Thanks Jay Leno...

In an exclusive interview with PM, Jay Leno gives us his take on the auto bailout:

I think we should bail them out. To me it’s like class warfare. The white-collar guys get a bailout and the blue-collar guys don’t? That’s crazy. You know, I’d rather help a guy with a wrench in his hand than some guy sitting in front of a keyboard.

We’ve given the banks $700 billion. Does it seem like anything has actually happened with that money? No. But when a factory closes, boy, you’ll see the effect of that right away. You’ll see towns go under and you’ll see lives ruined. That town will never be a manufacturing center again. At best those old buildings will become a mall or a Wal-Mart.

I look at it this way: I don’t necessarily want to loan my brother-in-law money, but he’s family. To me, GM, Ford, Chrysler and the suppliers that go along with them are our family.

1. Jay started out life as a Rolls Royce mechanic, I believe.

Not sure of the make of car, but I think it was Rolls Royce. He knows what it's like to have a wrench in his hand.

2. Fuck Jay Leno.

He is a tool and has allowed his program to be a used to promote cults, GOPers and their lies.

I'd rather hear from people who work for a living.

7. Leno

Leno is one of the best celebrity car guys America has.

I prefer Letterman's humor, but Jay deserves recognition for his hard core car guy status.

And he's had both Ashley and John Force on his show!
