Did Lieberman Do It?
Connecticut senatorial candidate Ned Lamont was speaking to a crowd on the New London ferry dock when
a station wagon plowed through the group, injuring 27 people, including three of Lamont's campaign staff.
Joe Lieberman playing dirty? Not yet.
The driver was an 89-year-old man named Robert Laine at the wheel of a
Chevrolet Caprice, which should have been a warning sign right there. (At its peak, the Caprice was 19 and 1/2 feet long and weighed about 4, 800 pounds.) Laine claimed the gas pedal was stuck.
Two questions: Why are 89-year-olds allowed to drive? And shouldn't anyone just looking at a Chevy Caprice run screaming in horror?
The Chevy Caprice wagon: Run!
Your basic Caprice.
Run!
