There's a price to be paid for moonbattery. Costs for this debacle will start at $9.6 million:The Boston-area transit authority trolley driver who allegedly slammed into another train while text-messaging his [sic] girlfriend Friday was hired as a minority because of his [sic] transgendered "female-to-male" status and had three speeding tickets on his [sic] driving record in recent years, ABC News has learned. Aiden Quinn, 24, was born Georgia Quinn and boasts on an Internet networking site that he [sic] was one of the first transgender hires by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. The trolley driver lists his [sic] sexual orientation as "FTM" and was hired as a minority using his [sic] transgender status, two sources told ABC News. "[Quinn] was initially hired as a minority and used her transgender status,'' an MBTA source said today. … The Green Line trolley Quinn was driving rear-ended another trolley that was stopped between two underground stations in downtown Boston on Friday night, injuring 46 people, and he [sic] told police he [sic] was texting at the time of the crash, officials said. Three of four trolley cars were crushed and MBTA officials estimated the cost of damages from the crash at $9.6 million. No doubt the ensuing lawsuits will make $9.6 million look like an Obama budget cut. But that's okay, taxpayers have plenty of money. Despite being sexually correct from the viewpoint of our moonbat masters, Quinn may not be the ideal person to put at the controls of a streetcar: Federal investigators have said the crash was not caused by mechanical problems, but was a result of the operator running through a red light and a yellow light before the collision. "Then the train encountered a yellow signal and a red signal. The point of collision occurred 80 feet past the red signal," NTSB board member Debbie Hersman told Boston ABC affiliate WCVB. Officials said the trolley Quinn was driving was traveling at 25 mph when it hit the waiting train. They said it was not clear whether Quinn was braking, but if he [sic] wasn't, the idling train would have been visible for at least 13 seconds before it was struck. We'll never know how many competent and responsible people were passed over so that the operator job could go to a pervert of political privilege. On a tip from Gregory of Yardale.
