If he's guilty, he deserves 20 years in the can but we all know he'll
just pay a fine and that'll be it in criminal coddler america.

Exclusive: Robert Novak Speaks About Striking Pedestrian
posted 3:26 pm Wed July 23, 2008 - WA****NGTON
The pedestrian who was struck by prominent Wa****ngton columnist and
commentator Robert Novak is in worse shape than first thought, a hospital
source tells ABC 7 News.
The victim, a 66-year-old man, is undergoing surgery and was only semi-
conscious, the source said.
In an exclusive interview with ABC 7 News, Novak said felt "terrible"
about striking a pedestrian Wednesday morning while on his way to work in
downtown D.C.
Metropolitan police cited Novak with failure to yield to a pedestrian
about 10:07 a.m. at 18th and K streets NW, Novak confirmed to ABC 7 News.
Novak spoke to ABC 7 News as he emerged from a police car at the scene.
Novak said he did not know he had struck anyone. Novak said he didn't
know anything was wrong until a bicyclist rode ahead of him and blocked
traffic. The bicyclist informed Novak he had hit a pedestrian.
In an interview, the bicyclist told ABC 7's Suzanne Kennedy the
pedestrian was splayed across Novak's wind****eld, and there was no way
that Novak could not have known he struck someone. The cyclist, David
Bono, also said that the pedestrian was in a crosswalk and had the right
of way.
Novak admitted he was emotionally shaken by the incident.
Metropolitan Police Department (web|news) officers detained Novak at the
scene for about an hour. He was not arrested
D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman Alan Etter said the pedestrian complained of
pain in his arm and was taken to George Wa****ngton University Hospital
with what were described as minor injuries at the time.
