Caption Pic (Hastert Sneaks Back to His SUV)

Posted on 04/28/2006 5:51:19 AM PDT by Lunatic Fringe


House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Ill., center, gets out of a Hydrogen Alternative Fueled automobile, left, as he prepares to board his SUV, which uses gasoline, after holding a new conference at a local gas station in Washington, Thursday, April 27, 2006 to discuss the recent rise in gas prices. Hastert and other members of Congress drove off in the Hydrogen-Fueled cars only to switch to their official cars to drive back the few block back to the U.S. Capitol.

After having "momentarily" exhausted his flatulant fuel, Congressman Hastert switched to his alternative hydrocarbon vehicle.

We should all drive smaller cars, or motorcyles to save gas.

The best news about this whole deal is that SUVs will be cheaper. I'm due to replace my wife's next year.

Their cushy jobs and all the perks leave them detached from reality.

Politicians love their SUVs for the same reason most of the rest of us who own them do--they're the most versitale vehicles available.

Is this DU? Why condemning a guy who chooses to drive his own car after a photo op? Had Hastert condemned SUVs during the event?

What do we expect?

Every politician thinks we are nothing but a bunch of trained monkeys unable to think unless they tell us what to think.

The deceit extends into every aspect of government and every pol out there at this point.
