      BAD capitalist! BAD!
      (And incidentally, Rush's high-mindedness didn't stop him from doing a guest voice on a TV show that has depicted SS officers as wearing "McCain-Palin" buttons.)

        You think GM is going to advertise on a show where the performer criticizes their every move? What kind of mixed message is that? I mean, BP advertises on MSNBC.com. They're the only ads I'll watch, just because I want to fully understand their hubris in thinking that they can convince anyone of their own altruism.

      Makes sense.

      I mean, who in the world would want to be seen in a POS that'll sell for a measly 42 grand?

      I doubt if an electric car could support him, either.

        not a thing. Limpy is lying that nobody wants them. He's also dishonest about how far they'll go.

        "Volt is an electric car that uses gas to create its own electricity. Plug it in, let it charge overnight, and it's ready to run on a pure electric charge for up to 40 miles(3) — gas and emissions free. After that, Volt keeps going, even if you can't plug it in. Volt uses a range-extending gas generator that produces enough energy to power it for hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas."

        It's a reflexive thing with Troglodytes, because their lords in the Gas and Oil industry oppose electric cars.... for obvious reasons.

      More revisionist history from BLIMPuagh the uneducated. Basically he is lying. GM DUMPED him after his racism caused a boycott of his advertisers. Fatty thinks we have short memories or can't use "the googles" on the "inter-tubes"

        Actually, diesel-electric locomotives use electric traction motors because of their suitability for moving big loads.
