By FITSNews || The CEO of Toyota (whose last name is Toyoda, oddly enough) is saying “thanks but no thanks” to being hauled before the U.S. Supreme Soviet … errr, Congress.
Akio Toyoda says he will send his North American chief Yoshi Inaba to testify before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce committee instead.
Good for Toyoda … as the sole purpose of these “hearings” is clearly for the federal government (led by President “Badwrench” Obama) to heap further embarrassment on ToyoTa in an effort to prop up soft sales at its taxpayer-owned, money-losing car dealership.
Seriously, why should Toyoda testify? About Toyota?
He’s a Japanese citizen.
If we were him, we’d have told the U.S. Congress to go and f*ck itself, or “LTBOMB”* as our founding editor says.
In fact, if the U.S. Congress, the S.C. General Assembly or any other legislative branch of government tried to compel us to testify, that’s what we would tell them.
Wait … scratch that … we’re attention whores.
So we would testify, we would just be smug, possibly profane assholes about it.

The government, in this case backed by the union saturation of GM, has a clear conflict of interest in owning companies that are in direct competition with Toyota. The problems have been determined, the solutions are in process. Sec. LaHood and the union-supported Democrat heads of the committees holding hearings on this matter should step back and allow the private sector to function without biased interference.

Shit I’d rather buy a Toyota that will accelerate than a GM or Chevy where the fucking transmission falls out the bottom. And if I were in his position and congress called me down there to testify while they grandstand, I’d send a pair of sock puppets in the form of a floor mat and a break pedal as proxy and sit back and count my cash.
