You are absolutely correct that Governor Corzine's outrageous order to speed is not being highlighted. He was the man in charge in that vehicle and I'll bet he was telling the driver to go even faster before the impact happened. Trying to blame those innocent motorists who happened to be on the road as his motorcade approached is outrageous.

The press is also NOT making a big deal of the fact that virtually all of Governor Corzine's ribs were broken. You want to know how that happened? I'll tell you how:

I'll stake $5,000 that Governor Corzine died on the side of the Garden State Parkway and those hero troopers revived him with their quick-thinking and perhaps slightly over-enthusiastic CPR technique. This is the same reason he is offering to pay his medical bills and rehabilitation costs...he doesn't want it to surface that he died and the very men for which he holds contempt saved his billionaire life. Having four guys who each benchpress 275-lbs manually compressing your heart tends to have a negative impact on the ol' ribcage.

Do you have any proof of this, or is it just conjecture?

You'd better not throw around your money so loosely. The chance of survival of cardiac arrest from trauma, even with CPR, is less than 1%.

A more likely possibility is that he hit his chest on the dashboard when he decelerated from 91 mph. That's a lot more than 275 lbs. of force. Lucky he didn't shear his aorta.
