Robert Novak made news earlier this week when he cited a source within the John McCain campaign that claimed that the veepstakes were nearly over and McCain would make an announcement very soon on who the choice would be for his Vice presidential running mate. While we all wait to see if Novak and his source are correct, there was a bit of an accident in Washington, DC on Wednesday involving Robert Novak.

According to a report from TMZ.Com Novak was wheeling through Washington, DC in his Corvette when he apparently struck a pedestrian and sent him flying, witnesses claim. The 77-year old columnist (full disclosure - he is syndicated right here at The National Ledger) struck a 60-year old man and kept driving, reports Politico.

The political pundit known as the "Prince of Darkness" in some circles says he doesn't know when he hit the man and wasn't aware of it until someone pounded on the hood of his Corvette and screamed at him. Novak kept driving in his black Corvette after he hit the man until a cyclist caught him and yelled at Novak that you can't just hit someone and keep going.

In a video online, Novak says is a street interview that he had no idea that he hit the man. Reports claim that Novak was cited. See the video online here at Politico. Oh, and there is still no veep announcement from the McCain camp.
