“X-rays, catscans reveal nothing”
Sorry, a punchline too obvious to ignore.
BOSTON - Syndicated columnist and former “Crossfire” host Robert Novak has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is suspending his journalistic work.
Novak issued a statement Monday 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.
The Chicago Sun-Times columnist says he is suspending his journalistic work for an indefinite, “but God willing, not too lengthy period.” His statement did not say if the tumor was malignant.
I’m not burning with sympathy for Mr. Novak, but I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, so I’ll forego the schadenfreude. I had a friend who died from a brain tumor, and he did a lot of real crazy shit for several years before he was diagnosed. Who knows?
