Of the United States?

Um....actually he probably has quite the rig, considering what he's spending on auto leasing.
From the Denver Post (archives)-
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo spent more taxpayer money than all but five of his colleagues on car leases last year, but he won’t give any specifics as to where he went and what he did.
“We have no obligation to provide that information,” Tancredo spokesman Will Adams said Tuesday about the $1,183 a month that his boss spent to lease two cars. “He spent what is consistent with what other offices pay.”
Tancredo spent a total of $14,201, nearly three times the amount spent by Reps. Diana DeGette, a Democrat, and Bob Beauprez, a Republican, the only other members of Colorado’s delegation who leased cars on the taxpayer’s dime. Tancredo also is one of only six members of the House to lease two vehicles. Two representatives rented three each.

I wonder why did the Denver Post used a photo of Tancredo that looks like he's getting an exam from a proctologist?

Schedule the debate between Tancreepo and Dave right now.

I didn't even have the stomach to read past the first sentence....

Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 03:06 PM

Posted by: judi | March 30, 2007 at 03:07 PM
I really pity his poor actual proctologist. Imagine to what indignities that poor man is subjected.
OH!!! I scared myself.
Pass the brainbleach, someone. ANYONE!!!

If he wins does this mean the rest of the country is going to war with Miami?
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | March 30, 2007 at 03:11 PM
Why would they? I mean, it's only a third-world country in his eyes.
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 30, 2007 at 03:14 PM
This is great! I always like to see a varied field of candidates for prez. Gives us so much more to poke fun at.
Posted by: Suzy Q | March 30, 2007 at 03:17 PM
Tancreepo's got no chance. His "field coordinator" does not sport a mullet.
Posted by: Siouxie | March 30, 2007 at 03:34 PM
Notice he is announcing in IOWA, not COLORADO or FLORIDA. I guess we had SOME influence on him
Posted by: qsman | March 30, 2007 at 03:37 PM
"I don't know that I won't run again, should things not turn out that I was president of the United States," Tancredo said.
Now this is the kind of clear thinking and speaking we expect from a President... of the Mensa Rejects of America.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 30, 2007 at 03:41 PM
No wonder he fits so well in Washington....
You say "potatoe," I say, "nukular."
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 30, 2007 at 03:53 PM
Is he missing his upper front teeth or has he just got a Tancredo-eating grin?
Posted by: a different dave | March 30, 2007 at 04:05 PM
Something tells me he's going to have a hard time carrying Florida. Or any other state where people read this blog.
Posted by: andy | March 30, 2007 at 04:12 PM
Oh, please. He can't even carry the one when he adds 9+12.
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 30, 2007 at 04:18 PM
BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
That is all.
Posted by: Clean Hands | March 30, 2007 at 04:59 PM
I see the point about the ill-equipped bandwagon.
Not only no band, but not a hint of any mullet anywhere.
Posted by: Avon | March 30, 2007 at 05:22 PM
Thanks for the appreciation, CH.
At least, I presume it's for me. :)
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 30, 2007 at 05:22 PM
Actually, I was laughing out loud at Tanclowndo's decision to run against Dave for the Presidency. Gawd, but he's a nimrod.
Posted by: Clean Hands | March 30, 2007 at 05:29 PM
*snork* @ Deskdiva. And he wouldn't even get your joke, either. Why do I imagine hearing the wind whistling between his ears?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 30, 2007 at 06:34 PM
I too have an anouncement I will make on Monday, although not in Iowa or on the radio. I will announce that I have decided not to move after all and will continue to live in the apartment I live in now.
That is all.
