2. Maybe they don't want to get sued like the tobacco companies?

3. Maybe they're pretending to be concerned

and want to play nicey nice so the DEMS won't take away the corporate welfare Bush/Cheney gave them behind close doors. Call me skeptical!

6. Meanwhile....

Chrysler's chief economist deems global climate change overblown speculation about far-off events and warns against what he thinks are Chicken Little reactions.

GM's economist sees a coming drop in oil prices, re-invigorating the market for big iron gas-guzzlers.

Ford's economist doesn't see any linkage between the cooling housing market and auto sales, and is expecting a near-term interest rate cut by the Fed that'll save her company from bankruptcy.

With the Japanese poised to overrun the Big 3, this is the sort of "advice" they're paying big money to hear. Buh-bye Detroit, it was nice while it lasted.
