They're really desperate. In response to Senator Obama's recommendation to keep our tires properly inflated, McCain activists (that's an oxymoron) plan to distribute tire pressure gauges at an Obama event. I don't quite get the joke there. I'll take a free tire gauge, thank you.
Anyway, Bill Scher reminds the pranksters on the far-right:
Where did [Obama] get that crazy idea? From George Bush's Energy Department and Environmental Protection Agency. (hat tip: Get Energy Smart! Now!)
Their joint site fueleconomy.gov is loaded with fuel-saving, money-saving tips. Keep your tires properly inflated, for example, and you can save up to 12 cents a gallon.
Compare that immediate savings from that single tip, with what coastal and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge drilling combined would get you two decades from now: 6 cents a gallon.
And, of course, when faced with the facts, the McBushies are claiming that tire inflation and tune-ups are Senator Obama's entire energy policy. Seriously. They do. Remarkable, considering this is readily available on the tubes.
