From the Herald of Beantown:
Romney’s five sons appeared with their dad onstage in February when he announced his presidential bid in Dearborn, Mich., at the Henry Ford Museum, father of the American auto assembly line. But all of Romney’s boys are foreign car owners, and most have never owned an American vehicle, records show.
(One little question, as the writing above isn't too clear: Is "Dearborn, Mich.," or "the Henry Ford Museum" the "father of the American auto assembly line?") Other than that quibble, it's an interesting but not terribly significant story. Big surprise: Republicans w/ money drive foreign "status" cars. Most Democrats w/ money as well, we're sure. But as we so often find w/ the Rs, there might be just a touch of hypocrisy involved:
The parking lot at Romney’s Commercial Street campaign headquarters could be mistaken for a high-end foreign car dealership as staffers drive Lexus SUVs, Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, Audis and Saabs, many adorned with Mitt Romney campaign stickers.
[...]
But Romney has touted American-made cars, including during his presidential kickoff speech at the Ford Museum. At the event, he stood in front of a Ford hybrid SUV and a white Nash Rambler as a soundtrack of all-American music played at the event.
Just Another Blog™ has to wonder if Frederick of Hollywood Thompson will be driving his formerly leased (apparently he bought it after the lease ran out, so as not to look like the show biz phony he is) red pick-up when he finally makes his big announcement next week.
Editor's Note: Try as we might, we couldn't work any Mormon bashing into this, although we can point out that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which Henry Ford had printed & distributed, are as bogus as The Book of Mormon, and anythng else ever to escape the lips of Joseph Smith. Happy now?

I'm sure Henry Ford is spinning in his grave, but Dearborn is now home to a large Muslim Arab community.

You never know. Henry might see "Dearbornistan" as a needed offset to The Jooos. Let alone as a relatively cheap source of immigrant labor, though we suppose the UAW keeps wages, etc. @ a reasonable level.
