Is Imus responsible for Jon Corzine’s car accident?

Screencapped from the intro to today’s “Big Story.” We love us some Gibby, but he’s got to be kidding:

And Imus’ body count just keeps rising. LOL. Well, maybe in the most indirect way possible, Imus can be blamed. Will he be offering profuse apologies for this too?
thedecider on April 13, 2007 at 10:43 PM
Yeah, what a stretch. It was surprising to see this caption. C’mon. I never liked Imus but that’s ridiculous, enough piling on already.
NTWR on April 13, 2007 at 10:45 PM
I heard this on Curtis and Kuby, WABC in NYC this morning. Gave it some thought. Sh*t happens, you know. Not fair to hold Imus to be at fault, the Gov didn’t wear a seat belt nor did he have to moderate, but it was nice of him to do so. He set an example of what happens when you do not wear a seat belt. I am not a fan of the Gov’s politics, but I do not wish him ill (He is one Democrat not attending a meeting with people who want to kill me) I sincerely wish him a quick recovery and best of health in the future.
StuLongIsland on April 13, 2007 at 10:50 PM
Calm down folks! It has to be a tongue in cheek joke.No real “victims” in Rutgers either.Imus sure is a powerful guy tho.*tongue in cheek for you serious minded*
spazzmomma on April 13, 2007 at 10:57 PM
So one of his victims really will be scarred for life.
Jim Treacher on April 13, 2007 at 11:09 PM
Can you imagine the fun that will be had by all if the hit and run driver turns out to be an undocumented pre-citizen?
rw on April 13, 2007 at 11:12 PM
Imus is causing Global Warming!!
MCPO Airdale on April 13, 2007 at 11:12 PM
I don’t know. Maybe Gibson’s being sarcastic.
amerpundit on April 13, 2007 at 11:18 PM
I’m pretty sure this is toungue-in-cheek.
But just wondering:
Gibby’s role in the la’affair Imus has been sorta downplayed hasn’t it?
How’d he do that?
billy on April 13, 2007 at 11:26 PM
Dumbass wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
Khyber Pass on April 13, 2007 at 11:48 PM
What was kinda strange was how quickly the news reported the Corzine accident, and just as quickly moved on to Imus meeting with the Rutgers team…Corzine was all but forgotten…and they still went ahead with a three-hour meeting.
JetBoy on April 14, 2007 at 12:06 AM
Anyone who gets a ticket for driving without a seat belt in NJ should ask the cop if he’s fracking kidding. This should be an implicit pardon for everyone who commits that infraction.
The Monster on April 14, 2007 at 12:17 AM
How in the glockenshpiel did his legs end up hanging out the window? Was there more going on then just seat belt not wearing? Just sayin’

