It was big and black.

No, seriously, it has been affirmed that it was a gov. car belonging to the State Dept. Mike McGuinn, the driver, is a security agent for that dept.

I bet Hillary was in the back seat yelling “Go faster, go faster. I need to get home to my vodka and my Camels!”

NYC is the worst. Someone gets run over by a car,bus, or truck every day in that city. (I watch My 9 News).

Mayor Bloomberg wants to ban all automobiles from Manhattan.
It’s usually gridlock 24/7 there. I think he’s on to something.

When I lived there (fifty years ago) traffic was reasonable. My family never owned a car. We took buses and the subway everywhere. Now it’s completely out of control. I don’t even go there anymore.

I live happily now in Bumpkinland, PA.

Or it could have been some of Nancy Pelosi's children being taken to the airport for some pleasure trip.

Bottom line: This story will be removed from public notice within a week.

Remember Biden’s limo hitting someone?? or was that Pelosi’s?

It's only the fools thinking their special that ride aournd in gawdy limos nowadays. Anyone with a brain left moves around much more discreetly in today's world.

Most of the televised garbage regarding dignitary motorcades etc is geared for the morons and spectators...They use decoys for the real insiders, and the limos are filled with props.

Not if he makes the very natural reaction to turn his shoulders away from the striking vehicle.

I mostly agree: I think he's on something.

If you go to 22nd and M with Street View, there’s a Walgreens on the corner. The CVS at 2240 M is in the middle of the block, on the other side of M towards 23rd. There is a light in front of it, but no crosswalk, and I believe the light is for the firehouse across the street, on the corner of M and 23rd.

M and 22nd are both one way, and the description makes sense if he was crossing M, facing the traffic on 22nd to his left, going towards the CVS to his right. The illegal left turn would have been a “left turn on red” from 22nd on to M which would seem like a right turn on red because of the one way. If this is correct, the car would have come at him head on, as he described.

The only discrepancy is that the CVS is not on the corner of 22nd and M, as would be implied by his phrase, “on 22nd and M”. This would have to be amended to “on M near 22nd” to be strictly correct, but I don’t think this is too much of a stretch.

Maybe one week was an optimistic forecast.

How about one day?

I don’t know why this government security worker thought he could walk away from this with no consequences.

Lon Horiuchi took off Vicki Weaver's head with no consequences (to him).

Yes—we will never forget that abuse of government power.

Here’s the latest on Jim Treacher. He had knee surgery and has 3-6 months of rehab ahead of him.

Still no word if Mike McGuinn has gotten a traffic citation yet.
