Those questions didn’t come as a surprise to him. There is no way they didn’t screen what Colbert was going to ask before hand. The interview turned into an advertisement. ---

He looked very, very stupid. Seemed to barely know what was going on with the car or anything. And even with the questions rehearsed he couldn’t answer them intelligently. ---

Yep he is an idiot When he was at BMW and helped launch the 3 series. He oversaw the development of the Dodge Viper, Plymouth Prowler and Chrysler LH platform automobiles when he was the president at Chrysler. He had the initiative to build the sky/solitce at GM. He pushed for the ZR1 and CTS-Vs to be monsters. He might not have refined public speaking but the man can do his job well. Rumor has it that he walks around with a gap measuring device and randomly checks gaps on new cars in public. If they are out of spec he writes down the VIN and finds out when and where it was built and corrective measures follow. ---

Well I am just sticking up for a co-worker. Granted I wouldn’t stand up for Rcik Jr. All joking aside. Colbert is a tough interview and makes most people look stuiped. He is a car nut and a muscle car guy. The Volt is not really his thing but he is building what consumers demanded. I enjoyed the fact he said this car will help up pick up girls with hair on their legs. ---

After watching the interview he doesn’t seem as dumb as he done just older and more cautious about what he says. just more calculated all around. global warming is a fact and going to happen whether humans are on this planet or not. The only real question about it is are things we’re doing speeding it up and by how much. ---

Doesn’t say what kind of PhDs, or give any names obviously, but I always hear that crap when idiots say that global warming is fake. ---

I am educated in global warming theories and I think the relationship co2 levels have with global warming is very circumstantial. Hell, it could be as simple as the fact that the earth is warming causes the increase in CO2. The only proof I have seen is Al gore’s CO2 level chart. Maybe Man is causing it, but I dont think it is CO2.
