This, courtesy of The Agitator. It seems Eric Massa (D-NY) wanted to make a point about the merits of electric cars. He wanted to drive an electric car from his district to his swearing in at the Capitol. The problem? The car didn't have sufficient charge to get all the way to D.C. Representative Massa came up with a unique solution.

Massa drove one fuel cell car while a hybrid SUV towing an additional SUV followed along. Once he got half way, he switched to new fuel cell car. The empty fuel cell was then towed back by the first SUV. As he continued on his journey, the second SUV followed. Once Massa arrived in DC, the second SUV then towed the second fuel cell car back to NY.

We’re too tired to do the math, but even Al Gore might agree that the emissions released into the air for this stunt were far more than they would’ve been had he strapped on a hard hat and drove a bulldozer to DC.

In the fashion of politicians everywhere, he failed to recognize the absurdity of his stunt.
