This is a spoof right? I mean US Senators don't go around upsetting lobbyists like that anymore.

MCO....Moody's Corporation WTF. A discredited rating company is essential to prevent the world collapsing?

Er, don't the auto companies have finance arms. Yes? Then they too are entitled to a bailout!
