No, it's not funny...well, maybe a little

While I think Bob Novak has more than earned his share of ire and spite for his columns and complicity in outing undercover agents, I'm still saddened by the news of his recent diagnosis and grim prognosis. (Sorry, I wish I was better at being bitter, but I have my weak spots.)

That said, the AP story detailing his retirement is missing one critical word. See if you can find it below or click here for the whole story. Hint: last paragraph.

Conservative political commentator Robert Novak has announced his immediate retirement after being diagnosed with a brain tumor.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported on its Web site Monday that Novak's prognosis is "dire.''

The 77-year-old Novak told the paper that the tentative plan is for radiation and chemotherapy but details are being worked out with doctors this week.

Novak has been a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times for decades. He announced late last month he has a brain. The revelation came less than a week after he struck a pedestrian with his Corvette and drove away.
