Corzine: Do As I Say, Not As I Do
TV viewers during election season are used to hearing, "I'm [fill in a politician's name], and I approved this message." They're not quite as used to...
"I'm Jon Corzine, and I should be dead."
That tagline is at the beginning of a new public service announcement from the governor of New Jersey, who was seriously injured in an April 12 car crash on the Garden State Parkway. Corzine wasn't wearing a seat belt at the time, which he publicly apologized for when he left the hospital after an 18-day stay to treat his broken sternum, leg, ribs and collarbone.
"It took a remarkable team of doctors and a series of miracles to save my life when all I needed was a seat belt," Corzine says in the ad.
AP has the script and video of the spot.
