Did we get a breathalyzer? He must have been drinking mimosas or bloody marys before leaving the house.

I can’t imagine him not getting a breathalyzer test. Everyone in D.C. plays the “gotcha” game, I’m sure most of the local media would love to take Novak down!

Nice camera work! How about a shot of the car, maybe look around it a bit, see if you could detect where he made contact with the pedestrian? That is the problem with a lot of news on the net, it’s being “reported” by amateurs, and so much gets left out, that you only get half the story, I guess that would explain Obama 08

The pedestrian was hit and he fell across the windshield, clinging to the hood before letting go and sliding off to the ground. Novak tried to escape and a bicyclist chased him down and parked in front of him so he couldn’t split the scene, until the cops came. Novak kept saying he had to go, let me get outta here, all with several witnesses. Novak is a guy who has had previous verbal shouting matches with pedestrians in the past, hurling obscinities at them. He races around DC in his ‘vette without regard to any laws.

Was he wearing the Batman costume when he hit the pedestian?

Too bad there wasn’t a cyclist around when Kennedy (Uncle Ted) ran off and left Mary Jo Kopekne and left her to drown some years ago.

Steve,
What has that go to do with Novak running over a pedestrian? Did Novak try to leave the scene? If he did, then he committed a crime and should be charged. Just because he is a Conservative pundit does not mean that he should get a pass.

Yeah, well what about all the Dumbocrats that hit pedestrians! The Liberal scum MSM never mentions them!

This whole story about Novack sounds like just another hit pies from the Lib media, probably never happened

Airwick   July 23rd, 2008 - 3:55 pm

I believe that there were witnesses. Were they all “Liberal scum MSM”, too? If a Liberal is involved in a hit and run, then he/she should be charged as well. This still does not give Novak a pass.

Novak is a conservative, you can bet he won’t get anything close to a “pass”. Even if it’s proven that is was an accident, he’ll be hounded for the rest of his professional life. Within a month it will be accepted as fact that he intended to kill the pedestrian who was wearing a vote for Obama t-shirt.

If the justice system fails on this one, then I would suggest street justice should prevail. Have Novak cross the street in the crosswalk and what ever happens when a car doesn’t stop for him, well, you get the picture.

To Mr. Novak,

As a fellow Vette owner, how could you NOT know you hit someone???

I’ll bet the hood, at least, has some damage.

77 and in a Vette…Checkin’ out the chickies, Bob?

At least it wasn’t a yellow Vette

… thank GOD the pedestrian wasn’t black .
… hope he recovers and get John Edwards as his
lawyer .
… at least it wasn’t a Prius .

Get. Some. Help.

If America’s traitor Novak would have been executed when he should have been. This would not have happened…

Hahaha Novak what a scum bag. 77 year old tool drives a corvette.
