Not good news, for Congressman Grayson.

2. Ouch! Glad no serious injuries...

Do they have footage of that light run?

[Son of Gob]

3. Holy smokes

Lucky he didn't get hurt in this.

17. Vehicle reformed as expected

That's one reason.

4. So it wasn't Grayson who collided with the bus.

It was Grayson's vehicle. (The newspaper editor in me prefers specificity. )

6. you do know that Alan Grayson is a longtime DU member?

Admired by many here. Just wonderin'?

7. Then I guess he's earned the right to run red lights and clobber other vehicles?

Wow.

"I LOVE your politics! You go right ahead and ignore those traffic lights."

9. That disgusting commentary does not represent DU. Yuck. nt

10. Sadly, I believe you're right. Accountability doesn't even have a (D) in it. nt

11. Such hatred

Your hatred for Democratic people is noted. Why are you posting here? Your kind of hatred is appreciated at Red State.

[Taverner]

13. Why does DT hate Democrats so much?

Sure, a bunch of them have pissed me off for various reasons - but DT's posts could have come straight out of a GOP Hate site...

16. I won't bring up how you let that cart go loose in the parking lot

denting that truck...


If you promise to try to be nice

[EOTE]

15. Yeah, I'm sure you've never had any traffic infractions your entire life.

Or any other infractions of any kind. People make mistakes all the time. Acting like you're perfect and judging others is pretty pathetic, though.

[BlueIris]

8. Glad there were only "slight injuries."

Not the smartest move. It's not so hard not to run red lights, after all.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

12. Sucks.

It would be nice to see progressive candidates drive union made American cars. Accidents happen, hope everyone's ok.

[Taverner]

14. No one was hurt - good

I wonder if the campaign is starting to wear him down?
