The Horror of the SUV

An emailer writes:

I was heading to the Office on Friday morning. About 915 I was just coming up to the Air American studios, and the parking lot was full. In the center, was a Cadillac Escalade, The Mother, The Most Plush of all Full-Sized SUV’s on the market today.

“Been a long time since I rock & rolled…”

As I’m at the light, I see a guy come out of the door. And I say to myself, “Self, that sure looks like Mike Erlandson. You’ve never seen him up close, only on TV, but that sure looks like him. I wonder if he was on Air America this morning with Nick?” [And indeed he was - Ed.]

Then, as sure as it was already 84 degrees and humid, Erlandson gets into the White Cadillac Escalade (driver’s door) and heads out.

Former DFL chair driving an Escalade while he and his party push the people onto buses and light rail?

Hmmmm.

Not unlike the Saint Paul city councilman who campaigned against school vouchers while his son attended Saint Paul Academy.

We'll have to look into this.
