Got myself a busy day today, but I’ll weigh in on Commerce Secretary John Bryson’s activities quickly (before coming back to it in the next Hit-and-Run America post). So, per the L.A. Times:
Bryson was driving a Lexus in the 400 block of South San Gabriel Boulevard shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday, when he allegedly rear-ended a Buick as it was waiting for a train to pass, according to a statement released by the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department and the San Gabriel Police Department.
After briefly stopping to talk to the three men inside the Buick, Bryson left the location in the Lexus and then struck the Buick a second time, authorities said. The men followed Bryson’s car and called 911 to ask for police assistance.
Bryson continued to drive his Lexus into Rosemead, which is patrolled by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. There, he allegedly crashed into a second vehicle near the intersection of San Gabriel Boulevard and Hellman Avenue.
There authorities found him alone and unconscious behind the wheel of his car.
1) That drugs and alcohol aren’t thought to be involved makes this worse. He (allegedly) fled under his own volition before passing out in his car.
2) He better have been cuffed to the hospital gurney.
3) Every second he remains employed is a second I will think less of President Obama, and I will be unwilling to defend him.
