Is Governor Cuomo the new Joe Biden? Or, let's rephrase that, did Governor Cuomo inherit our Veep's drivers? Because for the second time in two days his drivers have gone and hit pedestrians near the home he shares in Westchester with Semi-First Lady Sandra Lee.

The first accident occurred on Wednesday morning when Sgt. Joseph Crispino hit 22-year-old Dolce Perez on Route 177 in Mount Kisco. She is now in fair condition. Then yesterday evening Investigator Gregory Panzarella struck 50-year-old Jeronimo Ardon Perez on Route 117 also in Mount Kisco (no word currently as to the relationship between the two victims). As of this morning the second victim was listed in serious condition.

To be fair, according to Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto neither the governor or his staff was in either vehicle when the accidents occurred. But still? If you are walking around and see the gov coming our advice is to get as far from the road as possible!
