Over at The Truth About Cars there’s a post about the leadership of the New GM, with a great line, mixing all sorts of references:
I have no idea why Mark LaNeve still works for General Motors. The former Cadillac man was serving Kool-Aid on the bridge when CEO Rick Wagoner was Richard Nixon channeling Captain Queeg. When Old GM sank into bankruptcy, LaNeve (and Bob Lutz and Fritz Henderson and the whole damn crew) should have gone down with the ship. Instead, they transferred to another boat and headed straight for the same iceberg. No surprise there: hitting icebergs is who they are and what they do.
Change a few names, and you’d have some of Whitewater’s long-term incumbents and bureaucrats down pat.
