Have you ever seen the wide-eyed happy look on a kid after he was given one of the Hess toy trucks sold at gas stations? Well, that pretty much describes the attitude of Meet The Press host Chuck Todd in reaction to Hillary Clinton's "Scooby Doo" van. Chuck tweeted in ecstasy over supposed spontaneity of  such an "original" idea, completely forgetting the brutal reality as we shall see. As a result, poor Chuck was widely mocked in reaction.

Before we go to the mocking, let us first look at Chuck Todd's happy tweet over the Scooby Doo van. An original idea...except for the last time it was trotted out in a Hillary campaign.

I liked “This is as spontaneous as the business trip I have scheduled for the 2nd week in September..”

Once had a model of the White House, too. Huge.

Bubba's Van

That’s not a Scooby Doo van. It’s a tricked-out Chevy Silverado, just the kind of SUV liberals love to hate. Guess it depends on the owner.

OR feed it after midnight..............

I thought BJ was an open air guy...you know the El Camino with astroturf in the back.

Isn’t a Silverado a pickup truck?

The pics I saw looked like a Chevy Express

That thing is sitting mighty low. Armored up

[nascarnation]

It’s operated by the Sec Serv per reports so that makes sense.

I am sorry but isn’t the point of a “bus” tour, as opposed to flying, so you can do stops along the way and meet people and give speeches.

It seems like they just drove straight thru, which makes the whole thing incredibly bogus.

You'd think they would rent a REAL bus instead of that van. This trip is about to make Hillary equal to 2004 Teresa Heinz-Kerry--and we all know how everyone at Free Republic (and far beyond) ridiculed Heinz-Kerry back then.

There’s a used bookstore where I live and they have about a dozen of her books marked down to a dollar. One of the books I picked up was first marked at ten bucks, then five, then three and finally at a dollar. At some point I’m sure they’ll give them away if anyone would want them.

Another all black vehicle. obama and Hillary both think they are Darth Vader.

[Kirkwood]

Someone needs to photoshop her in one of those plumbing vans where the driver is sitting on a toilet.

[colorado tanker]

Yep, it looks like a radically customized Silverado pickup.

Tune up the music to Chevy Van

“” Love’n Humma in my Chevy van, moon light in her hair, take her by the hand, and that’s all right with me..

A good old 70s classic
