An SUV performing the same unsafe maneuver is far more hazardous to
surrounding traffic. Surely even you can see that?

Yeah, but Lloyd thought it in his mind (funny how Bush, who is
supposedly dumb, is clever enough to make Lloyd, who is supposedly
brilliant, think things like that), so that makes it reality and
therefore Bush is guilty of it.
So, Lloyd, what about Sadam offering to and actually paying families of
homocide bombers as a reward? Does that make him a supporter of
terrorism and therefore a legitmate target in an all-out war on
terrorism? (Lloyd will come back with something suggesting that Bush is
evil and Sadam is good and innocent. Or he won't just to make me wrong;
but now he will because I said that; now he won't...)

You don't understand. Lloyd's used to seeing his elitist progressive
professor buddies driving their SUV's all over town, so he assumes
everyone else does that. Lloyd drives a Mercedes, so you can't accuse
him of that.
