I HATE BOB LEVEY

There's an ad on the side of the buses here that annoys me to a degree far out of proportion with reality. On the side of some buses is a folksy-looking picture of recently retired (and putatively beloved) former Washington Post columnist Bob Levey. The ad identifies him as a decades-long Metro rider and has him saying:

"Why do I ride Metrobus? Have you seen me drive?"

No Bob, we haven't. In fact, isn't that precisely the point? You don't drive! How could we see you driving when you ride the freaking Metrobus all the time? Huh?! You want a piece of this??

All right, better now.
