What a letdown

Yukongate, the latest “scandal” to “rock” Pittsburgh city hall has gone on for way too long. I would like to get more worked up about this, but I just can’t. Why? I just don’t have the respect for our Mayor like I used to:

The issue came to a head after Mr. Ravenstahl used the SUV over the weekend of Aug. 18. Among other things, he took it to a Toby Keith concert at the Post-Gazette Pavilion. He said he went with his wife and friends.

Shit, Luke, come on. Two hours of bumper-to-bumper traffic in an SUV to see a xenophobic, good ol’ boy “country” singer? What’s next? A weekend outing to the nearest NASCAR race? You’re dead to me now.
