#1 Frustration Over Corzine Not Buckling Up

No anger here. Just a stolid and resolute hope that Corzine suffers every bit of pain his idiotic actions deserve.

#2 Permit me to invite all opposition to the following notion:

Corzine's driver should face charges of abetting the reckless and irresponsible conduct of his Governship.

By making the actions of those who turn a blind eye to the misconduct of their higher-ups into a crime, maybe then they will begin to reconsider their refusal to act.

Corzine's driver should have refused to start his vehicle's engine if all passengers aboard did not secure themselves.

#3 I disagree, Zenster. Why should a driver have to tell the GOVERNOR what to do? I'm sorry that the gov was hurt, I wish him the best in his recovery, but the governor was responsible for his choice not to wear a seat-belt.

While I think the driver should have refused to drive 91 mph, one should not have to tell a governor to buckle up.

#4 I'm with AT1904.

First, The driver works for the governor. Subordinates who don't act subordinate get fired or pushed aside in any organization. Further, Corzine is no Mr. Nice Guy and is not the least bit interested in what a driver has to say. (In fact, blame being shifted downhill is proof of where power lies and how it reacts to challenge.)

Second, Mr. Corzine is responsible for his own actions. Period.

#5 Here in Tennessee if your passengers are not buckled up you, being the driver get the ticket even if you are buckled up.

#7 Dr. Steve made a comment in another thread a few months ago about doctors "temporizing" their care in the case of a VIP bigshot because no one wants to be the one who tells the bigshot the bad news. The same phenomenon is at work here. If the VIP isn't following safety rules, and he's one who likes to throw his weight around, few underlings would be forceful enough to push the issue--and fewer still would do it and get to keep their jobs.

#10 As I recall, the driver was a state trooper himself, who not only allowed his passenger to ride without belting himself in but also was flying down the road at 91mph.

Further proof that the laws are for "the little people."

#11 Ah C'mon now , everybody KNOWS the cops don't bother with themselves keeping the laws, that's for the folks they RULE OVER.

Can't recall when I've last seen a trooper traveling anywhere near the speed limit. (Any speed limit) City cops or Sheriff's either.

Have you?
