COME FLY WITH ME


Yesterday’s entry, which discussed the ethical high road taken by golfer J.P. Hayes, ended with a tiny barb hurled at the auto industry CEOs who flew to Washington this week in private company jets. Timing Is everything and their little trip will forever more serve as a textbook example of the classic PR blunder.

In response to the uproar, General Motors has decided to stop leasing two of its five corporate planes.

According to GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson, the auto giant (?!?) is "very sensitive" to "the symbolic issue of people showing up in Washington in corporate jets."

Ahhhh hindsight.
