The Sissy Wants You To Forsake Your SUV
From Ben Smith writing at Politico:
Speaking to machinists in Florida today, John Edwards said he'd expect Americans to sacrifice their inefficient cars, and specifically to give up their SUVs, AP reports.
But campaigning turns out to be a pretty high-carbon practice. All the candidates ride around, particularly in Iowa, in big cars — Hillary rode an 18-wheeler; Obama rented an RV; and Edwards, whose convoy is often mini-van centric, had this Cadillac SRX Crossover (15 mpg) beside him in Iowa on his arrival from announcing his candidacy for president in New Orleans, according to his Flickr stream.
[...]
Edwards spokesman Eric Schultz says [the Edwards family buys] carbon offsets for the vehicles, and adds:
"John Edwards believes that all Americans need to be patriotic about something other than war, and that means conserving at home, at work, and in the cars they drive.
Sissy: Make-up kit?
Other Guy: Check!
Sissy: Hair dye?
Other Guy: Check!
Sissy: Hand held mirror, brushes, combs, hair spray, gel, conditioner?
Other Guy: Check!
Sissy: Carbon offsets, or at least that's what we're telling the great unwashed?
Other Guy: Check!
Sissy: Am I supposed to drive this thing myself?

He's a damn turd. I say we take a page from the Libs and start yelling about our civil rights being violated! If they try to mandate what we drive, we call them bigots and hate-mongers!!!
Give 'em some of their own crap.
