"Gauging" Stupidity

So the Repugs believe that they can score points ridiculing Barack Obama for suggesting that we keep the tires of our vehicles properly inflated, as noted here (h/t Atrios)?

This tells us the following…

Keeping your car's tire pressure at the optimal level is a small and easy eco-tip that would help save a lot of precious oil if everybody did it.

And yes, we check the tire pressure on the Doomsymobile every couple of months or so (and luckily, we have a station nearby that doesn’t charge for air).

We truly are in the midst of the silly season here, my friends.
