Republican Senator Says AIG Traders Should Die

Republican Senator Charles Grassley was talking about AIG’s $165 million in bonuses after having received a $173 billion bailout from American taxpayers. He said, “The first thing that would make me feel a little bit better towards 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.”

Senator, you Republicans are the ones who supported all this de-regulation lunacy. The Republicans have taken enormous campaign contributions from these derivative traders. I would say that you are just talking out your ass to compensate.

Death or committing suicide is probably just a little bit overblown. How about these crooks just forfeit all of their assets and go to jail for a long, long time?
