(CBS) GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine was injured Thursday night in a car accident on the Garden State Parkway, but a spokesman says the injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine was elected governor of New Jersey in November 2006, soundly beating Republican businessman Doug Forrester in a race that set records for campaign spending but alienated voters with its mean-spirited politicking. With 97 percent of precincts reporting, Corzine had 53 percent to Forrester's 44 percent.
You could do a lot worse than the trauma unit at Cooper. If I got shot, I’d want Cooper. Or stabbed. They have experience with that sort of thing there. Bad car accidents too.
My wife, who is a nurse, works for the Kennedy Hospital system. She doesn’t work in any of the hospitals, and, of course, she is particular when it comes to health care providers for her big and extended family. As a rule, we don’t much use Kennedy hospitals.
I know that Cooper did a good job on my grandfather when he was run over by a drunk driver as he stepped off the curb in front of his house. The guy hit my grandmother first and sent her sailing, broke her back and ran right over my grandfather’s legs. They rebuilt them with metal bars. That was in 1949 or 50. My grandfather’s injuries were so bad that they took my grandmother to another hospital so that the trauma team could concentrate on him.
He was the VP of the Radio and TV workers at RCA and my grandmother was the president of the WCTU. Some people have wondered if it was really an accident.
spleen is damaged and lungs too Croizine gave no permission to discuss the lungs via doctors....that came out last nite
So if his ribs punctured his lungs, the Drs aren’t permitted to say anything publicly as per his instructions?
they specifically said they were only allowed to speak to most of the injuries
Shades of Tim Johnson
If you put together 12 broken ribs, a broken sternum, collarbone and vertebrae, it doesn't take much medical knowledge to understand that there had to be internal injuries and that he's in very bad shape.
What's the point of hiding it? Do they really think anyone believes that Corzine will be back on the job in a few weeks??
btw NBC yesterday did say back to work in a few days or weeks.......
They really do think we're all stupid, don't they?
I've seen NJ cops (troopers?) doing that on a two lane road on the wrong side of the road (45 mph limit and a no passing zone). No sirens or lights, of course. If they caught me doing that, they would tear up my license on the spot.
it’s more telling than that. These whiz bang tv anchors are so butt glued that until the text and unified message is sent to all they gotta actually THINK ON THEIR OWN.
The unified message was slow as the “it’s Corzine” was on the screens
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the truck authorities were looking for has been found. The driver is not being charged, he is a ‘mentally impaired’ year old, did know he caused the crash and ‘thought he actually avoided an accident’.

sorry mentally impaired ‘20’ year old
Just as many thought............he didn't know he caused an accident. No charges.
Good.
Can you imagine the public spectacle of this in the Nifong school of justice?
Special needs guy vs. the big, bad super speeding power machine of the no seat belt wearing corzine brigade....
THis has nothing to do with Corzine, though I am from NJ and of course didn’t vote for him: it has to do with your tagline. I have been telling me wife, and whoever else, for about 2 months now that the plus-size Jordin will be the American Idol. Not because she is necessarily a better singer than Melinda, but because she is a full 10 years younger, and that will count for a lot. If I was an record producer or exec I know I would be pulling for her. I have been looking to see if there are Vegas odds on this, but I don’t think they’ve started yet. I would get a bet in if the odds are right, like 10-1 or higher.
Why lights flashing?
