Robert Novak, who was charged with hitting a pedestrian last week whilst driving his black corvette, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times the diagnosis came after Novak was taken to a hospital on Sunday during a family event. No word yet on whether the car accident and the tumor are connected, though, one wonders how they couldn't be; on Wednesday Novak said he never saw the pedestrian who was reportedly sprawled across his windshield. Novak is set to undergo a biopsy later today.
