It’s a general rule of thumb that whenever a politician says something negative about their opposition, they better not be guilty of the same thing, otherwise they would end up looking incredibly foolish.
The latest pol to suffer from this is Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Since she began her tenure as head of the DNC, Wasserman Schultz has gone on the offensive against the Republicans. She accused the GOP of “waging war on the unemployed” and slammed their budget proposal as a “path to poverty.” But her latest attack on the opposition backfired in a major way.
Wasserman Schultz appeared at a breakfast for reporters and called out the Republican candidates for president who were very critical of the 2009 auto bailouts:
"If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars; they would have let the auto industry in America go down the tubes."
So we can infer that if Wasserman Schultz had her way, we would not be driving foreign cars. We would be driving automobiles made right here in America!
Well, what an error that would be. Luckily, her garage was on hand to clarify her position.
[A]ccording to Florida motor vehicle records, the Wasserman Schultz household owns a 2010 Infiniti FX35, a Japanese car whose parent company is Nissan, another Japanese company. The car appears to be hers, since its license plate includes her initials.
Obviously, it’s not entirely fair to base her position on domestic car manufacturers by what she drives to work. Her voting record would be a more accurate way of measuring it. However, if you’re going to throw stones, make sure your house is not made of glass first.

IIRC, a former president of the Sierra Club passed away and it was discovered he had built a deck onto his house made from “protected” Redwood trees.
I went from GM to ford after the bail out. Bought a 01 Windstar. it got recalled for axles breaking. So while it was sitting (for 5 months!) it was also recalled for the subframe rusting and failing.. So, they put a axle in it, and then repaired the subframe while paying 40 dollars a day for a rental. Remember, I was in a rental for 6 months while this all went on.
Van is done. I get the call “your oil pan is full of coolant and your radiator is empty. bring a tow truck”..
I junked the windstar band new axle and all. I drove it in to the dealership with never a sign of troubles with the coolant or oil. Had just over 100K on it.
Still hating GM/Chrysler more than Ford I bought a 99 Sable.
Guess what. the sub frame is rusted through and ford at this point is unwilling to fix it even though its a common problem. Car has a tick over 90K on it. Had 75K on it when I bought it a few months back.
Not sure how I can keep buying american when all 3 car companies feel their customers are their personal toilets.
from your lips to God’s ear!!
Saw an old clunker going down the road one day, painted mostly primer color....bumper sticker said “Proud To Be Union”.
I hope you’re right that we’re not at the point of no return. But I can’t understand why anyone would want to be president without a congress that’s at least 61% supportive. Otherwise, when it all crashes who gets the blame?
