Stick to Amtrak, Joe


When is Joe Biden's motorcade going to stop injuring people? The drivers shuttling around Barack Obama's vice president have racked up a series of accidents that would make the worst of the Kennedys blush.
The most recent came yesterday in Vancouver when an accident damaged three of the vice president's vans. The van hit hardest was carrying former figure skating champion Peggy Fleming, former bobsledding champion Vonetta Flowers, and hockey Olympian Mike Eruzione. Fleming and Vonetta were hurt, although not badly.
This is nothing new for Biden's reckless drivers. In November, two more vehicles in his motorcade killed a pedestrian just outside Washington, DC at 2:30 in the morning. A week later, a car in the motorcade collided with another car in Manhattan while rounding a corner. Meanwhile another of the vice president's escorts caused an accident in Albuquerque that same week.
Note to readers: If a loud Irishman with hair plugs in a limousine offers you a ride, don't get in. If Obama is going to insist that we all drive smaller cars, shouldn't he make sure his veep's vans and SUVs stop hurting people?
