Stupid, stupid, stupid.....


The last time the big three automakers came to Congress, all the House members grandstanded complaining how the CEO's came on corporate jets.

So, this time, the CEO's all drove the 9 hour trip from Detroit to Washington.

I understand the optics, but doesn't it seem stupid that these guys, with their companies on the ropes, have to spend two full days driving to and from rather than spending that time trying to save their companies?
