I’m still a fan and all, and still wish him a speedy and total recovery, but I am pissed that he wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
Look, wearing a seat belt is an easy law to follow, and a law that saves lives. For the governor of a state to be a scofflaw in that regard is just…it’s childish.
There’s no good reason not to wear one except being whiny. Corzine is a tall guy, so he doesn’t experience the discomfort with seat belts that short folks have (they cut us across the neck). And, it’s the law. He’s the governor. Criminey, it’s just stupid and irritating and maybe if he’d been wearing it, he’d be much less injured. Hell of a dumbass way to learn your lesson.
My boss called it. It was the first thing he said, that it sounded like he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, and that no one would bring that up.
So score 1 for Dave, and we are glad it’s getting attention.
And in all fairness, score 1 for Corzine’s office for admitting it. A Republican governor would’ve had some big dumb Seatbeltgate.
Bucklegate.
(yes. that boss.)
After my little sis got in an accident & dinged her head pretty good on the steering wheel, that was it. Before my car even moves, the seatbelt is on, and if someone is riding in my car with me, they buckle up or I refuse to move. period.
Roberta, I knew who you meant.
Paula, all the more reason that the governor of the state should do so. Not to mention the state trooper who was driving. What I’m saying.
