If a man slams into a windshield and Novak doesn’t notice, does he make a sound?
Right-wing extremist and columnist Robert Novak is in a spot of trouble. You might remember Novak — he gave the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame to our enemies because he didn’t like her husband.
Seems Novak, known around Washington as an “aggressive driver” (read: jerk), hit a pedestrian. The pedestrian, described as a “male in his 60s,” slammed against Novak’s windshield before falling off. Novak sped away, and only stopped when a bicyclist moved in front of his car and prevented Novak from going further.
My favorite part, though: Novak claimed he didn’t realize he had hit anyone.
The man bounced off his windshield, and Novak says he didn’t notice this. Maybe I’m a bit more observant than most folks, because if a man slammed into my windshield while I was driving, I think I’d be aware of it.
Ergo, either Novak is inattentive or has a medical condition that prevents him from seeing what’s on the road, or he’s an out and out liar. There aren’t any other options.

I’m betting liar based on his lies to date.
