Picking Losers
How are we going to build tanks


Well STOOPID STABENOW, we don't have a tank production line you moran....another failed MI politician, the failed state's finest got her panties taken off on Hardball

The zinger Friedman:

    The blame for this travesty not only belongs to the auto executives, but must be shared equally with the entire Michigan delegation in the House and Senate, virtually all of whom, year after year, voted however the Detroit automakers and unions instructed them to vote. That shielded General Motors, Ford and Chrysler from environmental concerns, mileage concerns and the full impact of global competition that could have forced Detroit to adapt long ago.

Latest FaBlog: Fait Diver -- The Far-From-Divine Miss R

Yet ANOTHER disturbing association from Barack Obama's past!

40166. David Ehrenstein - 11/15/2008 4:22:19 PM

FAR more disturbing than Ayers, if true. I'm not putting it past Miss Rove to lie like the proverbial rug.

I was astonished to see Ashton Kutcher on Real Time last night show that he has more savvy about politics than Sarah Palin! Demi must be a great teacher. ;-)

GOP to Wonkers: Drop Dead

Kenneth Troske, director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Kentucky, said McConnell might not be a favorite of the auto unions but the industry’s prominence in Kentucky puts him in a bind. “He’s obviously in a difficult position,” Troske said.

Still, Troske added, an auto maker bailout would do more harm than good over the long run because it would set a precedent that some companies are too big to fail. The better alternative for the Big Three would be a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, Troske contended. Stockholders and pensioners would be hurt, but the companies would keep operating.

“They’ll continue to produce cars; they’ll continue to sell cars,” Troske said. “The executives would get fired, but they’ve already proven that they don’t know how to run a company.”

The Moose Stops Here
By FRANK RICH

ELECTION junkies in acute withdrawal need suffer no longer. Though the exciting Obama-McCain race is over, the cockfight among the losers has only just begun. The conservative crackup may be ugly, but as entertainment, it’s two thumbs up!

Over at Fox News, Greta Van Susteren has been trashing the credibility of her own network’s chief political correspondent, Carl Cameron, for his report on Sarah Palin’s inability to identify Africa as a continent, while Bill O’Reilly valiantly defends Cameron’s honor. At Slate, a post-mortem of conservative intellectuals descended into name-calling, with the writer Ross Douthat of The Atlantic labeling the legal scholar Douglas Kmiec a “useful idiot.”
