Default HAHAHA - House GOP leader ditches hydrogen car for SUV after gas price photo-op


http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Sp..._SUV_0428.html

Published: Friday April 28, 2006

The Associated Press has photographed Speaker of the House Dennis
Hastert (R-IL) ditching his brightly colored hydrogen automobile in
favor of a gas-guzzling black SUV after exiting a news conference and
photo opportunity at a Washington, DC gas station.

After the conference, which addressed high gas prices, Hastert and
other Congressmen had been carted away in fuel saving and
alternatively powered automobiles. Just blocks away from the scene,
Hastert is reported to have ditched his in favor of his usual official
car.

The conference reportedly took place just blocks away from the U.S.
Capitol to which Hastert was returning, making the motivations behind
the car switch-off all the more puzzling.

Hastert is not the only Congressman to have made "the switch" in the
middle of the very short trip, according to the Associated Press,
which has thus far named no other perpetrators.

Of course, kerry is an SUV lover too. Both parties are full of liars
and hypocrites.
