Hillary Wants to Reinstate the Dreaded Double Nickels

I missed this little gem from Hillary Clinton's snoozer of an energy policy speech:

In a surprise move yesterday, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called for "most of the country" to return to a speed limit of 55 mph in an effort to slash fuel consumption.
"The 55-mile speed limit really does lower gas usage. And wherever it can be required, and the people will accept it, we ought to do it," Clinton said at the National Press Club.

Can you imagine any law more reviled than the 55 mph speed limit? Pushing this idea would be campaigning by suicide.
