I tend to like Tony Snow. Too bad he chose to axe his radio show.
- OK, that’s out of the way. Now this:
- “If you had a traffic ticket and you paid it, you’re not forever a speeder, are you?” White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said in response to questions from The Examiner.
Huh? You kiddin’ me?
Comparing that to an illegal immigrant is silly.
Let’s adjust Tony’s comparison to make it fit illegal immigration a little better.
I’m speeding. A police officer pulls up beside me and motions me to roll down my window. As we continue hurtling along at 86 mph, he fines me $50. Then he drops back. I continue on at 86 mph while my wife accesses the Web and pays my fine online. And the scenery continues to fly by at 86 mph.
Since he fined me and I paid my fine, am I no longer speeding despite exceeding the posted speed limit?
