Thank you. Hello and welcome to Car Talk from National Public Radio with us Click and Clack the Tappert Brothers,

and we're broadcasting from the politically incorrect but funny division here at Car Talk Plaza.

Bebe, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Special news item here.

Phoenix, Arizona, Reuters.

Police say they are hunting a, quote, very ugly woman, end quote, suspected of a string of bank robberies in Arizona and justify using the description by saying it is the best they have.

She is believed to have robbed seven Phoenix area bank branches.

She's been described by every victim who has seen her as a very ugly woman.

Now, you know what's going to happen, don't you?

Well, the ACLU is going to come and sue the police department in Phoenix

because they're going to say it's detrimental to this poor woman's self-esteem

and that she's going to suffer irreparably because she was referred to as very ugly in the media. Doug says the ACLU is going to support it because it's free speech. They're going to be on the horns of a dilemma. Well, free speech is only free speech. It's only free speech if it's uttered by an individual. If it's uttered by a government agency, it is not free speech.

So you think they're going to be on the side of the woman?

Absolutely. If they can stand to look at her.

I hope they tried to defend her. Then she'll have to sit next to them in court for a month.

Well, fortunately, you don't have to stand looking at us.

You can call us on the phone.

The number is 1-888-car talk.

Well, maybe this woman should have a radio show.

She's obviously going to face-made for radio.
