Burr's Whip

I have to admit Senator Burr's VW Thing is pretty rad.

While some might prefer that he drive an American car, or a car that gets better than 20 miles to the gallon, I won't be so petty as to criticize Burr's choice of vehicle.

I will, however, be so petty as to criticize his choice of bumper stickers.

Not only is Sen. Burr a self-proclaimed "Bush Woman," he also seems to forget that we're paying his salary. The attack on President Obama also seems beneath the office of Senator, it's more something you'd expect of Virginia Foxx.

Here's the back bumper:

For those curious Senator Richard Burr supports:

• President George W. Bush
• Senator John McCain
• California Republican Mary Bono
• West Virginia Republican Shelley Moore Capito
• Former Ohio Congresswoman Deborah Pryce
• Michigan Republican David Lee Camp
• Senator Lindsay Graham
• Democratic Senator from Nebraska, Ben Nelson (nicknamed "The Benator" by President Bush)
• Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss
• House Minority Leader John Boehner

Interestingly, Mary Bono, Shelley Capito, and Deborah Pryce are all members of Republicans for Choice, Republican Majority for Choice, and the Wish List. These GOP organizations seek to reduce the influence of the religious right, shift funding from abstinence-only to comprehensive sex education, and protect Roe vs Wade.
