GM sends global warming denier to Colbert to promote their "no make up wearing woman" attracting car

If anyone needs an obvious example of what's wrong with GM management, this is it.

GM sends Bob Lutz to the Colbert Report to promote their "modern" GM Volt. Lutz is a stodgy old white haired guy. He brags about wanting to control the entire economy. He claims that global warming by CO2 is refuted by 30 of the worlds leading scientists. When Colbert asks if the Chevy Volt will help guys pick up chicks, Lutz says yes..."women who don't wear make up."

The fact that GM sends a 72 year old executive to promote a "new" environmentally efficient car is so tone deaf it's shocking. But that's GM for you. They wanted to shove 6 and 8 cylinders down your throat and you were supposed to be grateful.

3. Who wants to go out with a woman
That needs to slather on makeup like a trollop to look attractive? h/t John McCain :)

Truly attractive women don't need to gild the lily.
