How can you sit in a low slung open top plastic car and not know a body was splayed on your hood?

[Stinky The Clown]

Come on, Novak.

You hate jaywalkers, remember? You'd run them over, remember? You said that on teevee once.

And now you expect us to believe you didn't know you hit this guy?

Maybe you're too old and ornery to drive anymore ....... you fucking douchebag.

[madinmaryland]

1. I wondered the same thing.

Why is allowed behind the wheel of a car?

[Ian David]

2. I dunno....

"Pull-over, mister Novak!"

[tanyev]

16. That is disturbing.

But I can't stop laughing.

:rofl:

[LSparkle]

3. Was he coming back from his 3-mimosa brunch?

There IS a God after all -- that man NEEDED some comeuppance!

[treestar]

4. I once had a client ages ago, who got all sorts of trouble and threat

of hit-and-run charges from an insurance company - the plaintiff had come up to the car and pounded on the car, and the client was scared and just drove away! The bastids kept claiming that constituted a "hit and run!"

Yet watch this asshole get away with claiming he didn't notice!

[Muttocracy]

5. if you can't see past your steering wheel, time to give up driving. nt

[Richardo]

6. He was napping?

:shrug:

Pretty lame.

[Canuckistanian]

7. The same way you can think the Bush administration is wonderful

Puuuuuuure delusion.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. Why the hell was he only given a $50 citation? Why isn't this a hit and run, which is a felony if

there was bodily injury?

[Kelvin Mace]

15. Because he's somebody

and the guy he hit is nobody.

Next question...

[Bozita]

9. Maybe he was texting.

After all, he's a very busy person.

[libnnc]

10. And apparently the poor man he hit

is in worse shape than what was first reported

Novak should have been arrested on the scene.

[Catherine Vincent]

21. You should start a thread in GD with this news. nt

[jimshoes]

11. Does he get 24 hours before he has

to take a breath test?

[Kelvin Mace]

14. Hey, when you have connections

that's how it works.

My mom was run down by an undercover police officer driving 70 in a 45. Despite witness reports (they didn't know he was a cop) that they smelled alcohol on him, and that he had been in a bar drinking ten minutes before, he was never tested. My mom's body was still warm when they did a full alcohol and drug screen on her. The police claim she "walked into the policeman's car".

[Kelvin Mace]

12. The same way you can look at George Bush

and see a great statesman and leader instead of a drunken war criminal.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

13. The top was up

What kind of dickwad has a convertible on a day like today in DC and keeps the top up? But, that's how it was. I find it almost unbelievable that Novak is limber enough to be able to get into a Corvette.

[Ian David]

18. If Novak drives with the top down, the folds of fat blow in front of his eyes.

It's not worth it just for the exhilarating feeling of the wind blowing on his scalp.

[greenbriar]

17. If you are drunk off your ass, you might not know...

I think Novak is a big pile of drunk

[ColbertWatcher]

19. Because he's lying?

Because Jeff Gannon was blocking his view?

[LostInAnomie]

20. If you're in the throws of furious masturbatuion, that's how.

And, since he's a Republican, it was probably to gay porn.

[MiniMe]

22. Why does this remind me of another incident

Like a VP who didn't bother to report that he shot his friend in the face. Coincidence? I think not.
