Three guys at The Motley Fool have put together a list of candidates for Car Czar, including:
Mitt Romney
- Pros: Experienced businessman; successful politician; perfect head of hair.
- Cons: Hair too perfect. Most likely part of a costume to disguise long-suspected fact that he is a robot. Robots have eliminated enough Detroit jobs already.
Rod Blagojevich
- Pros: Illinois governor has demonstrated an uncanny appetite for cutting deals; likely to be freed of current responsibilities very soon.
- Cons: “Car Czar” required to show up for work. Cannot telecommute from prison.
Lee Iacocca
- Pros: Beloved car-industry exec from era when bailouts worked; can do his own TV commercials.
- Cons: Iacocca’s former trademark commercial pitch line — “If you can find a better car, buy it!” — seems to have resonated a little too deeply with the American public.
