Right on cue

A couple of hours after the previous post was posted, the New York Times came out with a story in which Republican Senator Bob Corker blames United Auto Workers President Ron Gettelfinger for the failure of the proposed auto makers' bailout, saying that the UAW would not make adequate, timely concessions that the Republicans wanted as a condition of voting for the bailout.  Gettelfinger, in turn, quoted Corker as telling a union representative that the Uprposed AW concessions were "largely a question of politics in the GOP caucus."  We may not be able to afford movies, or even cable TV, in the coming depression, but politics will always be there to entertain us.
