Reckless NJ Governor In Car Wreck Enroute To Imus / Rutgers Pow Wow

Avaricious Attempt For Self-Aggrandizement Squelches Publicity Hound's Opportunity To Grandstand

Why did NJ Governor John Corzine feel the need to inject himself into the Imus Fiasco? Was he in such a hurry to wrap up the persecution in time order to make the 6:00 news that he neglected to fasten his seat-belt? His attempt to come under the limelights and capitalize on the debacle back-fired when his speeding SUV collided with a hit-and-run pickup. He sustained serious injuries and will have months to reflect on how his pandering landed him in bed for 6 months.

Exactly what purpose was served in his presiding over the meeting between Don Imus and the Rutgers Girls Basketball Team? And why was it held in his palatial Princeton mansion? Would the entire procedings not have been better served on the Rutgers campus, thereby drawing attention to the school rather than himself?

His vanity endangered his health and possibly his life and may ve ry well have cost him the chance of walking without pain for the rest of his life. Indeed, he'll have a long time to ponder his self-serving tendencies. Daily Poll: Should Gov Corzine Have Injected Himself Into This Controversy? Vote Now!

A broken femur bone sucks. I know, I’ve broken mine twice.

And why was it held in his palatial Princeton mansion?

I'm sure he thinks the mansion belongs to him, but in fact it belongs to the people of New Jersey.

The guy is a two bit fraud.

Oh my God!! Imus is a national crisis !! God save us if our billionare Governor can’t attend the strategy conference on what to do. God SAVE US!!!

[mdefranc]

Last reports have Corzine as being under sedation. At least that’s something.

I predict NJ will double the fine for not wearing a seat belt to ensure another tragedy like this never happens again!

[Cagey]

And, notice a HUGE Gas Guzzlin’ SUV saved the Governor’s life. Had he been a concerned green minded Dem and driving a three cylinder mini-sedan, he wouldn’t be in the ICU right now.

[Boston Blackie]

Please tell me that the Gov wasn’t pimping those ‘scarred for life’ poor victims for his own political gain.....and that his injuries weren’t compounded by his reckless regard of the N.J. seat belt law.

[sionnsar]

Typical elite Democrat. Apparently not wearing his seatbelt, but look at his website -- and guess who's picking up the tab for his medical expenses? "Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our citizens (but we elite are more equal than you)."

[Clint Williams]

Joisey. It figures.

There are good folk there, but I don't know why.

[Cagey]

[tsomer]

When he wakes up we’ll get the usual mea-culpa, the long face, the talks to the school children saying to do what he says, not what he did.

I’m already dreading it.

After that he'll probably require motorists wear helmets.

We’re not as stupid as we seem. We’re stuck here, hostage to mortgages and plummeting resale values.

[operation clinton cleanup]

With all due respect to car accident victims, that is funny! Wonder when the driver of the red pickup truck will be nabbed?

[Erik Latranyi]

Wonder when the driver of the red pickup truck will be nabbed?

If the red pickup exists.

[cjmae]

I’m sure the meeting was more productive without him.
I’m sure he just wanted to jump on the opportunistic band wagon.

[operation clinton cleanup]

If the red pickup exists.

What red pickup? Where was Karl Rove at the time in question?

[AlaskaErik]

I suppose NJ will consider outlawing pick up trucks to avoid this senseless type of tragedy in the future.

[Alberta's Child]

ROFL.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Imus thinks the governor’s name is ‘hozine.
