Robert Novak hits a man in a crosswalk

It looks like conservative commentator Robert Novak has one more nugget to add to his legacy. First he was the guy known for dropping the S-bomb on CNN and storming off the set. He then outed a covert CIA agent and ignited a big mess resulting in the prosecution, conviction, and subsequent Presidential commutation of a prison sentence of a man named “Scooter”. Now he has struck a man in a crosswalk with his car in downtown Washington D.C.

Novak, who is 77-years “young”, claims that he didn’t know he had struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk.  After hitting the man, Novak continued driving. He had to be chased down by another man, David Bono, on a bicycle who had witnessed the accident.

Bono dismisses the claim from Novak that he didn’t know he had struck a pedestrian.  Bona told a reporter from WJLA TV that the vicim was “splayed on his windshield” and would have been impossible to miss.

Novak was slapped with a $50 ticket and allowed to go on his way.  That’s more then he got when he leaked the name of a covert CIA agent.
