#1 [....]
Well, I wound it up to 110;
Twisted the speedometer cable right off the end.
Had my foot glued right to the floor;
I said, "That's all there is - there ain't no more.

Now the fellas thought I'd lost all sense;
The telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, "Slow down, I see spots."
The lines on the road just looked like dots.

Went around a corner and passed a truck;
I crossed my fingers just for luck -
The fenders clickin' the guard rail post;
The guy beside me was white as a ghost.

Smoke was rollin' outta the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
I knew I could catch him and hoped I could pass
But when I did I'd be short on gas.

There were flames comin' from out of the side;
You could feel the tension; man, what a ride.
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
And the Cadillac pulled over and let me by.

All of a sudden a rod started knockin';
Down in the depths she started a rockin'.
I looked in the mirror and a red light was blinkin';
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln.

Well they arrested me and put me in jail.
I called my pop to make my bail.
He said, 'Son, you're gonna drive me t' drinkin',
If you don't quit drivin' that - Hot ... Rod ... Lincoln!'

#4 Correction: the car's driver was Jarrett Maupin Sr. The candidate is Jarrett Jr. and he's only 17 years old...

#5 Only 17? Well you gotta show THE MAN that you mean business early if you want to set yourself up for a life of no heavy lifting. I'll bet that's the first lesson in the Al Sharpton Training Manual.

#8 AP - Beat me to it. Good snippet.

The driver was rushing Sharpton to the airport after his visit anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Sunday at her camp outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford.
He must have heard about the next biggest concentration of TV cameras somewhere else.

#10 If these guys were so pressed for time, one would think that they would have hired a helicopter to take the Rev. Al (*ahem*) Sharpton to the airport. Of course, that would have blown the shakedown budget.

#14 Alaska Paul, I can hear that Texas Boggie beat in the backround. Time to dig out the CD with both Hot Rod Linclon and Hot Rod Race on it.

#16 The righteous rev. doth have his car driven by the hired help way too fast. Driver's got a hearing and vision problem too it seems. Says alot about Sharp Al though we already knew the basics of the ugliness.
