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.

Way to pander, assholes.

Would it have hurt to drive ALL the way back in the H-car?

They probably neglected to have a fully-stocked minibar in the H-car. You know how it is for politcians; fifteen minutes without whiskey would be torture.

That picture reminds me of the Daily Show where Cordry had a small car to drive from the back of his stretch Hummer to the front of it.

The green vehicle didn't have reinforced shocks to handle his girth. the bumpers were dragging on the ground, which plays havok with mileage.

It's just the picture and quoted text from the Associated Press. (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=1778&e=2&u=/060427/480/dcpm10904272019)

Hey! Just because you aren't an admin doesn't mean you can start bitching about my modding!

















Oh...Hastert. Yeah. Assgoblin. Carry on.  :-D

There was a similar story (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/26/AR2006042602307_pf.html) on our political leaders.
