This is Not About Sarah Palin

Toyota, more than any other foreign company, contributed to the demise of the our auto industry. It’s therefore ironic that Toyota’s collapse might be responsible for the return of the American car.

If I were of a punning nature, I would call this “carma.”

Of course the major culprits are the American auto industry decision makers who saw the VW bug in the 60s, the tiny Toyotas and Nissans in the 70s and 80s suddenly invading our shores – and shrugged their shoulders. Toyota simply did what any other savvy business would do – saw a market and exploited it. /And, like any other business, they got ft, and cocky and lazy and are now paying the price.

But so are the American workers at the Fremont, CA Toyota-GM plant, soon to be closed. Toyota’s decision to stop making cars in Fremont in March will idle 4,700 workers at the New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. factory and send a job loss shockwave through more than a thousand California companies that supply parts to the only automotive plant on the West Coast.

This morning on the Stephanie Miller Show, John Fuegelsang pointed out that when the Dixie Chicks, while in Great Britain, said they were ashamed that Bush was their President, they were called traitors in the right-wing media.
But when Sarah Palin criticizes our President while in Hong Kong, there’s not a peep.
Next to the definition of hypocrisy in the dictionary is a picture of the GOP elephant.
Much better than my Jane Fonda analogy: who remembers her?

Ms. Palin took her show on the road Wednesday, in a speech to CSLA, and Asian investment firm. She criticized the Obama administration’s foreign policy, suggesting it made the US appear weak in the eyes of the world.
In July of 1972, actress Jane Fonda visited Hanoi, North Vietnam.

She harshly criticized the US war effort, saying that we were deliberately bombing the dikes along the Red River to destroy the country.
In 1988 Jane Fonda apologized for her claims and for the photo above, saying she would regret it until she died.
