We’re supposed to be able to look up to our lawmakers and representatives as the role models for this generation and future generations to come. Their behavior is supposed to be beyond reproach. I guess Governor John S. Corzinne didn’t get the memo, or else he chose to ignore this fact when he decided to go for a joy ride in his SUV while doing 91 in a 65mph zone.
Good thing the guy didn’t seem to have heard about all the Lamborghinis for sale and other cars perfect for racing.
The funny thing is people are actually sending in get well cards to him and calling this a sad accident, and in some cases, a tragedy.
I somehow doubt these same people would feel that way about a 17 year old boy going for a joy ride in his parent’s Jag and crashing it. So what’s the difference here?

A very good question. Celebrities/politicians seem to need help and understanding, whereas regular folks need punishment and jail time.
You’re right. It’s almost as if the fact that you have a position of authority or power means you have a carte blanche and cannot be held responsible for your own actions.
