CALIFORNIA Sen. Jim Battin plunked down $45 for a “carbon offset sticker” for his barn-sized LINCOLN NAVIGATOR, that measures gasoline use in yardage not mileage (I know - years ago I had one), now wants any vehicle with such an absolution sticker to be able to roar down the “car pool lane” with impunity. To further flip the figurative bird at his critics, Battin issued a press release touting his joy at the thought of allowing “every owner of a polluting, flashy, fuel-sucking car” to use the HOV lane, adding “I feel great about my carbon credit indulgence and think many other Californians will, too, when they are driving guilt-free in the empty diamond lane.” All together now: HYPOCRITE!
