It’s a Scandal Metaphor

“The private sector is doing fine!”

Authorities are investigating a series of traffic collisions in the San Gabriel Valley…

[Secretary of Commerce John 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 … 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

Bryson continued to drive his Lexus into Rosemead [where] 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 ca

“Secretary Bryson was involved in a traffic accident over the weekend,” the Commerce Department said Monday. “He was taken to the hospital for examination and has been released [and is doing "just fine!"]. He has sustained no injuries and the investigation is ongoing.”

…Bryson suffered a seizure …

Well, at least it wasn’t “suffering from exhaustion”…

I’m sure it has nothing whatsoever to do with this story:

Los Angeles County officials are investigating what appeared to be a pair of lungs found on a sidewalk in unincorporated South Los Angeles.

    “…Bryson suffered a seizure … probably caused by the effort to explain/defend the Prez’s latest statements about the state of the “private sector”…

    No, he probably was suffering from either a stroke or diabetes onset.

    Stuff like the ability to drive would be one of the first things to go.

    We won’t have to worry about him driving again. But – why was an exalted Secretary of Something driving himself? What are chauffeurs for?

    He probably has a D.C. driver’s license, so they’ll have to revoke it.
