I won't be buying a GM car anytime soon

Bob Lutz was the guest on the Colbert Report tonight (last night, it's after midnight. whatever). He's there to talk about the Volt, GM's new electric car. Ok, cool. Except Mr. Lutz isn't so cool. It would appear that he is a climate change denialist. Came right out and said he thought the planet might be warming, but didn't believe the "CO2 theory" was responsible. Earlier this year he said he thought global warming was "a total crock of shit".

Well, he apparently felt the need to out do him self. When Colbert got into the "man talk" and asked him if the Volt was sexy, if it would get him laid, Lutz responded that it might, but that it would attract a different type of woman. What type is that, you may ask? "...a lot of no makeup, environmentally aware [mumble]" women. Say what? Maybe I'm overreacting, but that sounds like a slam to me. Given Lutz's disregard for the environment it wouldn't surprise me that his attitudes towards women get the same regard.

I reacted the same way you did, emphatically. I told my husband, with whom I was watching Colbert, that, "I'll bet the pig that GM man fucks, wears lipstick". My husband said," I think that GM guy is in trouble with his boss".

@anonymous - I know, but since the show ends at midnight and I was typing the post after the show ended, that technically made it the next day. As I said in the post, whatever.
