Flipping the Bird to your Representative

In the People's Democratic Republic of Massachusetts, no less:

There was a moment last week when Representative Denis E. Guyer was stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Interstate 93. He was in his red Toyota Matrix, sporting old campaign bumper stickers and a special House of Representatives license plate meant to be an honor bestowed on elected officials.

But after the indictment of former House speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi - the third Democrat to face criminal charges in 11 months - residents are in no mood to give much respect to those who work on Beacon Hill.

One motorist pointed his middle finger squarely at Guyer. Shortly after, another motorist did the same.

Brings to mind the old joke about Lawyers, not repurposed to politicians:

Q: What do you call a ship full of politicians that's been sunk to the bottom of the sea?

A: A good start.
