DRIVING MISS ARIANNA

Reader Doug, who posts at FreeRepublic.com, sent this photo, which he took while covering the Sierra Club's national summit in San Francisco last weekend. The handsome, full-size sport utility vehicle pictured above is a Chevy Suburban. It was sent by the anti-SUV environmental puritans of the Sierra Club to pick up fellow, eco-zealot Arianna Huffington, who gave rousing, Bush-bashing, closing remarks at the eco-summit.

Yes, Arianna "Why I Drive a Toyota Prius" Huffington. Yes, Arianna "SUV drivers enable terrorism" Huffington.

I interviewed Sierra Club national spokesman Eric Antebi by phone yesterday, who confirmed that the group sent the SUV. He blamed an "outside contractor," which he declined to name, for the rather dissonant choice of vehicle.

"It is ridiculous," Antebi admitted. "It's something we regret and we've learned our lesson."

Curious, I asked Antebi whether any of the staff at the Sierra Club headquarters owned and drove SUVs. He stumbled and said the group didn't keep track of who drove what. It's "a personal decision," he explained. "People drive different cars for different reasons."

Well, um, exactly. Now, wouldn't it be nice if these anti-SUV green busybodies took the same attitude towards the rest of us and left our car choices alone?!

If character is doing what you should do when others aren't watching libs do the opposite. The same people who lecture us about the extravagance of our lifestyles. Its good enough for them but woe unto us if we want to live our own lives as we damn well please.

I actually heard you on Roger Hedgecock's show the other day when you mentioned that...and laughed my tail off at the fact that the Leftist twit Huffington and the phony baloney Sierra Club, who in my mind along with other environmentalist whack jobs, are partly responsible for the death toll in New Orleans got caught in their hypocrisy.

He stumbled and said the group didn't keep track of who drove what. It's "a personal decision," he explained.

So why are they concerned about what I drive?

MIDI - DRIVING MISS DAISY

We must save the planet, Arianna says
She spoke to the Greenies and beat up the prez

SUVs are awful, that is what she writes
She will be conserving with all of her might

She's green...Arianna's green
She's green...the enviro queen

San Franciscans got a big surprise
They could not believe what they saw with their eyes

A Suburban had whisked her away
People never thought that they'd see that day
Ha, ha...that hypocrite
Hey, Arianna, you are so full of it

Lib elitists want their way
We should not do as they do but what they say

We must save the planet, Arianna says
She spoke to the Greenies and beat up the prez

Didn't the president of the Sierra Club also had his home made from old-growth trees or something?

Friggin' hypocrites...

When does Emperess Air-head-iana start to claim the SUV was going 'that direction anyway' the way she did with the private jets.

Congratulations, Doug. You have now reached the top of the alternative media, by being in the right place at the right time, and with a camera in hand. Bingo!

Jolly good post and jolly good work, Doug,

[TexasCajun]

Ok, I'm really jealous now.

Not everyone can get Michelle's attention.

Did she call you?

[AmericanChef]

Ooooo - it's a big'un!

I'm sure it was being pulled by horses, and not guzzling gas. The horses must've been out back grazing on the concrete while the Sierra Club was meeting inside a large, energy-sapping air-conditioned building.

[doug from upland]

She responded to my email and got right on the story. Can you imagine the smile on her face as she was talking to the Sierra Club nitwit?

[Echo Talon]

Doug the paparazzi! :) hehe

[planekT]

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

[bray]
