As oil from a spill spread in the Gulf of Mexico and the Times Square terror investigation continued apace, the Senate took time out on Tuesday for some very important business: car appreciation.
It’s official: The passage of Senate Resolution 513 designates July 9 as Collector Car Appreciation Day.
On the Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-Nev.) voice dripped with contempt as he ordered the presiding officer to read the resolution, filled with lines about the importance of automobiles and how they “have provided the inspiration for music, photography, cinema, fashion.”
The resolution “encourages the people of the United States to engage in events and commemorations” in honor of classic cars.
Reid waited until the end of the reading to let it rip. “We’ve had a big day in the Senate ... and we have been able to accomplish almost nothing — not quite, but almost nothing. I love old cars, and I am glad we are able to pass this important legislation: Collector Car Appreciation Day,” he said sarcastically.
Not surprisingly, Reid blamed GOP obstructionism on issues like Wall Street reform for why the Senate was spending time passing bills about old cars. He also managed to get in a jab at lobbyists in their “Gucci shoes and new suits and a lot of new ties.”
Let’s hope Reid goes the way of the Edsel!
Edsels are highly prized collectible automobiles.
Harry Reid is neither highly prized nor collectible.
I hope Harry goes the way of the Yugo.
Sounds like Dingy Harry’s not in the best of spirits these days. Wonder why.
Wish they'd make up their minds.

I’d kinda’ like to ram my 57 Tbird up Harry’s ..............
Its a beautiful night this evening. Let's go take a cruise in the 1965 Ford powered by a 409 cubic inch V-8.
I also remember back in 1995 when the National Maximum Speed Limit was in the process of being repealed. Old Harry raised a stink about it of course. Doesn’t go over well for a state that he represents that has very wide and open roads !
Sounds like a disgusting and degrading act for Your Lovely T-Bird to endure! Just leave that act upto Obozo, he is probably very practiced with Harry on that disgusting act!...:-Q
Hey Harry, this is exactly the type of legistlation that Americans can support - it doesn’t require the redistribution of our wealth (aka, theft by political fiat).
The most important business that they have entered into all year!!!!!!
I know a woman who owned a Yugo. It actually overheated going over the Walt Whitman bridge from Jersey to Pennsy.
Doesn’t GovernmentMotors have a new car out called the Chevy Reid? How would FReepers describe this new car? Is it electric or gas powered?
This is a car thread, we don't like those gay... fiats! ;-)
It’s an entirely new technology...runs on hot air.
Its a Dozie......
