On my way home from Atlanta yesterday, I was driving through SC below Greenville on I-85, and there was this idiot in a silver Grand Marquis driving like a jerkoff. Kept speeding up, slowing down, speeding up, slowing down, over and over.... I was driving at a steady speed, but when he was slow, I'd pass him. He'd speed up and pass a whole line of cars (doing about 90 mph), then when he had passed, go slow again. He was talking on his cell phone all during this. I also noticed he had a funky license plate but didn't get close enough to actually see what it said. I got a good look at him one of those times, and he looked like a businessman in a suit (on a Sunday afternoon). I stopped a little further up the road to get gas, and there was a Dairy Queen right beside the gas station. Lo and behold, Idiot Boy was in line at the DQ drive-thru. I wanted to see what kind of a license plate the jerk had, so I got back in my car and drove close enough to read it. Holy crap! It said "UNITED STATES SENATOR" and was a South Carolina tag that was a special design. The only number on the license plate was 1. (Gee, how self-serving...Hoo-wee!!! I'm Number One!!!!) I drove back around to the gas station and filled up, then I hit the road again.

Well, guess who passed me a little while later, eating a DQ ice cream cone AND talking on his cell phone at the same time and not paying attention to the road???? I lost him about half an hour later, thank goodness. I knew SC had only Repuke senators, so I knew it was either DeMint or Lindsay Graham. DeMint is actually from the Greenville area, so I figured it was him. When I got home, I looked up his website, and sure enough, that's who it was.

South Carolina should be proud of its Repuke senators. They drive safely and do such a good job in Washington. Maybe he should have been driving one of the VW Asshats we talked about a few days ago....