They are doing this whole “find the red Bronco” that started a chain reaction, when in reality the Gov was probably going around 90 (at least according to unofficial witnesses prior to the accident). The Parkway is a race track when there aren’t a lot of cars on it. And he was runnning back to Princeton from Atlantic City after a Mayor’s meeting.
Vincenzo on April 14, 2007 at 12:22 AM
It could happen. New Jersey has a number of sanctuary cities.
thedecider on April 14, 2007 at 12:32 AM
John Gibson’s radio show is the best of all the Fox News talkers, bar none… very well produced show that never takes itself too seriously.
Gibson’s on relatively few local radio affiliates (which is a shame) and has a less-than-desirable time slot in The Beast, but I catch him basically a Drive Time slot here in The Waste on XM 168.
Check out the show–it’s good.
ScottMcC on April 14, 2007 at 1:27 AM
Gibson has one of those sense of humors.
Highrise on April 14, 2007 at 1:31 AM
I’m not a fan of Corzine nor did I vote for him but the guy is in my prayers, he got seriously hurt. Hopefully he gets well soon.
Gibson thing was probably tongue in cheek I’m assuming.
Dash on April 14, 2007 at 1:45 AM
Oh please, everyone knows the Bushinati was behind this entire thing. Rove brainwashed Imus at one of our “secret prisons” one weekend to say “nappy headed hos” when a trigger word was used (like in the Manchurian Candidate). Then Rove rigged the basketball tournament so that Rutgers would win, etc. etc. Corzine is in the hospital, because the Bush World Order team needed a distraction from the failing surge.
RightWinged on April 14, 2007 at 1:51 AM
LOL–I’ll have to remember “Bushinati”–that’s pure comedy gold there!
Vanceone on April 14, 2007 at 1:59 AM
Bite your tongue! I hear it’s a success!
thedecider on April 14, 2007 at 2:16 AM
By the way, I know you were being sarcastic. Just looking for a reason to link that story.
thedecider on April 14, 2007 at 2:23 AM
Yeah.. Imus forgot to strap him in….
George on April 14, 2007 at 2:30 AM
Well the first one is free, and I don’t know what Big Leon told you, but it’s an even thousand if you want me for the whole hour
RightWinged on April 14, 2007 at 2:58 AM
I blame the SUV
Booo on April 14, 2007 at 8:33 AM
In the secret basement room of the white house:
George Bush with a crayola gripped in his fist is furiously coloring in on a comic book pamplet produced by the Mexican government showing how illegals can get over the border. His tongue sticks out slightly out of the corner of his mouth. On his head is a Burger King crown.
Hannity sits there slugging back whisky and eating potato’s as any good Irishman would do.
Limbaugh with a bottle of pills in front of him smokes heavily on a big expensive cigar.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson share a bucket of KFC.
Karl Rove stands at some sophisticated machine on a wall twirling buttons and dials.
Two buxom cocktail waitressess serve all drinks.
Limbaugh: George we really got to do something about this Imus character.
George: Absent-mindedly says uh huh
Karl: On it Mr. President. Karl turns some dials and all of a sudden on the screen Imus’s TV show appears. Imus’s voice can be heard talking about the Rutgers women basketball players. Karl whispers into a microphone and all of a sudden everyone hears Imus say “nappy headed hos”
Imus: Thinking to himself “I meant to say Catholic Schoolgirls … yet nappy headed hos came out … how did that happen.”
Sharpton and Jackson are cracking up laughing.
Sharpton: Karl you are one crazy cracker.
Karl does his signature rap impression.
Sharpton and Jackson are now laughing themselves to the floor.
Jackson can be heard gasping, “Karl quit that is so funny I am going to pee my pants.”
Everyone chuckles.
Karl: There Mr. President, We’ve taken care of Imus.
George: still coloring, says uh huh
Karl nods to Sharpton and Jackson.
Jackson: well take it from here Karl.
Hannity: slaps the black cocktail waitress with a sound smack on the fanny and then pulls her onto his lap. He tells her “how would you like to be my nappy headed ho?”
Waitress: Looking slightly uncomfortable, smiles sheepishly.
Sharpton: Hannity, that sista ain’t gonna have nothing to do with you, you drunk Irish cracker.
Hannity looks like he is about to respond but falls face first into his potato soup.
Limbaugh still drawing on his cigar looks over at Hannity and shakes his head.
Door opens suddenly and Rosie ODonnell is standing there and says Mr President its time for your 3 oclock appointment with Hillary about the transfer of power to her in 08. At 4 oclock you have an appointment with your brother Jeb about him taking the presidency in 2016.
George still coloring simply says “uh huh”
scene fades…

I’d wondered how long it was going to be before someone put those two stories together like that. Even if it were tongue in cheek, it’s not one of Gibson’s brighter moments.
I disagree with Corzine’s politics. I didn’t vote for him. I think it surely wasn’t his brightest act not to be wearing a seatbelt. Having said those things, I’ve met him several times, performed for him several times as a musician, etc., and I can say with authority that he is a decent, well-intentioned man. I wish him only the speediest of recoveries.
What are the Vegas odds for seeing him as the spokesperson for the next Click It or Ticket campaign?
flutejpl on April 14, 2007 at 9:02 AM
potato’s
should read:
potatoes.
thanks,Dan Quayle.
lizzee on April 14, 2007 at 9:03 AM
Did his Rosie deploy upon impact?
Ya know, this idiot probably could have walked away from the accident with a few scratches had he used his seat belt. I haven’t heard of anyone else in the vehicle getting injured – maybe they took the sensible precaution of buckling up. My bet is, they were hauling @ss at 80-90 MPH when the SUV lost control (SUV driver, sorry Rush fans).
It is ironic that a member of the party who wants to legislate the mandatory use of seat belts in every state, gets tossed around like a rag doll and breaks half the bones in his body because he didn’t buckle up – and broke the law in his home state of NJ.
Stay tuned for the issuance of tickets for speeding and riding without a seatbelt. He’s what? The Governor of the state?
Nevermind.

