run.
Mark my words, he, like ALL rich wingers, is merely seeking to gain sympathy and an excuse to NOT pay for his crimes.

July 28th, 2008 at 1:46 pmThe difference here, margerine, is that the reich types demand respect out us while telling us to back off as they berate those afflicted by illness/death within our party (Read: Dr. Matt at #12). The regressives are not at liberty to lecture the progressives.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:46 pmHow can one develop a brain tumor when there isn’t a brain present to start with ?
July 28th, 2008 at 1:49 pmS.D. –
We’re not wishing a brain tumor on anyone. I do know, however, that the reich is perfectly fine with poorly- accesible health care for poor and middle class people.
We know they’re wishing poor health on those “have nots.”

July 28th, 2008 at 1:53 pmNovak must have alot of pull, he hits a pedestrian on Friday and by Sunday diagnosed. Generally tests are not run, diagnosis must wait til work days.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:55 pmmy wife lost her mother to a brain tumor several years ago and it was initially diagnosed after she ran a stop sign and hit another car. She said she did not see the sign.
I am not fan of Novak, but I feel sorry for what he and his family are about to go through.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:56 pmMr. Novak and his family are in our thoughts, and good wishes for a successful treatment and long life.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:56 pmThat said, it’ll be nice not to see him ranting on the pundit stage for a while.
Of course, they’ll replace him with someone even more obnoxious, like Bloody Bill KristolMeth.
Sorry but Prince of Darkness hasn’t compiled alot compassion an sympathy so not alot to draw on when needed.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:57 pmAgain, sure a speedy diagnosis for the medical field that doesn’t usually work on weekends.
July 28th, 2008 at 1:59 pmMr. Novak and his family are in our thoughts, and good wishes for a successful treatment and long life.
UGH!
No doubt, when one of the biggest war criminals ever in American history (Cheney) is felled by his defective ticker, you will also be all sympathy and smooches. You will pine on what a great man was Cheney, a giant. You will go on about how we shall not see his like again (as if that would be a BAD thing).
Please. STOP THE CROCODILE TEARS! Don’t say ANYTHING if your autonomic impulse is to falsely go on about how very sorry you are for (insert truly evil and even criminal person’s name here) and their complicit family.
If you just can’t help yourself, bit a pillow and wail about how sad it is for bad people to be felled by mundane and inevitable shit.
Everyone croaks. EVERYONE. The croaking of some leads to a net gain in “positive energy” (if you will) for the world. Novakula falls into this category.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:02 pm.
Well, this certainly explains a lot!

Pa-leeze. Nothing wrong with wishing.
So long as you don’t go out of your way to bring about a tumor (inevitable if you live long enough…for instance, if you are not felled by a HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER, or a heart attack from all the Big Macs you wolf, etc, then you are going to get cancer) you have nothing to feel shame about by feeling what you actually do (but are scared to voice): schadenfreund.
It is the feeling any human being feels when one of The Minion gets dropped in some way. You will feel this when Cheney croaks, when Bush croaks, when Rove croaks, whey Toensing croaks, etc. Enjoy the just feeling, don’t fight it. Some people deserve the ill that befalls them. Karma baby. Karma.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:10 pmtanq – the issue is novak a republican party hack…if you have trouble following the posts.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:10 pmNovak has a brain tumor as much as McKinney is going to take the White House in Nov.
Let’s be real folks: people like these are psychopaths (including Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, Rice etc) — they cannot distinguish right from wrong.
The Bush Krime family (with it’s current don, Babs) are the most dangerous family in America.

Michael Savage Mocks Kennedy Cancer
James Joyner | Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Right wing shock jock Michael Savage had fun at the expense of Teddy Kennedy while announcing that the senator had being diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Following the announcement that Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage opened his May 20 show by interspersing audio of Kennedy singing “Ay Jalisco No Te Rajes” with clips of news reporters discussing Kennedy’s diagnosis and audio from the 1990 film Kindergarten Cop in which Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character says, “It’s not a tumor.” Later, Savage played the Dead Kennedys song “California Über Alles” after stating: “The poor guy’s been suffering for years, you know? Unfairly he’s been accused of alcoholism, but we see now that it was something much more deep-seated. And so, to cut this out in some respect for Ted Kennedy, here’s a tune coming at you from the Dead Kennedys. Go ahead and play it, please.”
After reading from the lyrics of “California Über Alles,” Savage said, “No gloating today, no laughter, all serious. You don’t joke about a man’s cancer. I do it, but I won’t do it today; it’s something I will not do.” At one point in the program, he told a caller, “You know I’m playing the Dead Kennedys not to mock Ted Kennedy. It’s just appropriate, that’s all.”
While there’s no need to pretend to like a public figure with whom you have strong political disagreements — and in the case of Kennedy, perhaps serious qualms about his morality as well — it’s just in really poor taste to make fun of the fact that he’s likely dying. And to do so while claiming you won’t do it is beyond tacky.
Need I say more?
July 28th, 2008 at 2:17 pmStrange how the least God abiding people always draw on God for their own needs. The only good thing I can say about cheney he doesn’t pretend to be a religous person, he likes being evil and thumbs his nose at everyone.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:17 pmAnd tanq while pointing the finger at Kennedy take alook at laura bush who killed her classmate and couldn’t bother to attend the funeral.
My brother died of a brain tumor. I wish Bob Novak a sppedy recovery, or at least a death without the deterioration and agony he suffered.
I only wish that his fellow wingnuts and pundits might look on Novak’s case and realize that access to the corridors of power and insider influence mean exactly nothing.
In the end, it’s just you in that bed.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:18 pmLee Attwater – rove’s mentor for dirty tricks, dying of cancer actually did speak of remorse for behaving less than human…perhaps novak will find a conscience as well. Amazing that it takes a personal crisis to become part of the human race.

