I was listening to the local pop station this morning, and the three usually inane DJs were enraged by the auto bailout story, particularly the part of the story that had even Congressmen marveling at Detroit’s tinnest political ears:
ABC’s evening newscast went with the story last night, going so far as to look up coinciding flights on Expedia, from Detroit to Dulles. There were 12 of them, starting at about $200. The last Rasmussen poll showed more than 40 percent opposed an auto bailout, with 70 percent worried the government would run out of money if it kept traveling this road. Now that the jet story has reached “Fey effect” levels of pop-culture exposure, it may very well keep Congress from rewarding the Big Three’s jet-setting paupers with our money. I’m with Mitt. Let ’em go.
