[lbo-talk] Give 'em the money , ha ha ha !

[Charles Brown]

Jon Stewart of Comedy Central’s Daily Show wrapped up a rant on the
Wall Street bail-out versus the auto industry loans with a plea Thursday
night to “give them the money” that had his studio audience
cheering. 

“Now that’s the things about cars,” Stewart said after admitting
that his first vehicle was an AMC Gremlin, “even the crappy ones are
useful.

“But you won’t bail out the people who make cars,” he told
Congress. “You’ll only bail out the people who make car loans. Not
even car loans. The people you bailed out made derivative paper
transfers speculating on the future value of enormous groupings of said
loans to China.

“Fine. Detroit’s business model is bad. We know they lose $2,000
for every car they sell. Wall St. lost $7 trillion without selling
anything. At least when Detroit loses money, we get cars. So give them
the money!”
