The Los Angeles Times reports that Robert Novak, the columnist who 'outed' Valerie Plame as a CIA agent, was driving his black Corvette to work in Washington this morning when he hit a pedestrian. The victim, a man in his 60s, was taken to George Washington University Medical Center with 'very minor injuries', said D.C. Fire Department spokesman Alan Etter. Novak, cited for failing to yield a right of way and fined $50, is no longer taking press calls.

Rico says word is Novak was not talking on his cellphone when he hit the guy, but how clueless do you have to be to hit someone and not notice: "I didn't know I'd hit him. I really didn't have any idea it happened until they flagged me down and told me."