The president’s speech in Cleveland yesterday wasn’t just a bizarre defense for the status quo in Iraq; it managed to also include some bizarre ideas about healthcare. This gem, for example, won the coveted Clueless Quote of the Day from Dan Froomkin.
“The immediate goal is to make sure there are more people on private insurance plans. I mean, people have access to health care in America. After all, you just go to an emergency room
So, I guess they diagnose brain tumors in the 6-7 hours you wait in an emergency room. Right, Novakaine?
July 28th, 2008 at 2:28 pmtanq – better check your history before throwing stones, at least the Kennedy’s showed remorse real or not.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:34 pmGag! I’m sorry did novak say, “journalistic work” instead of hackery?
July 28th, 2008 at 2:40 pmSo much for TP being a “Hate site”. Don’t expect a retraction of that opinion from BillO and the other bilious righties.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:43 pmNot going there, either.
July 28th, 2008 at 2:45 pmRe #30: McWars says:
No, we are not traitors; we are human beings, and that is why we “should…become concerned when one is dealt a blow….” As for whether or not the “blow [Novak has been dealt is] for the pain he inflicts on others,” that is not for us to decide. And pointing out that this “blow” is probably blow-back or comeuppance that Novak rightly earned, isn’t bad karma its just bad.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:11 pmRelax people. The undead can’t die.
July 28th, 2008 at 3:23 pmNovak is a pile of bile. but having seen the effects of a brain tumor on a loved one I couldn’t wish that on anyone. IF this proves to be fatal I won’t for one minute act sad or pretend he was anything other than a rotten snake but a brain tumor… that’s awful.

Sorry about your mother, JIm, but several people on this thread, myself included, made points of expressing no joy or celebration for this diagnosis.
Yet your post sounded like you condemned everyone who posts here.
See how that makes you sound like a troll? (Not that the rest of your body of work here does not support that judgment.)
July 28th, 2008 at 4:30 pmNo one made excuses. But you simply said, “You people are sad and pathetic.”
Pretty straightforward. No indication whether you were criticizing those who were “boorish” or everyone who posts here. Given your dismissive “I’m not going to keep score” in this post, it sounds like you are criticizing everyone.
If so, you’re a dick, and you seem eager to use this thread as an opportunity to make your partisan points seem stronger by grounding them in moral outrage. If you really cared about “boorish behavior” then you would have criticized the boorish behavior, instead of calling everyone “sad and pathetic.”
Whatever. I gave you a few moments’ energy as if your were a real human being. I think I’ll go back to treating you as your posts deserve — as a troll, and not a particularly bright one at that.
Good day to you.
July 28th, 2008 at 4:43 pmI just hope the SOB does not suffer for very long.
July 28th, 2008 at 5:02 pmI’m sorry, but this sounds like an excuse for hit and run charges! I hope it’s not, and Lord forgive me for my evil thoughts, but though I think no one should have to suffer with a brain tumor, Robert Novak definitely qualifies. I knew something was wrong with his brain, it just took time to find out. But, I still think it’s going to be his defense in his hit and run trial.
July 28th, 2008 at 5:21 pmI would probably feel something for another human being with a diagnosis like this. But a part of me just can’t. Some might say what goes around comes around. If only a few more in the higher end of the administration would only keep their cell phones strapped to their heads.

July 29th, 2008 at 9:36 ami am so appalled that so many on this website can wish so much ill will on this man who is battling cancer. radical republican or not, the man is about to undergo a most brutal fight, and i know first hand, having had a brain tumor myself senior year of high school. having completely lost my vision for lengthy time periods, having had cognitive difficulties that can only be fully explained by experiencing them, and having had craniotomy to remove this cancer form my brain, i can only wish him well. i am 17, i did not wish this cancer on me, nor would i wish it on anyone else. This blog’s comments represent the extreme hatred of the radical left, and they minimize the fight of other cancer patients, and that is unforgivable.
