Lee Iacocca is Mad as Hell
. . . And Takes it out mostly on George W.

Ex-Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca has written a new book called Where Have all the Leaders Gone. He has some choice words about the man in the White House. Here's a quote from a chapter that is available free on the Buy.com website:

My friends tell me to calm down. They say, "Lee, you're eighty-two years
old. Leave the rage to the young people." I'd love to -- as soon as I can pry
them away from their iPods for five seconds and get them to pay attention. I'm
going to speak up because it's my patriotic duty. I think people will listen to
me. They say I have a reputation as a straight shooter. So I'll tell you how I
see it, and it's not pretty, but at least it's real. I'm hoping to strike a
nerve in those young folks who say they don't vote because they don't trust
politicians to represent their interests. Hey, America, wake up. These guys work
for us.
WHO ARE THESE GUYS, ANYWAY?
Why are we in this mess? How did we
end up with this crowd in Washington? Well, we voted for them -- or at least
some of us did. But I'll tell you what we didn't do. We didn't agree to suspend
the Constitution. We didn't agree to stop asking questions or demanding answers.
Some of us are sick and tired of people who call free speech treason. Where I
come from that's a dictatorship, not a democracy.
