Ouch. That might explain his hitting the pedestrian and subsequent confusion.

Let me guess. Next he'll blame his Con-loving ways on his illness, much like Ronnie "Einstein" Reagan and Charleton "Shoot-Em-Up" Heston did with their mental defects.

I couldn't disagree more with his political and social views, but I wish him well and hope he gets better soon.

I guess I have gotten very cold and cynical... I just am having trouble believing this in light of the recent hit and run episode. If I am wrong, I apoligize 1000 times but...

It pains me to realize I've become so completely cynical that I think this old jerk is just trying to get out of his hit-and-run troubles. The old me would have assumed the brain tumor came what and is what caused the hit-and-run. Sigh.

Wow! That's pretty small to make a political attack of someone's suffering. I'll pray for his recovery just as I pray for Ted Kennedy's.

It stopped amazing me long ago how sick liberals can be toward others. A few of the comments here show just how little compassion they really have.

Well, hopefully this isn't a COVER UP for his recent hit & run accident. IMHO, couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. Get well Bob, I don't believe there is a statute of limitations on treason. Sure Valerie Plame Wilson will be sending you a get-well card (ROTFLOL)

Yes, Matt, liberals are compassionless thugs, unlike the paragons of virtue and faith such as, oh, say, Bob Novak!
You know, when he ran over the pedestrian and just kept going? That sort of compassion?

The better way to put it is:
PEOPLE are often sick and lack compassion.

As for me, I'm sorry he has brain cancer. I hear it's mostly painless, which is better than he deserves.

Ronald Reagan was more of a man than Obama, Clinton, and all of the Kennedy's combined.

I think Congress should issue subpoenas and call hearings to look into this. It's just too convenient after the recent driving mishap. I'm sure Karl Rove is in on it. Get Henry Waxman on the phone and lets go!

Absolutely Agree Joe...Absolutely Agree...

...and the true depth of the hatred the leftist have for others will come shining through once again.
