She was also buying American. :)

What kind of gas milage does this beast get, I'm sure that the taxpapers are footing that bill also. Where is the Sierra club when you need them????

It could have been worse. She could have chosen an SUV.

In a budget crisis everyone in the state bureacracy should feel it!

Migden .. Longtime SF Lesbo Activist .. Let her hop a ride on with some of her friends!.. Better yet, let her ride public transportation. Kuehl, Migden .. unabashed socialists... working their wiles ...

Where's the gas-electric hy-brids when it comes to their choice of vehicle? Its this entitlement attitude these people have that really angers me more than anything else.

With the state 20+ billion in debt, you would think public transport would be called for or at least a more economical choice in vehicles with better fuel economy and lower insurance premiums, but to make a choice for status is too bizarre.

Lets hope the air bag detonates and knocks some sense into her.

[NormsRevenge]

LOL.. No that was Leonard, the Republican's choice. ;-)

Typical bureaucrat - both front trotters in the public trough.

Politicians and bureaucrats have one overwhelming characteristic (no not dishonesty, no not arrogance, no not stupidity) Have a number of outstanding characteristics - covetousness of other peoples' possessions being the one displayed here. Taxes being other peoples' possessions until plundered by the state.

[John Jorsett]

No, Leonard is a former Republican. At least, that's how I choose to read it :-).

I'd like to see an initiative that requires that any car furnished to a state employee meet or exceed the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard for miles per gallon. Let those who applaud these regs have to live with them.

[blackdog]

Discover them using it for personal use and start a log. After enough evidence, sick the IRS on her for not reporting the use as income. I am sure her tax returns from prior years would be just a start.

What arrogance!

[bigfootbob]

Make her ride a Sedgway, "people mover".

[Saundra Duffy]

Just another left-wing hypocrite. Oh, yeah, like she really cares about the less fortunate. Give me a break! Isn't she a lesbian?

[Orangedog]

I've got a better idea....let this socialist cow go buy her own Cadillac. If she has to travel on state business, then she can turn in an expense report for the mileage. IIRC, the if the state fired EVERYONE on the payroll they would still come up six billion dollars short (yes, $6,000,000,000.00)!! And with that kind of deficit they can still afford to buy a car that a lot of taxpayers can't afford to buy, in part because of the taxes and fees that the state extracts from them. Time to break out the pitch-forks and torches!

[Orangedog]

"Thanks for the plaque and the new car, fools!

Some SUV's get BETTER mileage and cost less.

Google says that the Lamborghini Murcielago at $273,000 is the most expensive car sold in the USA. How about one of these babies for this bitch?

Right-o. I love SUVs. But SUVs aren't PC, which is anthema to liberals, like Lott saying he wished Strom Thurmond won the presidency in 1948.
