ALL of our reps kissed ass on the Trillion Dollar Give Away but they think they can jerk around automakers because gee, I can always buy a Toyota.
I think they should just scrape all these parasites out of Washington and try some new ones. None of them have any cred left.

God forbid a congressman - who is no more overpaid and elitist than the CEO's he has before him, should assert himself in HIS own hearings.
Jesus, people ...
Can we go back to talking about cars? Or will my gay ass threaten you too?

Mulally = Ford.
Volare was a Plymouth.

Ironically enough, Nardelli would get the same reaction if he played that card.

Right now, he is hiring a dozen P.I.'s to dig up any piece of dirt on Frank that can possibly be found.

They also sorta played a hand in the current problems of the Big Three. Ford, GM, and Chrysler haven't been totally free to run their businesses as market demands dictate since 1968, when a bunch of politicians suddenly decided they knew more about the car industry than the car industry.
No surprise, then that Detroit has made fewer relevant products in the 40 years since 1968 than in the 15 years prior.
Congress:
Americans like big cars - pass CAFE to force Detroit to discontinue big cars
Detroit:
Build SUVs to fill gap left by disappearance of big cars
Congress:
Do their best to ban SUVs and finally get Americans into Aixams and Ligiers, except the FMVSS makes those illegal .
"God damn it, there will be no more V8s!"
