Former New York Congressman John LeBoutillier noted this week there's a big difference between the way President Reagan reacted when a police officer in his entourage was injured, and the treatment accorded to Westchester County cop Ernest Dymond by Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Officer Dymond was hurt on Oct. 14 when a van carrying Sen. Clinton blew past an airport security checkpoint. The injuries sent him to the emergency room and more than a month later he remains unable to return to work. (See Hillary's Car Mistaken for Terrorist Vehicle.)

But the sidelined cop hasn't received so much as a call of concern, let alone an apology, from the nation's most-famous elected Democrat. In fact, after the accident, the former first lady didn't even bother to get out of her vehicle and check on how badly it had injured Officer Dymond, according to witnesses.

"When Ronald Reagan was president, he was once in a motorcade where two motorcycle cops collided and were injured," LeBoutillier tells this week's National Enquirer in a front page report headlined "Hillary Mows Down Cop."

"Reagan got out and stood comforting them until the ambulance came," he recalls. "If a president can do that, why can't a junior senator at least stop and ask how this cop was doing after she nearly ran him down," fumed the former congressman, who was elected in the Reagan landslide of 1980.

No mistake there.

I think it's one of those class/no class conundrums.

"If a president can do that, why can't a junior senator at least stop ...?"

It is the difference between class and arrogant

[hflynn]

In fairness to Hillary, her car did stop. Just long enough for Hillary to power down the rear window and say in her soothing voice, "GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU BIG POS!".

[TYVets]

Is there an echo in here?

[Spok]

In July of 1980, I worked as a motorcycle police escort for candidate Reagan when he attended the Utah State Republican Convention in Salt Lake City. When we got him back to the airport, the Secret Service asked us to line up so Mr. and Mrs. Reagan could shake our hands and thank us for the escort. To the Reagans, there were no 'little people'-everyone mattered.

[OK]

It's the psychopath thingee.

[EggsAckley]

Yep.

It's a peat/repeat thingy.

"If a president can do that, why can't a junior senator at least stop and ask how this cop was doing after she nearly ran him down," fumed the former congressman, who was elected in the Reagan landslide of 1980.

Just another example of the differences between conservatives and liberals.

Hey Owl, DOUGFROMUPLANDTHREADPING!!

Thanks for that anecdote. What a difference between genuine and totally phony. Good grief, I hope our film gets though to enough people.

She's a B!tch .
What would we expect ???

[Calpernia]

Tidbit ping

[TommyDale]

It's really too bad that the police didn't treat her like they did the reporter from Italy, and open fire on the vehicle.

[SMARTY]

It's the "Difference between Ass and Class' story.

[SueRae]

Wow, what a wonderful story.

[conserv13]

Of course she should have stopped, of course she has no class. I'm not surprised.

I think it is not fair to say "Hillary mowed down a cop" though.

[lilylangtree]

Hitlery had Monica in the van with her to "talk with her".

[cwb]

Not surprising. This is the same Hillary, while out peddling votes, runs away from homeless people. Liberal compassion.
