The most dangerous place in the world...

... is in semicelebrity alcoholic Bob Novak's way.

Journalist Robert Novak plowed into a pedestrian on K Street this morning. Novak said he didn't realize he'd hit the 60-year-old man, but an eyewitness told ABC News that the victim was "splayed on the windshield" of Novak's black corvette and that there was no way that Novak could have failed to realize he'd struck the man. A bicyclist caught up with Novak about a block away from the crash and informed him that he'd just hit someone.

Watch the video. Novak was cited for failure to yield the right of way. I hope they gave him a breathalyser test. He's slurring his words pretty badly, two hours after the accident. Novak starts talking about 55 seconds into the clip, below. At about 1:22, Novak becomes almost unintelligible when the reporters ask him how his victim is doing.

The most dangerous place in AUSTIN is in my way. You'll see more on that later today.

I don't know about you guys, but anytime I run into a pedistrian and have him splayed on the hood of my car I need a few stiff drinks afterwords.

Really ---personally, I try to drink before pedestrian hitting--
lessens the shock of the smack when they first hit the windshield. But then, after works fine too.

Drinking before hunting interferes with my aim. Drinking while driving is a definite no-no: the impact can make you spill your drink.

which reminds me... I need new shocks.
