I guess the oil speculators don’t think cash-for-clunkers will reduce oil demand.

The Democrat Party doesn’t care about Poor People.
Now we just need a person to go on video….where’s Zoe?

Seriously though, what possible reason could one have for saying “No, I don’t think those vehicles should be donate-able…” Cars make it easier for people to go to work– aren’t we trying to ease unemployment and stimulate the economy?

It’s actually eight jets.

Speaking of George Voinovich, it’s a good thing he’s retiring next year – he wants to start a new Civil War.

Well… if these drivable vehicles cannot go to poor people then can we at least get one good demolition derby out of them?

10. The auto industry doesn’t get to reap benefits when old cars get fixed. Except for auto parts stores and salvage yards and auto mechanics and private owners and used car dealers—y’know, nobody.

9. Barack Obama doesn’t care about charitable people. (Mike Myers suddenly looks uncomfortable, steers conversation in other direction.)

8. You know how much scrap metal is going for these days? The money from all that scrap will fix our deficit woes in no time.

7. The plan is to use the old cars for creating a protective coral reef around Martha’s Vineyard, stimulating the local diving economy. Duh.

6. Fewer used cars means more money in remaining used car sellers’ pockets, a boon for that neighbor down the block with twelve cars—never the same ones for very long—taking up your parking space…

5. AAA will get to you faster now.

4. Obama wants to give rednecks free attractive shells to replace the old, ugly, rusty shells on their lawns which have been out there for, like, twenty years now. Is there no end to his generosity?

3. This encourages charities to turn in all their used cars for new ones. Makes working on them a lot easier.

2. The amendment did not include eligibility for MTV’s Pimp My Ride.

1. ACORN doesn’t like to share.

When I said “ten,” I didn’t necessarily mean “top ten.”

And great job Sen. Coburn. This would have been a very good thing had it passed, but even in it’s demise, it sheds more light on the dark, soul-less leftist democrats in the senate.
