GM kills Saab

GM deserves to be dead.
Their pulse was gone.
They were walking into the light.
Until the generosity of the American taxpayer
pulled them out of their death throes
and gave them mouth to mouth.
Now Ed Whitacre
the CEO of GM
is administering the coup de grace
to SAAB
with a bloodthirsty grin on his 
greedy face.
Never mind that offers are made
to save the car maker.
Yet GM claims they are not legitimate
and make excuses for why they can't sell.
Instead they will just kill a brand that has true followers
and is shown real love.
The simple truth:
Whitacre hates that none of his own homegrown brands:
Chevrolet
Cadillac
Buick
GMC
is ever shown such support.
"How can anyone support a foreign brand" he asks himself, sitting in his silk pajamas in his multimillion dollar mansion, "when we've got these homegrown brands."
Never mind that they are all dull, boring, and uninspired.
Underpowered automatics driven by brainless hillbillies.
No one ever puts a Calvin pissing on a Volvo logo on their Saab, do they?

Face it. Ed Whitacre is not homeless because at the moment of death, his company received a misguided transfusion of funds from the largesse of the American people vis a vis the US government.
But now he and his team are about to make 3400+ employees of Saab suffer the fate he was spared.
