Letter to the editor:
Now that we’re going to bail out the Big Three automakers, perhaps it’s also time for a “Car Czar” oversight pick that would really represent change. How about Ralph Nader?
I can’t imagine anyone else as well informed, well intentioned and completely free of any complicity in the current deplorable performance and condition of General Motors, Chrysler and Ford.
Does anyone doubt we’d get a whole different and much better set of wheels out of the deal? Can you imagine how much success the auto executives would have trying to pull the wool over Nader’s eyes?
SETH TANE
Really, it should have been Nader or Joan Claybrook. I understand Nader has “tarnished” his name in the eyes of the Democrats and has no chance of being in an appointed position, but there is no good reason for Claybrook to be shut out by the Obama administration. She has the texperience of leading the nation’s most prestigous consumer advocacy group and is outside of the corporate politics that run D.C.
And I suspect you, Catholic Trotskyist, are secretly a Democrat. Oh, wait, you’re nothing but.
I was referring to the progression being so predictable
There was no car czar before this, so that wouldn’t have been changed. And I still think Ralph Nader is a secret Republican.
How about some real change? No “car czar”? Now, that would really be different.
