Not much can make me go wow at 5 am

but this quote did.

"I really hate jaywalkers. I despise them. Since I don't run the country, all I can do is yell at 'em. The other option is to run 'em over, but as a compassionate conservative, I would never do that."

Well why is that quote wow-inducing, you ask? It was from Conservative Robert Novak in 2001 (Reliable Source, Lloyd Grove). Last Sunday he hit a pedestrian in DC drove away. Someone had to chase him down and stop him until police arrived. Robert claimed that "I didn't see him there" although a witness claimed the person hit "is sort of splayed into the windshield."

Lovely.
