Good story. I live in Tennessee; Bob Corker is my Senator. Up until now, he's been pretty independent-minded, for a Republican, so needless to say his derailing of the auto bailout disappointed me mightily.
Corker might be excited about the VW plant coming to Chattanooga but he forgets that General Motors is already the largest employer in Spring Hill, TN, at the Saturn plant. Spring Hill was once the pride of Tennessee, a growing and prosperous community symbolic of the "New South." Last night's local TV broadcasts were all over the news that 2,000 people would be layed off in Spring Hill, just in time for Christmas.
Thanks, Senator Corker. And thanks to all the Tennesseans who voted for this guy because they were afraid that Harold Ford Jr. would steal your white women.
Elections have consequences.
