You know something strange is going on when Ralph Nader calls me to complain that General Motors shareholders are being treated unfairly by the federal government.

"I never thought that in a thousand lifetimes I'd be saying this," said Nader, who has been a household name since 1966, when GM President Jim Roche was forced to apologize at a Senate hearing for siccing private detectives on him. But rather than discrediting Nader, author of the 1965 classic Unsafe at Any Speed, GM discredited itself, allowing Nader to use its discomfiture and the proceeds of an invasion of privacy lawsuit to found the consumer movement.

That's why hearing Nader defend GM shareholders is a reversal of the natural order, as if the sun suddenly rose in the West, the New York Yankees stopped hiring stars or Wall Street decided to give suckers an even break.
