I Smell Spin

Secretary of Commerce John Bryson was allegedly involved in two hit-and-runs over the weekend.  In the first one, he crashed into the car in front of him, got out and talked with the three men in the car he hit, then fled the scene without giving any information - hitting their car again as he escaped.  Read about it here.

He then proceeded to hit another car.  He then passed out.  Had he not needed hospitalization at that point, he would have been arrested.

The story coming from the Department of Commerce is that Bryson suffered a seizure, which caused the crash.

While that might be, I find it difficult to believe he could exit his vehicle, have a conversation with the men whose vehicle he hit, and then manage to flee the scene.  This does not sound like a seizure.  This sounds like a character flaw.

Do we need to discuss character flaws in the Obama Administration?

Didn't think so.

US Commerce Secretary Charged

The US Commerce Secretary allegedly committed several hit and run crashes in Los Angeles on Saturday.

"He was cited for felony hit and run but was not booked into jail because he had been admitted to the hospital. His condition was not known."

Take a look at the article.  

I feel confused, bewildered.  This does not corroborate with what we assume about Democrats and Republicans.  Why would the Democrat Commerce Secretary John Bryson, who apparently is a "fierce proponent of alternative energy" commit crimes in a gas-guzzler and fail to stay at the scene?  

I thought only Republicans were supposed to be utterly callous and convinced of their holier-than-thou status.

We hope Secretary Bryson has a full recovery.

And can be booked.
