Mexican Trucks Start To Roll

The first Mexican truck authorized by a Bush administration program opening U.S. highways to trucking companies from south of the border crossed into the U.S. this morning at approximately 1:50 a.m. EDT at Laredo, Texas, headed for North Carolina, according to a report from Trucker.com.

Below is a picture of the woman responsible for that, Mary E. Peters, Secretary of Transportation.


Mary E. Peters was nominated by President George W. Bush on September 5, 2006, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the 15th Secretary of Transportation on September 30, 2006.

A Feb. 22, 2007, ceremony held in Apodaca, a municipality of the city of Monterrey in the Mexican state Nuevo Leon, the headquarters location of Transportes Olympic, was attended by Mary E. Peters, where she officially blessed Transportes Olympic as the first Mexican trucking company that would be allowed to operate freely in the U.S. under NAFTA.

Officially blessed. This is the kind of witless idiot we have running things today, everywhere in the Bush administration.

Should these trucks and drivers start creating mayhem on our highways, be sure to remember that Mary E. Peters, Bush appointee, was a major force behind the whole stinking thing.
