Late-night TV hosts continue to take pot-shots at the auto industry, especially at those seeking asylum in Chapter 11.
Friday night David Letterman took an easy swing at GM President and CEO Fritz Henderson ranking his job No. 2 on the Late Show's Top Ten Worst Summer Jobs list, behind Octomom babysitter and Susan Boyle's groomer.
If GM doesn't get it right this time, Fritz himself could wind up coiffing Boyle's frizzy locks.

So far I haven't been terribly impressed with Henderson. I thought being the Finance guy that he is, he'd understand GM's predicament better than this.

GM has been largely run by finance guys for decades. That has been part of their problem. Whenever the car guys can surface to where they have some influence, that is when the company's product line has been better. It is why Lutz's influence has made a difference.
However, when things are tough, and a company is hemorrhaging, it does take some serious cost analysis as well, so I'm not totally discounting the finance perspective. It just takes the right balance of perspectives.
