5. uh

"Edwards... had this Cadillac SRX Crossover (15 mpg) beside him in Iowa on his arrival from announcing his candidacy for president in New Orleans"

That picture is from 2006. Notice the winter sky and the trees without leaves.

Actually, Edwards isn't anti-SUV — he seems to be quite consciously avoiding the trap of appearing to demand that Americans drive only Trabants. His spokesman says he drives a hybrid SUV, the Ford Escape, at home in North Carolina, though the AP reported in April that the family has an SUV and a small truck as well.

His website says, "Edwards believes that everyone should be able to drive the car, truck or SUV of their choice and still enjoy high fuel economy."

Oh, and the vehicle in that picture isn't an SUV either, not that that stops people from being ridiculous.
