She [Barbara Boxer] then hopped in a waiting Chrysler LHS (18 mpg) -- even though her Senate office was only a block away. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) used a Hyundai Elantra to take the one-block journey to and from the gas-station [Exxon station on Capitol Hill] news conference. He posed in front of the fuel prices and gave them a thumbs-down. "Get tough on big oil!" he demanded of the Bush administration.

I thought it was a really funny column. Totally neutral and hitting both parties.
But it seems to be a symbol for mainstream America. Including many commenters on American left-wing blogs. Like "make the pain/high gas prices go away!"
