A Twist of Fate

My mama always used to say when you do bad things to people it comes back to you.

That may be the explanation for syndicated columnist and former "Crossfire" host Robert Novak, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Novak issued a statement today saying the tumor was found Sunday after he had been rushed to Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital from Cape Cod, where he was visiting his daughter.

You remember him. He was the first to publicly reveal the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame.

And just last week, The 77-year-old post baby boomer was given a $50 citation after he struck a homeless man with his black Corvette in Washington. Novak kept going until he was stopped by a bicyclist. The fact that he kept going should've landed him in jail but it didn't.

The Chicago Sun-Times columnist also said in his statement that he is suspending his journalistic work for an indefinite, "but God willing, not too lengthy period"

Now is as good a time as any for Mr. Novak to ask for forgiveness, don't you think?
