CNN - Political Ticker ^ | 2009-06-16

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sen. John McCain officially got the keys to his 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid on Tuesday, and promptly took it for a spin around the Russell Senate office building in Washington — but not before accidentially tripping the car alarm.

Before jumping in, McCain was overheard remarking that his new ride features a voice-activated navigation system and Sirius satellite radio.

Riding shotgun was McCain's buddy Lindsey Graham, who joked as he got into the passenger seat: "I hope I live to tell about this."

Do these guys understand no one but them will be able to buy these cars; any cars?

There are no jobs. Without taxes; no government workers either.

How very happy(said through gritted teeth) I am for him. He and all of his ilk helped to drag this country down,and he gets a new ride-courtesy of the hard-working American people. Can he and his wife not afford their own fleet of cars?

Local news here in Phoenix reported that McCain traded in his Cadillac CTS for the Fusion. Under the new government guidelines, McClain qualified for the "cash for clunkers" program.

That’s what I was thinking too. He didn’t buy a GM or Chrysler, and kept some Ford workers getting a pay check. He can afford it on his Senatorial paycheck, or his wife’s money. Whatever, it was a fu to obama and his takeover of the other 2 companies.
