Ex-Olympians Fleming, Flowers hurt in Biden motorcade accident
   

Source: CNN

February 15, 2010 -- Updated 0250 GMT (1050 HKT)

Vancouver, British Columbia (CNN) -- Two members of the U.S. Olympic delegation -- both gold medalists from previous Olympics -- suffered minor injuries Sunday in an accident as they were traveling in Vice President Joe Biden's motorcade, the White House said.

Peggy Fleming and Vonetta Flowers were taken to a hospital "as a precaution" after a van in the motorcade was involved in a minor accident, according to Biden spokesman Jay Carney. Both were later released from the hospital.

Neither Biden nor anyone else in the motorcade was involved in the incident, Carney said.

The statement did not provide further details about the accident.

1. Weird. What is it with motorcades?
   
Seems like there's been a lot of motorcade accidents. Or maybe I'm imagining things.

2. No. This is at least the third time. nt


What is the problem with Joe "the Gaffe" Biden's motorcade?  Are all of his drivers chosen to be dumber than he is?

Outside of the DUmp, is anyone actually dumber than Biden?

Or was Biden driving?  Just wondering....   :confused:

This is like the third or fourth accident his motorcade has been involved in since Thanksgiving IRRC.

Now that Patrick is quitting, there will be NO Kennedy's in the Congress, so I guess they need something to do.

Outside of crashing cars, bars, parties, and molesting babysitters....

Why are Democrats always hurting or killing people with their motorcades?  I never heard of this happening with President Bush.

If it had happened, the headline would have read "Women, Children, Minorities Hit Hardest".

I read the whole story somewhere else. Apparently, it was the RCMP at the wheel at the time of the wreck. I guess that just being in such close proximity to Plugs causes acute stupidity.

Plugs should have his own warning label....
