Political columnist Robert Novak dies at 78

As reported here, [p]olitical columnist Robert Novak, a conservative, pugilistic debater and proud owner of the "Prince of Darkness" moniker, died Tuesday after a battle with brain cancer that was diagnosed in July 2008. He was 78.

His wife of 47 years, Geraldine Novak, told The Associated Press that he died at his home in Washington early in the morning.

The Conservative movement has lost a man who, although he at times disagreed with various Republican policies, was deeply patriotic, caring for this great nation of ours - what it stood for, and what it was doing, both domestically and internationally. Robert Novak was not merely a journalist with a Conservative bent, he was a giant among men.

RIP, Mr. Novak. You will be missed.
