And driving a Mercedes. A Mercedes.

Grayson was traveling to an upscale fundraising event for his Congressional campaign.

...

Investigators said Grayson was driving a Mercedes, when he ran a red light and hit the bus.

The event's 1% guests included Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and loudmouthed liberal actress Cheryl Hines.

So Mr. 1% driving his expensive automobile, runs a red light (rules are for the little people) and hits a bus injuring 2 people (obviously part of the 99% if they are riding said bus).

Question:  Why do Democrats hate the poor?

I hope the two injured people sue his pants off!  That would be delicious!  It would be what I call Carma!

Yeah, 'cause aren't we all allowed to run a red light, hit a bus and possibly injure two people and have the cops waive any charges?

60 Because I am a technically a registered Democrat, I suppose, (although I am entirely disaffected from the Dem party and haven't voted for a Democrat since the Presidential primaries before Obama was elected and NOT for Obama) I got a call from the Grayson election phone contribution bank They must be desperate if they are calling a Mid Atantic state. I can't tell you what pleasure it gave me to say that I thought Grayson was a totally crude cook and an absolute bully, that you couldn't pay me to vote for him even if I DID live in his district, that I wouldn't give them a penny and to take my name off their list immediately. I hope they got the unsubtle message, but I'm not counting on it. I hope the person running against him (Is it the same guy he called "Taliban Dan?)"? uses the accident in a campaign commercial

That reminds me.  I saw a car accident on the way to work the other day.  A Prius rear-ended a Ford Mustang.  The the Prius was then rear-ended by a van. The Mustang looked fine with no noticeable damage.  The van was fine too.  The Prius was absolutely totaled. 

As the three drivers stood there by the side of the road I knew instantly who drove what.  The guy looking at the Prius with a smile on his face drove the Mustang.  The other guy looking annoyed drove the van.  The lady sobbing in tears drove the Prius.

Wish I took a picture.

68 Grayson should have been driving an SUV, then he wouldn't be blamed, the BBM headline would have been "Grayson's SUV hits bus"

But as I said before, leftists are madly in love with THEIR money, which is why we have to Go Galt on their business interests.

Which some are doing according to Instapundit;


TheyÂ’re still afraid of her. Meanwhile, I wonder how many people have canceled their HBO subscriptions this weekend?

UPDATE: A reader emails: “I don’t know how many people quit HBO since last week but we did.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: “Please don’t use my name as I’m in the entertainment biz, but I called Direct TV last night and cancelled HBO. The operator told me they have had a TON of calls. He tried to negotiate with me and offer me HBO for 5 bucks for a year. That kind of great deal can only come from on high, but I still passed.”

And reader Doug Jordan writes: “Glenn, I cancelled HBO on Wednesday. The rep asked me why and I said ‘Cost and political content.’ He asked: ‘Bill Maher?’ “Yep.” (Should have added ‘Game Change.’) Clearly, he had heard Bill Maher as a reason for cancellation recently. This was the Cox Cable operation in Fairfax County, VA. I have a conservative friend in Galveston who also cancelled HBO within the last few months and gave political content as the reason.”

Liberal firebrand speaks at Pinellas Democrats' annual dinner

Former congressman Alan Grayson led off with a calm voice and a request for a prayer. A change of heart by the liberal Democrat with a national reputation for caustic remarks? No chance.

"Dear Lord, thank God I'm a Democrat. And thank God I did not have to vote in the Republican presidential primary," he told Pinellas County Democrats on Saturday night. "They're all a bunch of losers," he said of the GOP hopefuls.




"Oh, you were finished? Oh, well, allow me to retort."

113 Portland is the hipster douchebag center of the universe that is collapsing in on itself. Of course, they are always all hot on raising taxes on the evil 1%, and anybody else that isn't them. I've suggested, as an alternative, punitive taxes on fixie bicycles, PBR beer, brewpubs, indie rock bands, tattoos, piercings, and retro eyeglasses. Would improve the city considerably.

114 The media made sure not to photograph the side of the bus he smashed into.
As f'd up as that Mercedes was the aluminum bodied bus must have a big whack in it.
From my experience, Graysons car must have been going 35-40 mph and no braking before impact. There are skid marks from the bus tires going sideways a few feet.

119 OT/ since we're past 100 of the most obvious Grayson jokes:

If you haven't checked out the consolidated Breitbart site, they are outing the incredible bias in the making of HBO's Game Change, and apparently are having an effect on media reporting, and contributing to a deluge in cancellations (Maher's assholery also helping obviously).

From Kos (I read so you won't have to)

 this probably will not help his efforts as a candidate ...  First, he was on the way to a fundraiser.  Not a good image to have as an individual who ran a red light while on the way to get money for his campaign. Next, Police will cite him as the person responsible for the accident, which is damaging.

If he is okay he may no longer be viable as a candidate.  It's not the accident itself.  It's the imagery.  It's pretty damn powerful to run an ad based on this again and again.  Also, I wouldn't put it past the GOP to put it into a character attack.

 

Gee. ya think? I sure hope so.

Not since the late 70s. The Persian Jews with any decent resources had largely all left Iran by then. Those who fled the revolution and became the bulk of the LA Persian community were Muslims, albeit not of the variety fueling the revolution. But a lot of their kids took a funny turn during adolescence and 'finding themselves.'

144 14 Cheryl Hines? To quote Charles Gibson, "Never heard of her." Is she on the cables? Well, that would explain why I had no idea who she was. Silly me, though - I went and looked her up on the wiki. I literally yelped and pushed my chair back when her profile/"bio" pic popped up. Frightened the squirrel chowing on my porch-pot of parsley right off his perch, too (my yelling, not her picture - I'm pretty sure the squirrel didn't have line-of-sight). Wouldn't her fans have posted a more... complimentary photo?
