Plus I thought it was settled that when he made fun of Whomod beating up his family that wasn't attacking Whomod's family but just Whomod and it was ok to do that. Granted I know you have a double standard for me because I'm a liberal but I wasn't even going as far as joking about spousal abuse.

Sorry but I have to find you guilty of first degree hypocrisy.


* I was at an auto dealership (Gunther Volkswagen, in Pompano, FL) as part of a group meeting six days ago. Our Vice President asked one of the managers about his thoughts on the Cash For Clunkers program. His answer was that they had purchased 400 cars on the program, and that each car took 20 pages of paperwork, that they had to hire 3 full time employees just to handle that paperwork, that if there was even the slightest error the government bounced back the paperwork to be re-done. That they had yet to be paid for even one of the 400 cars they purchased on the program, that the capital they have locked up in these cars holds back their ability to purchase, with no promised date of government reimbursement, or any guarantee whatsoever that they even will be reimbursed at all. That they had discontinued their participation in the Cash For Clunkers program even before the government ended the program last week.

But oh yeah, Cash For Clunkers is helping the industry.
