Report: No radiation danger with cars imported from Japan
Japan’s devastating earthquake and the resulting tsunami has already claimed thousands of lives, but the threat is far from over. The Japanese government is feverishly fighting possible meltdowns of multiple nuclear reactors, and radiation has spiked to dangerous levels in some areas around the compromised facilities. The U.S. government has gone out of its way explaining to us that radiation from these plants won’t travel here in anything close to dangerous quantities, but what about the vehicles coming over from Japan?
Inside Line reports that Toyota, Honda and Nissan are working hard to assure car buyers that their products aren’t radioactive. Japan’s big three each told IL that the vast majority of their plants are nowhere near a nuclear reactor, with the exception of one Nissan engine plant. Nissan Americas communications VP David Reuter told IL that the company “will take all necessary actions to ensure safety.”
Toyota communications VP Mike Michels echoed Reuter’s statement, adding “vehicles are plastic-wrapped on ships and washed at our processing facilities before shipping to dealers. This is normal procedure.” Further, the U.S. government routinely inspects cargo entering the U.S. That includes checking for radiation, and anything else that can harm American citizens.

Rush Limbaugh makes fun of Japan, land of the hybrids, for earthquake, tsunami devastation
It’s kind of hard to understand just how insensitive this is:
The Japanese have done so much to save the planet. He’s right. They’ve given us the Prius. Even now, refugees are still recycling their garbage, and yet Gaia levels them [laughs], just wipes them out. Wipes out their nuclear plants, all kinds of radiation. What kind of payback is this? That is an excellent question. They invented the Prius. In fact, where Gaia blew up is right where they make all these electric cars. That’s where the tsunami hit. All those brand new electric cars sitting there on the lot. I like the way this guy was thinking. It’s like — it’s like Gaia hit the Prius in [inaudible]. It’s like they were in the crosshairs, if we can use that word, it does. What is Gaia trying to tell us here? What is the mother of environmentalism trying to say with this hit? Great observation out there, Chris.
That, friends, is Mr. Insensitive himself, Rush Limbaugh, talking about the devastating earthquake/tsunami that his Japan last week. There’s not much more to say, other than to link to some of the other idiotic things Limbaugh has said in the past, to really point out what kind of man this is:
Thanks to Andy for the tip!
