Wesley Clarkâs Motorcade Busted For Speeding
Polls show Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark doing well as he fights for Oklahomaâs 40 delegates, but the state hasnât been entirely friendly territory for him. His polls are rising... Clarkâs three-car caravan was headed back from a campaign appearance in McAlester to Oklahoma City shortly after midnight Sunday when it was pulled over by a state trooper. Bet itâs not hard to spot a speeding motorcade... The trooper cited Clark staffer Reid Cherlin -- who was driving the lead vehicle carrying Clark and foreign policy adviser Jamie Rubin -- for speeding. Good thing your nameâs not Al Gore Jr. The trooper said he clocked the car at 88 miles per hour in a 75 mile an hour zone. Cherlin said he had set the carâs cruise control for 83 miles per hour. My experience - and thereâs lots - no reasonable trooper writes tickets for 5 MPH over the speed limit, and you eliminate that standard of reasonableness at 10 MPH. Cherlin and the drivers of the two other cars in the caravan were given $150 speeding tickets. Itâs a group thaaang! Posted by: Raj 2004-02-02 |
