Just when its getting fun, Robert Novak, 73, the veteran columnist and one of the hosts of CNNs Crossfire is going to be hobbling.
Early Friday morning, the day after the first presidential debate in Coral Gables, Fla., Novak slipped in in his Miami hotel room shower and broke his hip, a source told B&C. Novak and his Crossfire counterpart Paul Begala were in Florida to fire at each other for Thursday's show and to help with CNN's coverage of the debate.
The source said Novak will require a partial hip replacement, but had no estimate of how long that will keep him off the campaign trail, or at least trailing far behind it.
But the source also reported that Novak was busily editing his column on the laptop computer in his hospital room.
Tucker Carlson announced this on Crossfire today. I hope he has a full and fast recovery.
Poor guy! My hubby just had a total hip replacement about 10 days ago.
Maybe he slipped on the BS that was spread all over Miami last night....
Hope he get well soon..
This just... in I've fallen and I can't get up!
Too bad for us that Novak will be out of action until probably
after the election. I hope he heals ok.
I don't much like Novak but I hope he heals well from this nasty injury that I wish on no one.
When I read the headline, I was hoping the hip Novack broke BELONGED to Paul Begala....

My man Novak needs a "hip" transplant and I'm the donor!
A prayer for 1/5th of the Capitol Gang.
Hope all goes well for Novak!
Dang. I'm sorry he busted his lip. That will make his pouting very painful.
Your fans said,"break a leg" Mr. Novak-not a hip, doggone it!
Get well fast, this is no time to be taking a vacation.
too bad he didnt fall on that POS BeGALLSme and break his neck ... he is one that is so clearly a lemming, and would jump off the hightest mountain for the Liberal party is disgusting he gets to breath fresh air......
I feel bad for Mr Novak ..
ROFLMAO!
Exactly what my Mom's doc said. Hips have a way of wearing out as you get older.
He can still beat [Paul 'The Forehead'] Begala from his hospital bed
Easily.
I wish Mr. Novak a smooth and speedy recovery.

Novak, in the shower, is fortunate he didn't hit his head and do worse damage.
Poor guy can't get a break.
