Hillary has a perfectly defensible reason for not pumping her own gas. If you've ever seen "The Jerk" with Steve Martin, you know that gas stations are magnets for sniper fire.

This symbolizes all of her silly "I'm super-blue-collar!" escapades. As Steven Colbert said after the PA primary, "I can't wait to hear where she was born in Indiana!"

Clinton Stops at the Pumps

By Patrick Healy

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – With all of her talk about high gas prices and suspending the federal gas tax, when was the last time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton pumped gas, anyway?

Well, it wasn’t this morning, despite her for-the-cameras visit to a Marathon gas station in South Bend to draw attention to her fight with Senator Barack Obama over steps to lower gas prices. The Clinton campaign arranged for Mrs. Clinton to “commute” with a sheet-metal worker on his way to work; she rode shotgun in a white Ford pick-up truck and to stop by the gas station to fret over the cost of filling up.

No shock, but David O. Selznick could not have staged the thing better.

The Marathon gas station was effectively closed to other customers for more than an hour as 30 reporters and photographers gathered at the station to await Mrs. Clinton’s visit. A caravan of 10 vehicles – 10! – finally arrived, including a van carrying cameramen to record the drive, and a white Ford pick-up truck driven by the “commuter,” Jason Allen Wilfing, with Mrs. Clinton in the passenger seat.

And it turned out the pick-up belonged to Mr. Wilfing’s boss; they used it so they could fit a Secret Service agent and Mrs. Clinton’s traveling aide in the back seat.

Reporters speculated beforehand about whether Mrs. Clinton would pump the gas herself, but it was not to be. Once parked, Mr.Wilfing pumped the gas ($3.76 a gallon) while Mrs. Clinton did most of the chatting about her concerns about high gas prices and how they affect everything from workers’ pocketbooks to trucking and shipping costs to companies’ bottom line.

Mrs. Clinton is very good at this sort of campaign theater, given all of her years on center stage – she talked with Mr.Wilfing easily and looked right at home, even though there were television boom microphones hanging by her face and a gaggle of reporters surrounding them.

To answer the earlier question: Mrs. Clinton said she had not pumped gas in a long time, given the Secret Service role in her life since 1992. Aides said that she had a driver’s license and that she sometimes used a hybrid S.U.V. back home in New York.

Mrs. Clinton paid for the morning gas — $63.67 for 16.9 gallons – and, as she has for several days now, lamented the high prices and renewed her call for a suspension of the federal gas tax during the peak summer travel months. She would pay for the relief by imposing a “windfall profits” tax on oil companies. Her Democratic rival, Mr. Obama, opposes the whole idea, calling it a gimmick; the presumptive Republican nominee Senator John McCain, supports the suspension but not the new profits tax.

In remarks to reporters at the pump, Mrs. Clinton said her “passion” in the campaign was fighting for the pocketbook concerns of average Americans, and she insisted that the tax relief would be “very helpful” to truckers and to people who had to commute long distances.

The nation, she said, needed “a really loud chorus, which I’m prepared to lead, saying our priorities are upside down.”

$3.76? We're seeing $4.10~ here in California...

Give me a break!
I know a number of women who don't fill their own gas tanks!
I know a lot who don't know how to scrape their windshields in the winter too!
These aren't Country Club Mavens, they are pretty, feminine women who get the men in their lives to take care of such things!
Chivalry is not dead everywhere!

Hillary Clinton being the wife of a former President has been under Secret Service protection since 1992. She does not drive due to security concerns, neither does Bill Clinton.
