Forgot to mention that the guy's on the Jason Ellis show on Sirius XM Faction were talking about this last week. Although I think they might have picked it up via another phallus fascinated Gawker site. #stephencolbert
After all these years, we finally know the truth behind "rich Corinthian leather". Turns out, "Corinth" is actually a code word. Who knew? #stephencolbert
Although I am a registered Democrat, I don't share the enthusiasm and love of "The Colbert Report" and shows of its ilk like some of the other left-leaning members of the Jalopnik Commentariat undoubtedly do. I personally find it to be silly and disrespectful, but it can be funny at times. Make that very occasionally, as in the rare occasions that Jalopnik, Government Motors or Chrysfiat are featured.
@Old Grimey: As a pretty conservative/libertarian person, I find Colbert to be the funniest show on television. The brilliance of writing on that show is what leaves me coming back for more every night. The Daily Show is a shadow of its former self, but the Colbert Report still has him in that character that is brilliantly over the top. And Colbert's address at the White House Press Correspondance dinner several years ago is one of the greatest pieces of political satire of our time and if you can't find it funny then you have no sense of humor.

@flim: Dont you want CEO's who run their companies into the ground to get fired?
Absolutely. But do it through reforming the standards for Boards of Directors, because that's their jobs.
If we're relying on the Feds to decide when/who to fire, we've got problems. But since our nation's new mantra is "prioritization through media coverage," I can understand why it was done.
@flim: Wagoner ran GM into the ground like Obama ran the economy to shit. Except that the recent downturn in GM sales is attributable to an outside source. The economy is what is killing GM. Not the unions. Not the product line. Not Wagoner.
And since Obama "caused" the economic crisis. He should be held accountable for GM's troubles.
@flim: Precisely my point. Look at the state of GM before Wagoner took the reigns. Lots of improvement in the meantime. A few missteps as well, but then just as things were looking up... bam, shit hits the fan completely out of Wagoner's control.
I'll just say that I hope that Obama can make as many good strides to help the economy as Wagoner did to improve GM. I'm not saying that Wagoner is a saint, or that he is necessarily the best man for the job. But his ousting at the behest of our President is purely for show. I have little faith that anyone is going to do better in his position in the near term. But the public outcry necessitated a sacrifice for the loans.
@Unregular: Please understand that that was not an implication that Obama actually caused the economic turmoil, but merely an illustration that Wagoner inherited his fair share of problems when taking the helm at GM. GM was making great strides under Wagoner, and no man had the ability to maintain sales amid frozen credit markets. Toyota sales are down, too. There may have been someone who could have run GM better, but GM would've been screwed regardless or who had been running it for the past 8 years.
@lilwillie: It's especially entertaining when he can find an Alzheimers sufferer who is the honorary figurehead of a group he doesn't like. That makes it pretty easy.

He tried to get the CEO's of GM, Ford and Chrysler to change the oil in one of their vehicles.
The only CEO to do it was from Ford!

GM needed a scapegoat. It's all politics.
