McCain Drives a “Chick Car,” Sarah Palin has a Diesel

Sure, they don’t agree on
what to do about Pakistan, but it turns out that both John McCain and Sarah Palin bonded by their mutual love for Volkswagens.
Newsweekreports that the Arizona senator has a 2005 Volkswagen convertible in one of his garages,
and Kyle Buschsays the Palin family owns a 2005 or 2006 Jetta TDI in addition to the snowmobile and government-provided Suburban. that prompted a quick reponse from the Obama campaign, asking just which country McCain is putting first.

Focusing on country of origin would be burying the lede: The only convertible Volkswagen imported to the US in 2005 was the New Beetle. That’s right: tough-as-nails John McCain owns the most serious
chick car on the planet. Should tomorrow night’s Palin-Biden debate spell doom for the Republican ticket, at least the senior senator has a chance to try out for Legally Blonde, the Musical.

We knew about Palin’s government-provided Suburban, a hockey-mom prerequisite. Her SUV ownership reminds us that for some ever-growing families, a seven-passenger car is truly the most efficient means of transport. Plus, it’s big honkin’ V8 is great for hauling snowmachines
anda quick getaway during a Russian attack. It’s plus surprising that such a strong proponent of offshore drilling drives a car that can get
better

All that love for foreign cars led to an Obama attack ad (below). The nerve of that guy, buying furrin’ cars! The society
who construct them aren’t even Americans! Well, apart from for the Honda.To be fair, the Obama ad is truly a distortion. McCain has as many foreign cars in his garage(s) as he has children, who might not want to be seen driving LeSabres. Only one of the cars is registered in the Senator’s name, and it’s an American-made Cadillac CTS. Nine of the cars registered in his wife’s name are American made, and three are electric. (Note to Senator McCain:
tell folks you own an electric car.)

For the record, Obama changed his gas-guzzling 300C for an Escape Hybrid, which may or may not have been a gift from
Tony Rezko. Newsweek additionally tell us that Cindy McCain drives a Lexus with the license plate “MS BUD.” Let’s hope that’s a reference to her family’s beer distribution trade, not a nickname suggesting a penchant for plant-based illicit substances.
