They practically demand I bring back the Stupidest Republican of the Day feature:
Chris Jansing (MSNBC HOST): Let me ask you about some of the things going on on the campaign trail, and there's a controversy about Mitt Romney telling voters that jeep is going to move production to China. According to the company that's entirely false. Is he lying about that?
Marsha BLACKBURN (R-Idiotville): Oh, well, I don't know. I haven't talked with with the campaign staff about that. I will say this. For workers in the auto industry, across the board, whether it is GM, whether it's Nissan, whether it's American Motors, individuals are very concerned about the impact of regulation that the EPA and OSHA and other federal agencies are heaping on our manufacturers.
(No, it's not a pregnant Pinto)
She's from Tennessee, but that only explains part of the stupidity. The other part is out of a misplaced duty to stick up for her party's Liar-in-Chief, Mitt Romney.
Though I see many Gremlin and Pacer fix-up projects in my daily travels, American Motors went out of business in 1988. Jeep, which was once a part of that company, is now thriving under the Dodge banner. |
