Trickle-Down Bailout

The Web's two most prolific octogenarian bloggers have a perfect solution to the failing auto industry: let Big Oil bail 'em out.

It's certainly a good dose of partisan vitriol, but I'd like to think you can't help but enjoy this:

So the oil companies are once again boasting record profits and yet the auto makers are asking for some government cheese.  Does anyone else see the irony here?  So I’ve got a little trickle down theory of my own.  As long as Detroit continues to make cars for the Gas-Capades let the oil companies bail them out.  It’s a  “robbing Peter to pay Paul” kind of thing except in this case Peter and Paul seem to be riding the short bus…  and it’s not to save on gas.

Is anyone else as pissed about all of this as I am?  Eight years ago - 8 YEARS AGO - a brilliant politician who was asking for your vote to become President said this: “We can have a next-stage prosperity where you don’t have to build your lives around a fuel source that is distant, uncertain and easily manipulated. We will demand and develop new technologies to free ourselves from gas-tank price-gouging, and we will sell those technologies to the world. We’ll build a new generation of fuel-efficient vehicles — and then make it easy for families to afford them.“   And that politician, Al Gore, received the majority of votes in the nation and then the Supreme Court told the nation to sit down and shut up.

OK.  Now I am all worked up again.  Republicans - each and every last one of you - need to reach for the nearest gas pump and then promptly stick it so far up your ass that only Sarah Palin’s “Pipeline From Jesus” can find it.  How could you do this to us?  An idiot.  You put an idiot in charge of things and sat by for EIGHT years while the nation and the world fell apart. And if that wasn’t enough, 58 million of you wanted to replace Laurel with Hardy as the next president.  Sweet Jesus if I could jump through this computer screen and slap the crap out of 58 million of you I would.

Everyday is precious.  EVERYDAY.   And we just pissed away 2,920.

Never again.
