Lee Launches a Bomb

Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course."

Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!

Michael Moore? Bill Maher? Keith Olbermann? No, Lee Iacocca.

A former corporate titan seems an unlikely author for such a rant, but that makes it even more powerful. It's from Iacocca's new book, Where Have All the Leaders Gone? You can read the full excerpt here.
