YONKERS - A bizarre accident at Westchester County Airport involved Senator Hillary Clinton's entourage Sunday.

Sources tell News 12 Westchester that a vehicle in Senator Clinton's security team tried to bypass a mandatory check point at the airport, which has been under a heightened state of alert since the terrorist attacks. A county police officer attempting to stop the vehicle from getting through injured his shoulder. That officer was taken to Saint Agnes Hospital in White Plains, and his condition is not known.

Senator Clinton, who turned 54 Sunday, was en route to board a private jet to an unreleased destination. The former first lady could not be reached for comment.

The police shoulda considered using brother-in-law as a speed bump.

Title liberal press meant to use:

Senator Clinton's Car Undamaged After She Runs Over One of New York's Finest

I think a nice round figure like - $8 million - that sounds about right!!

[gumbo]

Let's see if this gets as much publicity as Congressman J.C. Watts's little altercation at an Oklahoma airport.

[[Slapping self]] Oh silly me, of course not. Watts is a Republican!

If that was your mother would you seat her so close to a KNOWN sexual predator?

[areafiftyone]

LOL - They already use him as an airbag.

What a shame it is that someone there didn't empty a submachinegun's magazine into the car's passenger compartment...

No, they need the Guard there with a hummer with an M60 on top. Running down a cop at an airport checkpoint is an act of war nowadays, and the entire convoy should have been brought under fire.

And for the bigger airports, a Bradley with its 25mm chain gun would not be out of the question.

Any chance of finding out whose Jet it was??

How DARE a mere policeman try to get in the way of Queen Hitlary? Off with his head!

[McGavin999]

Let's see. An officer of the law was run down by Hillary's crew, injured his shoulder, and the headline says Clinton OK. Does anyone else think that's a little sick?

[Endeavor]

That photo is BRILLIANT!!!

[SmartBlonde]

That's what I want to know. Must be some Freeper somewhere who can find out. Is NY's Senator afraid to fly on regularly scheduled flights?

BTW, do private plane trips count as 'gifts' to Senators?

[Endeavor]

I'll bet the driver was Martha Stewart. She and Hildebeast share the same political bent, and both have shown they're capable of running people down w/an SUV.

[DoughtyOne]

Barbara would beat that wimp to a pulp if he tried anything. Look at that look on his face. On one side you've got his plan B, and on the other a woman who'd take about three seconds to have him in a half-nelson on the way to popping his neck like a turkey wishbone. I love it!

THIS is the problem! These SOB's like Senator Buh-Bette! pass these damn insane ineffective laws that require US to show up 3 hours early and answer damn fool questions,yet these laws don't apply to THEM because they get bribed with private jets.

I am suggesting right here and NOW that somebody here on FR start a thread DEMANDING Congress pass a regulation REQUIRING all gooberment officials to fly commercial,regardless of if they are elected or appointed!

Maybe we can make this sort of a "cyber-petition" that can be handed-off to somebody like Ron Paul or Bob Barr?

[Irma]

Check out #6.......perfect!

[sneakypete]

I wonder if they ever got a chance to search the vehicle.

Of course not. There is no way in hell the SS is going to let anybody search or have access to the vehicle used by anybody they are protecting. Why do you think Buh-Bette! refused to give them up?

A county police officer attempting to stop the vehicle from getting through injured his shoulder.

This wording makes it sound like the officer had an unrelated mishap, when it's pretty clear from the article that the Clinton vehicle slammed into the guy...

[Redbob45]

"So what happens if I try to "bypass" a security checkpoint?"

I'll give you a clue: You best be bulletproof!
