The New Economy

by Wonkette Jr.

This morning, Ford announced the end of 30,000 jobs. This week, the guy in charge of that decision is grinning at you from newstands nationwide: he’s Time‘s cover model. The headline? “CAN THIS MAN SAVE THE AUTO INDUSTRY?”

Hefty task for a guy who not only failed save his workers’ jobs, but proved so personally repellent to gainful employment that the Newsweek scion who wrote his cover story got fired a couple days ago.

Welcome to the “new” economy. It’s new because you’re not in it.
