Elitism is what Hurt NJ Governor Corzine

By now most people know that NJ Governor Jon S. Corzine was involved in a serious vehicle accident and is in very bad shape in the hospital. It will be months before he recovers from this accident. Corzine was on his way to the Governor’s Mansion to meet with Don Imus and the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team. That meeting was not an emergency and there is no reason that the Governor needed to treat getting there as if the world was ending.

An yet, Corzine’s police driven vehicle was traveling 91 miles an hour in a 65 mph zone with the emergency lights flashing. Corzine was also not wearing a seat belt. There is no reason that Corzine needed to be going this fast. The police officer driving him had no reason to be speeding nearly 30 miles above the posted limit. No reason except this elected official and his police officer driver decided that the rules that apply to the others on the road do not apply to them. One sees this all the time with police officers who sped down the highway going well over the limit. These are the same people who will write you a ticket for speeding.

Corzine was going to meet with people who were reconciling a difference. He was not going to an earthquake or another 9/11. He was not going to anything important enough to risk his or anyone else’s life on. Corzine nearly killed himself to get to a meeting and how great would it have been if he had killed someone else on the road just so he could get to a meeting that amounted to nothing more than a photo-op for him?

Elitism, the idea that one is above the rules expected of all others, is what caused Corzine to get injured. They should fire the cop driving him and Corzine should be charged for not wearing his seat belt. Voters there should also consider his blatant disregard for the lives of others when they next go to the polls.

Having said that, I wish him a speedy recovery and pray that he heals quickly.
