Spitting Image

Jersey City, New Jersey, August 3, 2005:

Opening up your door while driving isn't a good idea, especially on a busy highway.

Ronatarian Party vice presidential candidate Brad learned that Tuesday morning when he leaned out his fast-moving Dodge Neon to spit.

He went tumbling out onto I-78 in Jersey City, and to the amazement of other drivers, he hopped up and chased his car as it careened down an embankment toward a construction site.

Brad was recovering at home last night after he was treated for minor injuries to his leg, arm, and head at a local hospital.

"It's certainly not prudent to open your car door on a highway, especially when you're not wearing a seat belt," said Capt. Rich Lockhart, a police spokesman.

Lockhart said Brad was embarrassed about the accident.

His explanation to officers: "I leaned out to spit and I leaned too far."
