Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) had a close call with a passing Amtrak train on Friday during a press conference dedicated to commuter rail safety.
As Blumenthal stood behind Milford Mayor Ben Blake while he spoke, he narrowly dodged an oncoming train himself — inadvertently demonstrating the importance of, you know, staying behind that yellow line.
Interestingly, Blake was saying “safety as you know, is paramount” right as the train zipped by.

hilarious. that was so close to being a government improving event.
could have been more hilarious:
Damn! We just can’t catch a break.
Really!
Bingo!
As Daffy Duck would say…”What a Maroon!”
The Prince of Prevarication could also accurately be described as a “moroon.”
The “Iron(y) Horse”.
Guess no one ever told the Senator that you’re not supposed to stand on the yellow paint, especially with your back to the direction of traffic, but then rules are just for the little people.
run away train!
Had that train been twelve inches more to the right, 50% of the newspaper photographers in the State would have ended up in the unemployment line.
Brylcreem . . . a little dab’ll do ya.
Two boobs on the train!! Blake is just as imbecilic!
Aw, come on now boys. It was his first time on the train.
No doubt there will be forthcoming emergency legislation to regulate that the Yellow Safety line increase In width from 12″ to 15″ and the hue be changed from standard OSHA Safety Yellow to OSHA Safety Yellow ANA 505.
(you can’t fix stupid)
