I've listened bemusedly over the last year or two as Rush Limbaugh occasionally does "SUV Updates" on his program. Now despite the fact that he's been quite a topic of conversation here recently, I only catch his program for about a half-hour once or twice a week. Still, I've found the SUV Update to be one of his more amusing bits.

For those of you who don't know what the SUV Update is, Limbaugh took notice of the fact that liberals harbor a visceral hatred of sport utility vehicles (SUV's). They hate them so much, and have such a strong motive for demonizing them, that they've taken to personifying these vehicles in news stories about accidents that involve them.

I've never seen a better example with my own eyes than a story which appeared here in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel the other day. It was titled "Highway Patrol hunts hit-and-run SUV that killed woman near Hollywood." Here are the first couple of paragraphs from the story:

The Florida Highway Patrol is hoping the public can provide information that leads to a sport utility vehicle that hit and killed a 55-year-old woman late Tuesday near Hollywood.

The accident happened at 11:57 p.m. as the woman, [name deleted], tried to cross State Road 7 along the 2600 block when a dark colored SUV ran over her and continued driving north without stopping. The SUV probably has damage to its right front light and the hood, the highway patrol said.

I hope they stop it before it kills again.
