Remind me again why we should bail out the big 3 auto makers? Yes, I realize they're huge employers and shutting them down would result in loads of unemployed workers in not only the auto industry but through the ripple effect in secondary industries, too. I also realize that Detroit is becoming a ghost town and this wouldn't help.
But.
On Thursday the CEOs from Ford, GM and Chrysler arrived in Washington DC to plead their cases. They all wanted to stress how very desperate they are to get their hands on billions of dollars of aid. This is after the $25 billion they already received. After acknowledging that they lose hundreds of millions of dollars PER DAY.
And yet those rat bastard CEOs had the audacity to fly to DC on three separate private jets. To now turn around and shake that tin cup takes an unbelievable set of balls. I say those fuckers get nothing in the way of salaries or bonuses and they need to personally kick in towards saving the companies that they helped ruin. Oh, and stop making gas guzzlers, dumbasses.

Rat bastards every one, yes. I think they should all be forced to spend the rest of their time on earth living together inside the rusting shell of a 71 Pinto BUT...
Let's just write GM their goddamn $25B check, tell 'em that's all they get even after they've pissed it all away on jet-fuel & cocktail onions, and turn our attention to the REAL problem, which is the fact that Hank Paulson and his Wall St. frat brohim are -- even as I type this -- squirreling away upwards of $2.7 TRILLION in US Federal funds into private banking institutions that they could, in a stroke, move to Dubai.
GM is a giant, stinking RED HERRING.

Sara - Nat and I agree that if Rachel Maddow ever wants some time off, you'd be her perfect replacement.

They are out of touch with the real world which is why they never heard of "jetpooling".
