My guess is that Mr. P will send a nice letter back next week saying that he would like to, but gubmint lawyers agree that the bailout doesn't provide coverage for GM. Then, in the lamest duck session, Pelosi will attach an innocuous amendment to the stimulus bill that no one will notice giving Mr. P authority. Then Mr. P will say he would like to, but GM is dead and he is leaving Dec. 1 to spend more time with his family.<BR/><BR/>I think the most important issue here is who are GM's lobbyists, and why didn't they get language into the bailout to cover them in the first place?<BR/><BR/>anonyman for OAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-67737700282520042022008-11-09T16:10:00.000-05:002008-11-09T16:10:00.000-05:00Airlines.
