HERE IN MY CAR

Turns out that a number of congressmen are using taxpayer money to pay for leases on their SUV's and luxury cars. And as (giddily) reported by the New York Post, two of the most expensive leases are held by New York Democrats - Reps. Charles Rangel and Gregory Meeks, of Harlem and Brooklyn, respectively.

The most expensive ride is leased by Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark, whose Ford Expedition costs taxpayers $1,248.31 a month (that shit better be pimped out). What the hell is a Democrat doing driving a $1200 a month SUV around Arkansas? In close second is Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif, whose Acura is $1,231.51 a month, followed by Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, whose Lincoln costs a cool $1,078.21. Rangel and Meeks round out the top five.

Leave it to failed NYC Mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner (D-Queens) to have the cheapest taxpayer paid ride - a $219 a month Chevy Impala (sweet). Hope he doesn't get in a wreck with Mike Ross. An Expedition will roll right over an Impala.

Four New York area representatives do not use taxpayer funds to pay for their cars - and three of them are Democrats.

Personally, I think these public servants, Democrats and Republicans alike, should all be taking public transportation or carpooling (Mike Ross oughta have room in that Expedition for at least one Kennedy, and even Anthony Weiner's Impala can carry three passengers plus the driver). A grand a month for your congressman to cruise around in his Lincoln... sounds like someone may be out of touch.
