New Jersey Governor John Corzine, who in April was in an accident that nearly killed him when his driver was flying (literally) on the Garden State Parkway and he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, has done exactly what I said he was going to do.

The day after his accident, I wrote the following:

Expect any and all of the following from the crash dummy:

1. New PSA’s about the importance of seatbelt wearing lest you end up like him.
2. A spate of enforcement, the likes of which will lead people to think that everything is safer and the government is looking out for them.
3. A bunch of schmucks commending him for his bravery but not condemning him for his blatant and obvious stupidity.

We’ll keep you posted as any of those develop.

Well… Here’s #1:

We’ve already seen enough of #3, and I don’t live in New Jersey so I don’t know if #2 is happening but something tells me it is…

Anyway, just thought I’d share.
