Bob Novak, the eternal GOP hall monitor who was recently diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, has taken up the pen again to warn of the McCain campaign’s continuing flirtation with naming Joe Lieberman as Johnny Mac’s running mate.

Novak: “Reports of strong support within John McCain’s presidential campaign for Independent Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman as the Republican candidate for vice president are not a fairy tale. Influential McCain backers, plus McCain himself, would pick the pro-choice liberal from Connecticut if they thought they could get away with it.”

Novak goes on to say that some of Tailgunner Joe’s GOP pals finally had to prevail upon him to convince McCain the idea would bomb with the party’s anti-abortion rights base.

Update: On Thursday, the Lieberman buzz persists. New item here.
