I am editing out my very ugly remark about Lee Iacoca.

[Maddy McCall]

I am sorry. It was a pot shot. :shrug: :(

[merh]

1. Now, now - be nice.

He backed Kerry during the elections.

He knew the weed would ruin us. :grr:

:hi: :pals:

[Maddy McCall]

4. Really?

He's just so..... OLD. Seems like I remember him reworking Chrystler when I was a kid, and he was old then. Maybe my memory's screwed up.

I didn't know that he was a Kerry supporter. I take it back.

:hi:

[merh]

9. Check it out (and yes he is old)

Iacocca Changes Support From Bush to Kerry

7 minutes ago

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Four years after former Chrysler Corp. chairman Lee Iacocca cut ads supporting George W. Bush's election, he's switching alliances to presidential challenger John Kerry (news - web sites).

Iacocca decided to announce his endorsement in person at a Kerry speech Thursday on creating high-tech industry jobs in Silicon Valley.

Iacocca, 79, gained a reputation as a champion of innovation within the automotive industry. He oversaw the development of the Ford Mustang in the 1960s and later the minivan and electric vehicles while at Chrysler Corp. He is the chairman and founder of EV Global Motors Co., a Los Angeles-based firm that designs electronic bicycles.

In a television ad that aired in Michigan during the 2000 campaign, Iacocca criticized Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore (news - web sites) on automotive issues, contending that Gore's environmentally "extreme ideas" could cost autoworkers their jobs.

10. Alright. You got me.

He just gave me shivers when I was a kid. I think it was those windshield sized glasses. :D

[merh]

12. LOL - oh, he is no saint - he made his fortune at Chrysler

and wrote book bragging about it, but he was a much more able CEO than anything out there today. And he did wise up and endorse Kerry because he recognized that Bush would destroy our economy.

:-)

2. Compared to some of the CEO's nowadays like Ken Lay...

Lee Iacocca comes off as a saint.

And that's kind of sad that that comparison can be made.

[Maddy McCall]

5. I take it back...

Lee looked like a spring chicken in that Chrysler commercial.

:hi:

[napi21]

3. awe, come on now. I like Lee! He's one of the last fair CEO's

in the BIG Corporate world.

[Maddy McCall]

6. Ok, Ok, but he's still ancient. :-)
