Of course if you drove your own car and ate at a sandwich shop on the way we'll give you $25 billion of taxpayer money. The big 3 automakers drove to Washington today instead of flying their private pimp planes, and they even deigned to eat with the peasants at Quiznos. Quiznos? Everyone knows this is the richer cousin of Subway. If they were really trying to score points with the lawmakers they're facing today (who also have probably never eaten at a fast-food sandwich shop in their lives) they should have got a greasy bucket of KFC. Then and only then will you get that $25 billion Christmas present you're begging for. Well, why didn't you say that?
