Bob Novak - Brain Tumor

[J. J.]

MSNBC - Novak has a tumor.

At the risk of being tasteless, could this have been why Novak did not notice he hit the guy last week? I don’t know how disoriented a tumor makes you, but it seems like this might have played a role in the incident.

If so, that would make it excusable.

It could explain why he didn't hear the man hit or stop.

And witnesses said he was "disoriented" and "drunken LIKE". Probably why he went to the doctor and how he found this out.

Yes, it would make it excusable.  There was man who recently had a fatal heart attack while driving out of a parking garage.  He obviously lost control and injured several people.  I don't blame him.

BUMP

Looks like things are grave for Bob Novak:

Very sad to hear.

It seems like the reason for his hit and run was due to his bout with cancer, something we did not know when it happened. I apologize for offending anybody with my comments that day.

I hope Novak can get survive this, but it does not look good right now.

You didn't know, and neither did Bob Novak.  I doubt if he would have been driving had he known.

I wish him the best, but at his age (74), I am not optimistic.
