CNN's Wolf Blitzer hasn't reported on Novak's Hit and Run today

[Catherine Vincent]

At least not yet. I wonder why that is? Is it because Jack Cafferty had the same incident or is it because Novak used to be employed with CNN?

1. I wouldn't expect them to, there are more important things to report

Like BradJolina's babies or Britney Spears news. Maybe another rich kid in the Caribbean to obsess over.

2. Or was novak drunk???

Or was he age impaired? Or was he on his cell phone with karl rove chatting about their next Valerie Plamesque escapade? Conservative crime. Where is the news value in that?

3. I've got some NEWS for Wolfie..

Novak has Hit and Run before, with his FIST, and then he ran for the CNN bus..

Me and some other folks filed ASSAULT CHARGES against him during the 2004 Primaries in New Hampshire -- here's the link to the story:

Good idea, thanks :)

5. I'm sure they are friends, being of the same political stripes and having worked at trashing

Democrats.
