Following in Clemens' wake

A few posts back I suggested that the Exxon with its unimaginable billions help bail out the auto industry. Now I read this on andrewsullivan.com from Margaret and Helen:

So the oil companies are once again boasting record profits and yet the auto makers are asking for some government cheese. Does anyone else see the irony here? So I’ve got a little trickle down theory of my own. As long as Detroit continues to make cars for the Gas-Capades let the oil companies bail them out.

Personally, I see it as a match made in heaven. Wonder why no one else is picking it up?
