Bob Novak Has a Brain Tumor

Columnist Bob Novak, who was involved in a highly publicized traffic accident the other day, has announced a health setback:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Washington journalist Bob Novak, 77, has a brain tumor, he announced Monday.

"I will be suspending my journalistic work for an indefinite but, God willing, not too lengthy period," Novak, a long-time Washington insider, said in a written statement.

He does not yet know whether the tumor is malignant or benign, and is waiting for a biopsy in the next few days, said his assistant, Kathleen Connolly.

We wish him well.
