Motorin' Mayor Puttin the Brakes On?

DC is buzzing this morning about our own Mayorlicious Adrian Fenty using his security detail -- sirens blaring, lights flashing to get from event to event. It a practice eschewed by most big city mayors. Both WaPo and WTOP radio have stories (WTOP even has video of the mayor's motorcade. The practice extended to a political fundraiser hizzoner attended a few weeks ago (which most take it outside the statute of limitations for spending tax money on political events, because when Mayorlicious was asked about it on WTOP he said, "oh, well, yes, that was a few weeks ago) and to the Mayor's wife, who showed up in such a motorcade at one function, according to the Post.

Hmm. There's a word I'm thinking of that may describe the early days of the Fenty administration that covers the surprise and sudden announcement of the new policie chief, inability to get the streets plowed and his cavorting event to event. The word is "reckless."
