Pedestrian hit by Novak is elderly, homeless
From WaPo:
The pedestrian who was struck by syndicated political columnist and television pundit Robert D. Novak remained in the hospital today but was sitting up in bed and conversing with a relative and social workers.
After the traffic incident yesterday, police misspelled the pedestrian's name and gave the wrong birth year for him. He is 86-year-old Don Clifford Liljenquist, who has no fixed address. Most recently he has been living at the Emery School Shelter on Lincoln Road NE. He declined through a family member to be interviewed.
I don't think he's going to be homeless anymore. (I wonder if John Edwards is busy.)
Who knew Novacula was a humanitarian?

Wow. This story just keeps getting more and more tragic. First it was thought that the man suffered only minor injuries. Now we find out he's a homeless octogenarian. Tomorrow he'll be interviewed and reveal that he was delivering medicine to orphans when he was run down by Novak.
