Get out of my way!

A Westchester County, N.Y., police officer, who was injured Sunday while trying to stop a van carrying Hillary Clinton that had run a Westchester County Airport security checkpoint, said the vehicle was driving so fast he feared it was a terrorist attack.
"I didn't know if we had a terrorist," Officer Ernest Dymond told the Washington Times late Tuesday about the troubling incident that has been largely hushed up by most of the rest of the media.
When he learned that he'd stopped not a terrorist, but Sen. Clinton, Dymond said he "was even more agitated that [her Secret Service driver], of all people, should have known" better than to run the checkpoint.
According to Dymond, Mrs. Clinton's car came barreling toward his post at a full 35 mph. Dymond was so concerned that he was witnessing a terror attack that he risked life and limb by running alongside the fast-moving vehicle while pounding on the windows.
"What the hell are you doing?" Dymond reportedly shouted at Clinton and her driver as he clung to the black van. Only after Dymond threw his shoulder into the vehicle while banging on its side did Clinton's car come to a halt, about 100 yards beyond the checkpoint, the Times said.
It's not clear whether Sen. Clinton ordered the car to keep going despite Dymond's repeated orders to halt, but the officer told the Times her driver was "quite agitated" when he was stopped and ordered to produce identification.
In the process of stopping Mrs. Clinton's vehicle, Officer Dymond injured his shoulder and was later treated at Saint Agnes hospital in White Plains.
Secret Service sources later described the altercation as the result of "a misuderstanding," with Clinton's driver confused about whether or not he had clearance to proceed.
Once Dymond was satisifed that the New York senator was not a terrorist, the Clinton motorcade was allowed to proceed to a private jet waiting nearby to take her to a fund-raiser in Syracuse.
Sen. Clinton's office did not return a call seeking an explanation why she declined to immediately tell her driver to stop upon Officer Dymond's order.
You got that right.
Hey! Watch that language! What have PIGS done to be insulted in such a cavalier manner? Talk about Clintoning us.
You are so right, not only do four legged pigs have greater intelligence and better looks than that vile witch, but they are MUCH cleaner and more mannerly, too boot. I forgot myself. But, alas, I do have to acknowledge that hitlery grunts better than your average four legged sow.
I must have had a senior moment....I shall never insult our four legged friends who provide us with marvelous bacon and luscious ham again---at least I will TRY not too! LOL
Sure about that?
And don't forget about her laughing during a WTC memorial service.
Perfectly understandable. You see, he's a new and inexperienced driver. It'll never happen again. /sarcasm off>
Stay well.
"was even more agitated that [her Secret Service driver], of all people, should have known" better than to run the checkpoint.
These are the people I wonder about. I understand oaths and loyalty, but c'mon. Are they being held hostage or maybe it's like a cult. They've been brainwashed and don't realize they are working and protecting with their lives the Bride of Frankenstein.
