Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) took to Twitter today to remember conservative syndicated columnist Robert Novak who passed away today after battling brain cancer since last year.
The Texas Republican invoked Novak’s sinister-sounding alias, the “Prince of Darkness,” in memorializing the 78-year-old newsman:
Novak’s book, Prince of Darkness: 50 years of reporting in Washington is one of the best of its kind
The National Republican Senatorial Committee chair mentioned Novak’s nickname-eponymous book about his career as one of Washington’s most high-profile journalists.
Novak was diagnosed with brain in July 2008.