You’re off-topic and incoherent.
Summon a nurse to increase your medication.
fogw on April 14, 2007 at 9:10 AM
Come on now Cat, this is Corzine, not McGreevy! LOL
Seriously though, many, if not most, MVA fatalities are the result of being thrown from the vehicle. While I’d have to leave the dynamics of the accident and mechanism of injury to the experts, I can tell you that some accident scenes are downright confounding. I was on the scene of a one-car accident in which a pickup truck slammed into a utility pole. The driver was thrown through the windshield and his daughter went through the passenger side window. As we were packaging them for transport, a neighbor came running down the road with a small child in her arms whom she had found her on her front lawn about 40-50 yards back from the scene. Police found a few hairs on the sliding rear window of the pickup and figured that was where she was thrown from. Good news: all three survived without major sequelae. Good advice: buckle up!

And you are a cranky bugger.
lizzee on April 14, 2007 at 9:49 AM
Move over Bush! Imus has taken your place as the cause of EVIL in the world.
Troy Rasmussen on April 14, 2007 at 10:17 AM
When do we get the report on Imus’ true victims? Who you may ask? I’ll tell you, the Tennessee Lady Vols that actually won the National Championship have been relegated to the dust bin of
historyminor sports footnotes. Now exactly who’s joy did the I-man steal?RW_theoriginal on April 14, 2007 at 10:34 AM
How much do you want to bet that the driver of the missing red truck is an illegal alien??? Any takers….NJ is fullof them, easy bet!
Mellen on April 14, 2007 at 11:30 AM
I blame the morons in New Jersey who voted for him.
JammieWearingFool on April 14, 2007 at 11:44 AM
Hope he recovers and has learned a lesson about using his seat belt. He should get a citation, we’ll see. Gibson is an idiot.
honora on April 14, 2007 at 11:49 AM
Speaking of giving out tickets, Corzine’s driver was a State Trooper. I hope anybody in New Jersey that gets a seat belt violation ticket from a State Trooper remembers that.
RW_theoriginal on April 14, 2007 at 12:10 PM
Seat belts do not apply to law makers or politicians. Only us cattle.
Wade on April 14, 2007 at 12:32 PM
Heard on the radio that he will likely get a ticket, though they normally don’t ticket people who have been injured in accidents (gilding the lily….). Sort of an object lesson I guess.
honora on April 14, 2007 at 12:56 PM
Seat belts only apply to the “little people”!!!
It would be a hoot if this turned out to be a drunk ILLEGAL.
O’Reilly would have one heck of a time with that. Go Mr. O. You are absolutely correct and Geraldo is absolutely, positively WRONG.
bjb on April 14, 2007 at 2:02 PM
Especially when a NJ State Trooper is at the wheel!
CurtZHP on April 14, 2007 at 2:05 PM
There is probably enough tracking data from cell phone usage to measure the speed of the vehicle, if anyone has the stones to look it up.
pedestrian on April 14, 2007 at 2:50 PM
It’s hard to follow the former Governor Fudgepants ,Jim McGreevey, at least he was gay, or at least an easy way to get out of criminal charges. Corzine is a dope, like the state
nazistroopers. I guarantee they’ll spin this as someone else’s fault and not the fact they were using the GSP as a race track.Kini on April 14, 2007 at 5:02 PM
What heartless morons allowed the silly Rutgers meeting to go on with the Governor close to death? Which one of you would have allowed the meeting to go on?
