Iacocca's book: 'Clueless bozos' are running the country

FREE PRESS WASHINGTON BUREAU
Former Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca tears into the Bush administration and the U.S. auto industry in a new book, saying America's political leaders have failed the nation and urging voters to pick more carefully in 2008.

The 82-year-old Iacocca -- who was urged to run for president in the 1980s after turning around Chrysler -- also says he's for higher federal fuel economy standards, warns that Chrysler could become a "shattered remnant" if sold, and offers suggestions for Detroit's automakers to turn their businesses around.

"We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car," Iacocca and co-author Catherine Whitney write in the first page of "Where Have All The Leaders Gone?"

"I hardly recognize this country anymore," he wrote.

1. They are anything but "clueless bozos".

They know exactly what they are doing.

3. I think Bush and people like the failed FEMA guy (sorry, his name escapes me)

are clueless bozos. Bush also has a personality disorder (narcissism) that makes him easy to manipulate.

Rove and the neo-cons know exactly what they're doing. You're right about that.

2. It's a mixture

A few very manipulative evil characters making very good use
of some clueless bozos that they are using for their own
purposes (and if that happens to mean to the country's
detriment, then, in their point of view, that's just too
freakin' bad).

The ones who know what they are doing keep to the background
and let the ones who are clueless be on the front pages of
the newspapers. Cheney is the only exception because as of
now, he isn't running for anything. Après moi, who gives a merde?

4. This from the asshole who backed DeVos in MI

Screw you Lee.

6. What he's saying now will help us. I hope he sells lots of books. n/t

5. Interesting. I believe Iacocca is respected among right wingers

This might help turn some of that indoctrinated 30% around.

7. I think he is influential and could make something of a difference.
