By making the gesture, Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) claims creditability because he <b>means</b> well; our media gives him creditability because of the D following his name.  Just like Al Gore, how big ones own carbon footprint is is irrelevant as long as the rhetoric is approved.  In 2012, Mr Massa will have the photo of him in his electric car, along with the approved green narrative, and the media, and his constituents, will conveniently forget the convoy that supported his stunt.
