I've never been a fan of Republican politics or Republican politicians for that matter. However. Iowa Senator Charles Grassley is an exception. AIG was baled out to the tune of $170 billion of taxpayers money, yet it paid out $165 million in bonuses. Senator Grassley - like countless others - does not like it. Not one bit. He stated, "I suggest, you know, obviously, maybe they ought to be removed," Grassley said, "But I would suggest the first thing that would make me feel a little bit better toward them if they'd follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, I'm sorry, and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide.
"And in the case of the Japanese, they usually commit suicide before they make any apology."
A spokesman later tried to backtrack on the comment, but I for one am glad that someone in public office had the balls to properly describe his disgust at the grasping greediness.
WELL DONE SENATOR GRASSLEY!
