Corzine: The Plot Thickens

There's yet another juicy wrinkle (on top of the Imus one, the speeding one, and the no-seatbelt one) to Jon Corzine's car accident the other week: the driver was supposedly confronted about an affair at the worst possible time:

"New Jersey State Police are investigating an allegation that the trooper who was driving Gov. Corzine's SUV two weeks ago when it crashed going 91 m.p.h. may have been distracted by e-mails sent to his mobile phone or BlackBerry.

A Berkeley Heights police sergeant was quoted in the Star-Ledger of Newark yesterday saying he sent an e-mail shortly before the crash to Trooper Robert Rasinski, confronting him over having a two-year affair with his wife, Susan. He said he enclosed a family photo as an attachment."

Wow. Just think. If Rutgers loses in the semi-finals of the NCAA tournament, Imus never calls them "nappy-headed ho's," he doesn't get fired, there's no meeting, Corzine stays home, and the driver's affair is handled without anyone else in the car. The ripples continue.

Rumor is that if Corzine can't get back to governing by Memorial weekend, he is going to resign and it will be time for Codey to finally run for the position he's long deserved officially for years...
