Not Full of Himself Yet
Yesterday, I was driving around, and in front of me I saw a car with a “US Representative” license plate. The Plate said “FR6″, which made me think it might be for the 6th district, and it had a “Tom Price” bumper sticker. A bit intrigued, at a light I happened to see the driver lean down to grab something, and yep, it was Tom Price.
And he drives a Mercury Sable station wagon. I don’t know that my feeling of “awe” at the “majesty” of government could have dropped any lower, but it did yesterday. I guess that’s how first-termers live, huh? It will probably take another 3 terms before he can justify the upgrade to a Town Car or a Caddy, with windows tinted enough that us plebes can’t recognize him…

Nothing wrong with a Mercury Sable Station wagon, Brad. We all have to work our way up the ladder. Don’t forget that Sam Walton drove and old beat-up pick-up and he was worth millions.
I drive a beat-up pickup truck, and I’m not worth squat. What does that get me?
I drove a 175,000 mile Camry until January, only my third car in 20 years of driving. Now I drive my forth car, an expensive luxury SUV so you scumbags in small, fuel efficient hybrid cars can’t see me when I’m bearing down in your rear view mirror. What does that prove?
Uh, never mind.
maybe I am misunderstanding, but a Sable isn’t worth much… and the wagon has been discontinued. Matter of fact, the saturn I drive was more expensive then the Sable your representive was driving…
Perhaps I am missing the point?
ethne,
That is the point… Instead of driving some pretentious luxury car, he’s driving a Mercury Sable.
Aha! The light bulb comes on…
