At a San Jose fundraiser former GM Chairman Lee Iacocca endorsed Kerry for President on Friday. Iacocca in 2000 endorsed Shrub but has changed his mind because of the over 134,000 lost manufacturing jobs in Michigan under Shrub.

Welcome aboard Lee!

Are we supposed to feel proud of a guy coming on board who really doesnt care about factory workers losing their jobs? Nice of him to say he does now, but what about the 1980s?

Well, that's the kiss of death.

I predict that if Kerry wins, we'll all be driving lousy, unreliable, underpowered cars with vinyl tops, fake wire wheels, and fake wood paneling. The engines will be pouring out smoke at 50k miles, but that's OK; the transmissions will have failed at 30k miles.

It's an '83. If you remember the era, you can hardly be surprised.

Edited to add:

and

Quick, Robin, to the Batcave!

and to change my original phrase "fake vinyl tops" to "vinyl tops" because only real vinyl could look that ugly.

His name was originally Lido rather than Lee. He changed "Lee Iaccoca" to "Iaccoca Lee" to sell cars in the redneck south. Most of his life he seems to have been willing to adjust his ethics and even his name to make money. Perhaps he has undergone a true change of heart. Only time will tell. But I would be satisfied with the explanation that Geroge W. Bush is bad for business and folk like Iaccoca and Soros know it.
