WHAT?
From the plausible deniability files (emphasis mine):
Candidate for governor says he did not cause fatal accident
HARRISBURG — Charlie Gerow, a Republican who announced his candidacy for governor last month, said Friday that he is cooperating with a police investigation into an accident in which a motorcyclist was killed, and that shut down the Pennsylvania Turnpike for seven hours.
Gerow apparently drove for several miles with the motorcycle stuck to the front of his car, according to a witness. In a statement through a spokesperson, Gerow said he did not cause the accident and he was not injured.
Well, thank Dawg that Gerow was uninjured and how dare that motorcyclist attach his bike to Gerow’s grill! Why Gerow ought to sue!
And that’s the party of personal responsibility in a nutshell: deny, deny, deny.
As one does when you’re in an accident you didn’t cause …

I find myself wondering how they plan on getting access to the samples. Wouldn’t want the “wrong” result, now, would they?

Oh, criminy –
Allegedly, the authorities are literally working to build a case that blames the victim.

Do you mean “Cri-yi-yi”?
Plus, read the fine print: your number of motorcycles stuck to the front grill may vary.

“Motorcycle on my car grill? What motorcycle? There is no motorcycle attached to my car.”
Not too plausible deniability.

Has Gerow gone after the motorcyclist’s estate for damage to his vehicle yet?

from nbcphiladelphia.com
A highway construction worker told Spotlight PA/The Philadelphia Inquirer that he was working on the turnpike’s eastbound lanes Wednesday night when he saw a Mercedes pass by with a motorcycle wedged into its grill.
The worker, Nicholas Forgette, who works for a traffic control company in Pottstown, said sparks were flying from the car and that it was traveling at a high rate of speed. He and his crew, he said, watched in disbelief.
“It was a big motorcycle, too,” Forgette said. “There were a bunch of sparks. And it was very loud.”
As construction workers moved down the highway, Forgette said he saw that state police had pulled over the Mercedes several miles after where he had first seen it drive by with the motorcycle still attached.

Maybe the biker was trying to commit suicide, like the pedestrian Jason Ravnsborg hit in South Dakota. Yeah, that’s probably it.

I actually went to H.S. with that f*cker. He was a year ahead of me, and his brother was a friend of mine. Yes, he was a loud-mouth obnoxious asshole back then. Oh, and it was a fundy, teetotaler private school outside Philly. (I eventually escaped that hellhole culture).
