"Bad Example"

(Fox News) - Just moments after he apologized for setting a bad example by speeding and not wearing his seat belt — New Jersey Governor John Corzine yesterday got out of the hospital he's been in since his high-speed SUV crash — and left in a motorcade that reportedly exceeded the posted speed limits by as much 15 miles per hour.

Media reports say motorists traveling along Interstate 295 clocked the vehicles at 70 miles per hour in zones posted 55 and 65. They report no one in the convoy was using emergency lights. Corzine sustained multiple fractures April 12 when his SUV reached speeds up to 91 miles per hour and clipped a guardrail.
