Wait For It… Wait For It…

By Dealbreaker

When it comes to superlatives, context matters. That is why you don’t get bent out of shape being impressed with the member of the Yale graduating class “most likely to run a small island dictatorship” or the law school student “most likely to win the Nobel prize,” or, perhaps, “the best martial artist Detroit has to offer.” As such, you should be decidedly unimpressed when career Big Auto personality Bob Lutz announces his pick for Best… CEO… Evah.
Rick Wagoner.
We shudder to think who was runner up.

    Any respect I had for Lutz just went away. Yes, I realize it was his boss, but still.

    Any respect I had for Lutz just flew right out the window, crashed onto a few branches on the way down, and went smack into the open man-hole cover and into the sewage-tinged nether-world

    And when Rick Wagoner decides to bestow the symbolic $1 a year salary on Bob Lutz to save the industry, then how will Lutz vote?
