Taken for a ride

I'm thinking maybe the practice of letting congresspeople lease whatever car they want, while we pick up the tab, is sort of a crappy idea.

If we're going to pick up the tab, how about at least forcing them to use hybrids?

This reminds me of when I was student government treasurer in high school, and the president and other officers thought it'd be fine to order top-of-the-line Champion sportswear to "sell" as a "fundraiser," while keeping one of each item for themselves -- in other words, stealing from the school.

You'll be shocked to know that the guy who was president is now an elected official in Maryland.
