Senate Bails On Bailout, Detroit Radio Lashes Back

While you can't always count on music radio stations to acknowledge the news these days, I didn't have to wait long to hear a Detroit radio station respond to the Senate's rejection of a congressional bailout plan for the Big Three U.S. automakers last night. Within minutes of turning on Hot AC WDVD, morning hosts Blaine, Lisa and Allyson were discussing the lack of a bailout and the new hopes that the Bush administration would find other funds. ("He needs to do something to fix that legacy," one commented.) A few minutes later, there was a parody of the "Real Men of Genius" spots assailing "Mr. Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Congressman Guy" -- the hypocrisy being willingness to bail out financial institutions. The bit ended with "WDVD -- Detroit, Michigan -- Home of the American auto-industry."
