Only the good die young.

I’d give him points for this if his car hadn’t been clocked going over 70 mph on the way home from the hospital.

Because, while he will now wear a seatbelt, he can foresee times that his majesty may need to be delivered somewhere at such speeds again.

Is this a poll? How do I vote?

Also, the Bloomberg story notes that the state trooper driving the governor's car was going 91 miles an hour on the Garden State Parkway, which is at least 26 mph over the speed limit. Why does Corzine's spot focus on the dangers of not wearing a seat belt rather than speeding?

This was a more a factor in this accident and the injuries suffered, than the seat belt factor.

Maybe he really is dead, and it’s only the supermarket tabloids that think he’s still alive.

A Political Ploy typical of the Leftist Politician diverting focus from meddlesome grandstanding in the Imus/Rutgers brouhaha.

Corzine was on his way to meet with Imus/Rutgers Team at the time to grab headlines.

Not wearing a seatbelt and now coming out as the learned victim of not wearing it is simply a ploy to remake himself as the good guy victim of misfortune. He learned his lesson well.

[Cicero]

Smart politics.

I’ve heard his ad so often that I’m beginning to wish.

As for seat belts, I think people drive much more recklessly than they used to because they think the seatbelt is protecting them.

[MinuteGal]

This is an overtly political ad of which the pricey production and mass airing is undoubtedly being paid for by someone else.

A masterful stroke by the 'Rat Corzine to turn his personal lemon into lemonade.

The lumpen voters will avidly suck it up through the straw of ignorance.

It was all a publicity stunt for this weekend’s $30 million “Click it or ticket” campaign.

[BenLurkin]

Isn’t that how algore starts his ‘lectures’?

[Brilliant]

He would be just as good a governor if he were dead.

[The Lumster]

Does it really make sense for Corzine to assert that he "should be dead

The other factor here that everyone seems to have overlooked is the fact that even though he was not wearing a seat belt he was riding in a big heavy SUV.

Had he been in a smaller, more eco-friendly vehicle he most likley would be dead.

[TopQuark]

Why does Corzine's spot focus on the dangers of not wearing a seat belt rather than speeding?

The question I have is, Why was the governor above the law? And now he is moralizing to me regarding the seat belts?

No media, even conservative, seems to have brought up this question.
