The New York Times, via Drudge, reports that New Jersey Gov. Corzine apologized for having his chauffer drive like a bat out of hell in an attempt to make it to the Imus-Rutgers basketball team meeting:
FLORENCE, N.J., April 30 — Gov. Jon S. Corzine apologized to New Jersey residents Monday as he left the hospital 18 days after a devastating car crash in which he was not wearing a seat belt and was riding in a car traveling at more than 91 miles an hour on the Garden State Parkway.
“I set a very bad example,” said a contrite Mr. Corzine, who broke his left femur and 11 ribs in the accident, speaking from a wheelchair just outside Cooper University Hospital in Camden, N.J.
Of course, upon leaving the press conference, Corzine quickly showed us the difference beetween an apology and a sincere apology:
No one in the motorcade used emergency lights, as his driver had been doing at the time of the accident. They kept to a pace of about 70 miles per hour, even though the posted limit is 55 on the stretch of Interstate 295 that leads to Drumthwacket, the governor’s official mansion in Princeton, . . ..
Classic.

You just can’t make this stuff up….

Liberals do it all the time!
Reminds me of the Congress man in South Dakota who bragged about his ridiculous driving record and than killed a grandfather on his Harley and got 30 days in jail and served 15 and got off.
What was his name Janklow ?
Dov,
I don’t know, but would be interested in knowing. Was he perhumps (I love that term, Katfish!) a Democrat?
I’m sorry Neocon. I voted staunchly conservative (often wonder why)
“The blunt, tough-talking Republican, one of South Dakota’s most powerful political figures, served as attorney general for four years in the 1970s and 16 years as governor before being elected to South Dakota’s lone House seat last year. ”
No he wasn’t a Democrat, he was a politician and that seems to spoil em all.
Come on folks… It’s New Jersey…
Whaddayaexpect?
Another “Do as I say, not as I do” nanny state politico.

As a young man, I was a briefcase carrier in a huge anti-trust suit in which (then) Governor Janklow (he was later elected to the House of Representatives) testifed. He was the most entertaining witness of the month-long trial. So it should be for a politician, right?
