BUT DON’T GET BUSTED!
Police: Schwarzenegger Riding Illegally
By STEVE LAWRENCE, Associated Press Writer
Tue Jan 10, 9:16 PM ETSACRAMENTO, Calif. – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was riding his motorcycle illegally over the weekend when he collided with a car in his Los Angeles neighborhood, police said Tuesday.
All he wants to do is ride around Arnie…
Ride Arnie, ride!
Los Angeles Police Lt. Paul Vernon said Schwarzenegger does not have the proper endorsement on his California driver’s license to operate a motorcycle.
Vernon said police did not ticket the governor for a violation because they arrived after the accident, which caused Schwarzenegger to suffer a cut on his upper lip that required 15 stitches.
Instead, officers referred their findings to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office, which will determine whether the governor should be cited for an infraction. Driving a motorcycle without the proper license can result in fines ranging from $100 to $250 or more.
The city attorney’s office could not immediately confirm receiving the police department’s report.
Earlier Tuesday, Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he never bothered to obtain a motorcycle license because he “never thought about it.”
“I just never really applied for it,” he told reporters during a state budget briefing. “It was just one of those things that I never really did.”
And republicns wonder why they are always being brought to the attention of judges everywhere? These dummies don’t ever “think about it.”
Hey! It was just one mistake, right?
Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson, acting on initial information Sunday, said the governor’s Class C driver’s license allowed him to ride the motorcycle with its sidecar attached. His 12-year-old son, Patrick, who was riding in a sidecar, was unhurt.
But Thompson conceded the governor probably took years of illegal motorcycle rides because he lacked an endorsement on his license that would permit him to drive a motorcycle without a sidecar.
Well ok… So it was just a bunch of mistakes over the years that he never really thought about. Years of illegal riding, eh?
Oh! And never mind recklessly endangering his poor son’s life while certainly setting very poor ethical and moral examples for his child and children everywhere.
Anyone ever notice how it is always the cover up of their illegal efforts that seem to get those republicans in more trouble than their original crimes?
Now… Just why is it the police didn’t ticket this reckless republican rider?
California Highway Patrol officers accompanied Schwarzenegger on Sunday’s ride, but police spokesman Steve Kohler declined to discuss if officers had checked, or would check in the future, whether the governor had a proper license. Kohler said he could not disclose such information because it involved Schwarzenegger’s protective detail.
OOPS! They’re busted too?
Oh well… Just another in a long line of reckless repulican bikers and their brushes with the law.
