Lutz Fills in for Ousted Henderson; Dodges Questions on the Subject
December 02, 2009
General Motors' just-ousted CEO Fritz Henderson had been slated to speak at the Motor Press Guild's breakfast Wednesday to kick off the Los Angeles auto show's press days. But a day earlier, Henderson got the boot. GM's marketing chief Bob Lutz was called upon to fill in.
He dodged all Henderson-related questions, which reporters didn't hesitate to ask. USA Today's Jim Healy asked: "Isn't it a bad time to lose your CEO?" The normally loquacious Lutz responded, "Next question." The room erupted in laughter.

What ridiculous timing. Apparently the directors forgot to look at the calendar to see when the LA Auto Show was. Says much about the incompetence of the board.
