Is this a veiled barb directed at Obama? He's presiding over the bankruptcy of GM, essentially forced by his administration, and there are quite a few nude photos of his mother floating around the web.

Just finished reading the entire article in today’s Wall Street Journal. I hope everyone can link to it. P.J. O’Rourke can be very amusing. Sadly, he’s got a pretty good read on the tea leaves when it comes to really great cars.
If you ever have an opportunity to attend a reading or book tour by him, do so. He can be a lot of fun off-the-cuff. Several years ago, a bunch of us attended one of his speaking engagements at a private club. We were astonished when he joined us outside for a smoke. We had fun talking about the cigars we were smoking and the idiotic nanny state antismoking laws.
Great article! Only fools made cars and we loved them.
The shareholders deserve most of the blame. It seems they weren’t “watching the store”. You can’t just accept your ROI and then cry when things go south.
