Doug From Upland's siting Arianna Huggington and Al Gore exiting large vehicles at a conference on the environment in San Francisco has set the blogs afire. But there are legitimate uses for large vehicles. Really there are. The I just don't think one person driving the LA freeways in one because the want to win a collision contest at the expense of the unfortunate person they might collide with isn't one. Neither is having bigger, always spinning wheels than your neighbor. Neither is because you get a tax writeoff for a vehicle you use only for commuting and driving to the convenience store for ciggaretts and Cheesy Puffs.
The Sierra Club is an organization that uses large passenger vehicles wisely, it's the nation's number one outdoor activity organization - the Sierra Club. They use their large vehicles to take people hiking, rafting, etc. When they go afield fill the vehicles with people and gear rather efficiently, using much less gas than if they all drove individual vehicles in groups of 2 or 3. The Suburban they picked Arianna in may well have been the Sierra Club's designated airport vehicle - with features for handicapped (something the Sierra Club is known for) and perhaps airport parking sticker.
As for Gore driving an Escalade. Is that the Escalade that coverts from open-bed truck to enclosed bed (SUV?). And isn’t Gore from an Agricultural state. In fact, if I recall he’s a farm boy; probably lives on a working farm. Sorry city boy but low-ground clearance, two-wheel drive freeway flyers just get stuck in that Iowa mud down on the farm. Once again, if you nail Gore for driving an “SUV”, the BS you smell emanating as he exits his vehicle may be real and I for one am not about to tell farmers and ranchers, or people that have to drive on farm or ranch roads, they can’t have a truck or other large, high wheelbase vehicle.
It's amazing the hunger for fresh liberal blood. But just like the Swiftboat Vets before him. By the time the undamming truth of DFU's charges comes out, the little weasel will have moved on to the next unsustinable smear campaign.
Liberals, you're so easy to mock
I say, liberals, what you say is a crock
Limo liberals, in your mouth stuff a sock
Because we don't want to hear it
Liberals, we have our eyes on you
I say, liberals, we have watched what you do
Phony liberals, all your hubris shines through
From you we don't want to hear it
Hey, Arianna, just S T F U
It is about time you S T F U
You have your stained blue dress, it's a big SUV
Can you say it? HYPOCRISY!
Yes, Arianna, just S T F U
It is about time you S T F U
No more lectures, please dear, credibility's shot
A bad hair day for you, you're caught
Liberals, the new media rules
I say, liberals, you have been shown as fools
Limo liberals, you come unarmed to duels
And no longer will we hear it
Liberals, the mainstream can't protect
I say, liberals, what you say we reject
Phony liberals, you have lost all respect
Because people will not hear it
Hey, Arianna, just S T F U
It is about time you S T F U
You have your stained blue dress, it's a big SUV
Can you say it? HYPOCRISY!
Yes, Arianna, will you S T F U
It is about time you S T F U
No more lectures, please dear, credibility's shot
What a bad hair day, you're caught
S T F U...yes, Arianna, just S T F U
Your blue stained dress is a big SUV
And we mock you for your HYPOCRISY
You owe me--coffee doesn't taste the same the second time.
Not too creative, are you?
Yep, Escalades are right up there with John Deere in some parts.
so, it's not the SUV themselves, but how you use it ? or intend to use it ? provided you use it for something other than you disagree with ?
Got it...
Post #38 reminds me of something I heard on my way to work: today is talk like a pirate day.
It's ALWAYS the spelling.
When the doctor says take your medication every day, he's not kidding around.
1. Among the thousands of people, I saw only a handful of black people there. Gee, don't you libs allow them to go on hikes with you?
2. I spent three days walking up and down 57 stairs. I counted a handful ever walking up the stairs and no more than about 5% walking down. Gee, this "gihadist neocon" was acually trying to save the planet while the fat *sses in the Sierra Club preach about it and use the escalators.
I grew up on a farm too. No F-150's or 1500's or RAMs on our farm. No sir! Can't score style points with the other famers without a Caddy! < /sarcasm>
I am soooo sorry I stopped to look at that guy dancing. Hurl!
Larry seems to think the farmers haul manure in their Cadillac all week and then put up the seats and take the family to church on Sunday. Yah. You betcha.
MIDI - LAST KISS (oh where oh where can my baby be....remember?)
On her way to the Sierra Club...it will turn into quite a flub
Miss Arianna really hates SUVs
She talks the talk but will she also walk it...I guess we'll see
There's her plane touching down, it's at SFO
The keynote speaker's set to go
They get her bags, where's her ride
And on which limo did they decide
There at the curb is a big black machine
She knows it is not very green
But she gets in the SUV
Can we all say, HYPOCRISY?
Oh where oh where can my Prius be
They sent for me this SUV
There's no stretch limos so I guess I am struck
At least there's lots of leg room in this big old polluting truck
She knows very well it gets 10mpg
But she thinks there's no one there to see
These big rigs have helped Osama out
"Detroit Project," that's what it was about
But things go bad in just a little while
Arianna, will you turn and smile!
The camera's seen, it is too late to hide
Now how to spin this her pals must decide
Just like Feinstein, if she only had a gun
She hates the FReepers, every one
Oh where oh where can my Prius be
They sent for me this SUV
There's no stretch limos so I guess I am struck
At least there's lots of leg room in this big old polluting truck
Where oh where oh where...can my Prius be
Although I have been caught...pretend you don't see
Oh where oh where oh where...can my Prius be
Although I have been caught...pretend you don't see
Who says all the good one's are taken? :)
Yep, everyone knows that Gore learned to pitch manure in Washington DC...where it's been raised to a new art form.
I was wondering why this hadn't been zotted!
