Nanker Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well, he is in charge of helping BO create jobs. Looks like he just created three new ones in one night - repair jobs on three autos. Cheers for the BO administration for this rousing kickoff to the Summer of Recovery III. Winning The Future! No WH leaks were used in reporting or responding to this story.

Cheers for the BO administration for this rousing kickoff to the Summer of Recovery III. Winning The Future! Don't forget the claims adjusters, auto supply shops, auto parts manufacturers, and lawyers. And that's just private sector which is already doing just fine. This will also help to stimulate the woefully understaffed local government jobs with the required police and alcohol counselors that he will have to attend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third paragraph: "He has sustained no injuries and the investigation is ongoing." So, he is both "injured and unconscious" as well as being "uninjured"? Geez, even on this nutty board, we can figure out a cover-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez, even on this nutty board, we can figure out a cover-up. There may be a cover-up. But that 2nd quote from the 2nd article is from the Commerce Department and might have meant to say he sustained no serious injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Geez, even on this nutty board, we can figure out a cover-up. Yes, but even on this nutty board we don't refer to something like a DUI when the article specifically states there was no alcohol or drugs involved.

dayman Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) I know Karl Rove tweeted he was drunk and this board is anti-Obama but when the report says not alcohol or drugs and then it comes out the man had multiple seizures...at some point it's unbecoming of the American people and Karl Rove.

You "know" no such thing. If you’re a staffer for the Karl Rove-run American Crossroads SuprPAC, however, the real blessing was a chance to attack Bryson. The group sent a tweet Monday morning cracking wise about alcohol being involved (Bryson actually suffered a seizure) The tweet, captured by Josh Dorner, an intrepid staffer at ThinkProgress, read “How does @CommerceSec have 3 car crashes in 5 minutes and alcohol NOT be involved? #Skills.” Even “funnier” than that tweet, though, was American Crossroads’ “apology,” via TPM: American Crossroads spokesperson Jonathan Collegio apologized for the suggestion that Bryson was driving drunk. A Commerce spokesperson said Monday Bryson suffered a seizure before he crashed his vechicle into two others Saturday. “The hashtag (about his driving #skills) attempted levity, but it communicated poorly. We took it down,” Collegio said. “I regret the tweet.” Yes, its still despicable, but the left's blogsphere automatic Rove - bad response is bad also. Mediate .

B-Man Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Washington Post Commerce Secretary John Bryson, accused of hit-and-run, takes medical leave Commerce Secretary John Bryson said Monday night that he is taking an indefinite leave of absence to deal with health problems, after officials said the Cabinet member had a seizure while driving Saturday and was involved in three traffic collisions. Bryson’s leave was announced after 10 p.m. Monday. It followed a day of confusion about his medical condition and about the crashes that led to Bryson being cited for felony hit-and-run in California. In a memo released to reporters, Bryson said his leave would last “during the period of my illness.” {snip} Bryson, 68, is the newest permanent member of Obama’s 21-person Cabinet, taking his post in October. His leave ended a tumultuous day in which White House officials conceded that they had not learned of Bryson’s accidents until a full day after they occurred. They acknowledged that, even two days afterward, they did not fully understand what had happened. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm pretty sure it's been proven that it was not drug or alcohol related right? If that's the case can we get the thread title changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
