New Jersey Governor John Corzine was involved in a serious car accident on his way to a meeting with Don Imus and the Rutgers Women Basketball team, in which he suffered several injuries including 12 broken ribs, a broken sternum and a broken leg while riding in his Chevy Tahoe.
Corzine was not wearing his set belt. In the state of New Jersey, the law states that anyone sitting in the front seat of a car must wear seat belt. It is a $46 fine for not wearing a seat belt. The former CEO of Goldman Sachs probably will not have a problem paying the fine, but he might have a problem in his written statement on the inside cover of the drivers-ed books next year. What kind of example is set by a leader breaking the law? That’s like Deb Cady playing beruit in the dorms.
Now I realize that Corzine is in serious condition and I pray for his spe
edy recovery, but how can injuries this serious happen with a belt buckled.
Corzine will be inactive for at least two weeks, and not be able to walk for 6 months. With this in mind he has turned the sets over to Dick Cody. Cody has taught us how to be modest and still become Governor twice; get elected to second-in-charge and wait for the Governor to either get in a car accident or to come out of the closet. By the way I wonder where Jim McGreevey is anyway.
But let’s not dwell on Cody; let’s shift gears to Imus. Why in gods name would Corzine be rushing to meet with a racist radio host and a bunch of “nappy-headed hoes?”
Has America become such a segregated nation that Corzine felt it would be a good opportunity to show his face at this meeting? That’s right, after slavery, oppression, and white/black bathrooms; we are now, more than ever, a segregated society. We don’t hold hands in church during the “Lords prayer;” we feel that the citizen is more important than the community; and we are so competitive that we have started our own civil wars.
Why is everyone so up tight about Imus’ rhetoric; It’s not the first time we have heard this.
So next time a Governor wants to show his state he cares about a problem that can’t be fixed, he better buckle up.
