There is nothing more pathetic than watching the congressional hearings over the Toyota automobile recalls and the way the politicians were talking to these guys.    Here are captains of industry,   Men and women that worked their way up the corporate ladder to become top level executives at one of the largest auto makers in the world,  and they are having to answer questions from common criminals on Washington.

All of our elected officials are nothing more than glorified welfare recipients.   They suck of the public teat because they are losers that couldn’t make it in the private sector.    They sit their asking their stupid questions as if they know something that the Toyota officials do not.

Its an absolute travesty.   Watching the hearings makes me embarrassed to be an American.    If I were Mr. Toyoda,  I would have not even shown up to the congressional hearings.   I would have sent the guy that sweeps  the parking lot at the factory and my gardener to speak in front of their hearing panel.

Who do we thing we are attacking Toyota?   So they made some crappy cars and covered it up.   Its nothing that Ford,  Chevrolet and Chrysler haven’t done a thousand times before.

Anyone old enough to remember the Chrysler Cordoba,  with its “Fine Corinthian leather”  will remember that the car was such a colossal piece of shit that Chrysler nearly collapsed under the costs to fix the thing.

The Ford Pinto?   Another piece of crap built by Ford that ran for about a week before the thing fell apart.

The Chevy Vega?   I got an idea. Lets make a car with a really cheap engine block that wears out after 30,000 miles.  That was the Vega.

These are but a few examples of what the American auto industry has foisted upon an unsuspecting American public.

The real issue is this.   Toyota will not hire United Automobile Workers union members to work in their American factories.   This has long infuriated the democrats in Washington.

These are the same union members that have decimated the American Auto industry and caused General Motors to collapse under the weight of the union pensions and demands from the union to pay more money for less work.

The UAW is directly responsible for the collapse of the American auto industry and the reason that Toyota is the number one selling car in America in the first place.

This is the primary reason the Washington democrats are holding the hearings in the first place.  To shame Toyota and put the American car manufacturer in a better light to the American consumer.

What Mr. Toyoda should have done was walked into the room,  dropped my drawers and laid a hot steaming pile of shit on the floor.    Bob
