CONFLICT OF INTEREST

As Democrats in Congress, and the state-run media, continue to howl in outrage over the crimes of Toyota, I find myself wondering about the NEXT big recall.

What if it’s GM? What if GM is the next car company with faulty brakes or stuck accelerators? Don’t we have to wonder whether the car manufacturer that is now run by Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank and Harry Reid will come in for the same sort of media and Congressional scrutiny if their windshields start shattering on rainy days or their gas tanks start exploding?

At this point, the very LAST entity with any moral authority to investigate Toyota is the United States government. Isn’t this like investing Exxon Mobil with police power and asking them to determine whether Chevron is paying all its taxes? Isn’t it a bit like giving Glaxo subpoena power and telling them to check on whether Merck is following FDA regulations? Isn’t it pretty much the same thing as sending Pathmark investigators into Acme stores to look for health code violations?
