A relative of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was involved in a minor car collision Monday and was not injured, according to a statement released yesterday by a Boston law firm.

The statement was issued on behalf of 21-year-old Jessica Davies, who is the niece of Romney's wife, Ann. Davies lives in California and has been volunteering on her uncle's campaign in Boston for the summer, according to Nancy Sterling, spokeswoman for the law firm Mintz Levin.

Sterling said Davies was driving on Queensberry Street in the Fenway area about 11:30 p.m. Monday when the accident took place. "She said it was a minor fender bender, and she wasn't even clear she hit another car or anything else," Sterling said.

Sterling said Davies contacted Boston police Tuesday and provided her contact information in case the driver of the other car began searching for her. "She reported it the next morning," Sterling said. "She called police." Alcohol "was not a factor," Sterling added.

1. How is this news?

Anyone?

2. It was reported in the NEWSPAPER, so it MUST be NEWS...

Unless you're implying that somehow our mainstream media has become frivolous or worse.

3. And this is news because.....

... there nothing else going on in the world that deserves attention?

I'd file this under "who the fuck cares"

5. If she lives in CA and it was a minor fender bender,

why did a law firm in Boston have to get involved?

6. Read the FRIKKEN' story....

unless you believe his family campaigns till midnight??? Is involved in a "maybe" accident but "alcohol was not involved" according to a Boston law firm? Reported in case someone else was searching for a car that struck them??? Read as "blind drunk hit and run" followed by cover your ass and a financial settlement-one more thing old "magic drawers" hopes will go away (see:covenant undergarments).

7. Driving a Winnebago for America, perhaps?

That is the Romney ideal of service, is it not?

Ignore that dog strapped to the roof of the car.
