Finally a politician with some balls to articulate the mood of the bailout fatigued taxpayer. Charles Grassley a Republican Senator from Iowa commenting on the latest AIG bonus revelation declared that the executives should employ the Japanese formula; bow, apologize then commit suicide.
Harsh language perhaps,but a growing thirst for action from the public shares these sentiments. Since then he has retracted the suicide part. The fact that the taxpayer owns eighty percent of AIG and is basically furnishing certain employees with payouts leaves one with the desire to take up arms, in this case a Samurai sword.

It is also unnerving to know that in the final Bush days; then Treasury Secretary hooligan Hank Paulson negotiated the bailout of AIG so that his old company Goldman Sachs could receive a $12.6 billion owed, while his old competitors Lehman Bros and Merrill Lynch perished or got swallowed. I have to say that I love the argument put forward by corporate leaders that “If we don’t pay compensation then you run the risk of losing your best people. Well if every bank is insolvent or receiving bailout money where the hell would these clever buggers find a job?
It must be said that Scum Airways since its inception has been awfully busy, after picking members of AIG, it plotted a course for the grandfather of the GOP, Dick Cheney the Josef Fritzl of Neo Cons. This putrid sack of vermin has the gall to deny any culpability for the economic woes now underway and further states that the nation is at more risk from an attack than ever before. Exercising as usual the fear mantra that worked so well under his watch, he brilliantly neglects the fact that in large part the financial deregulation under the Bush administration has put more fear into the hearts and minds of the American people than a bunch of orange jump suited radicals. Serve your country Dick, fall on your sword it’s the only way for America’s Most Wanted.
As the Empire State building comes into view, Scum Airways finds its way uptown at the charming residence of the Madoff’s. There inside Ruthless Ruth fusses over the silverware and ponders over how to spend Bernie’s money, completely delusional how one man alone can produce account statements for all the thousands of investors…Hmm perhaps a turn around and head for the SEC downtown and pick up the criminals who knew along what Madoff was up too, but the gravy tasted way too good to intervene.
Then let’s fly over the CNBC studios and tune in to that clown Jim Cramer who constant cheerleading for various companies left investor’s thinking they were on ‘The Price Is Right’

And while there’s gas in the tank, why not fly down to West Palm Beach and land on some ghastly golf course and pick up the GOP’s real leader Rush Limbaugh. Now this carbuncle on the face reason likes to make you think that he’s the voice of the Party, but in fact this cigar chomping, buffoon gangster couldn’t care less about anything other than ratings for his talk show. The real crime here is that millions tune in and believe him.
But it is ok folks we have enough Samurai swords on board.
