You wanna know who to watch in any Senate investigation of Toyota? Richard Shelby (R. Alabama). He's already on record as wanting US manufacturers to fail. He threatened to filibuster the auto bailout because he said that GM & Chrysler deserved to fail.

There are Toyota, Honda and Mercedes Benz plants in Alabama. Hmmm...

Also, Shelby is the guy who placed a blanket hold on over 70 Obama appointments. He didn't necessarily object to any of them. He was just holding them hostage so that he could get some pork for pet projects, like a multi-billion dollar contract for Airbus in Huntsville, AL. Airbus is a French company.

It's funny that Shelby wasn't even mentioned in that AP story. He's a legislator that you could accuse of working for Toyota.

But, you know, we have this Left Wing Media Machine and they would NEVER.... Oh, wait.....
