Charles Grassley easily provided the quote of the day when discussing AIG executives:
“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.”
As a public official, hasn’t Charles Grassley ever screwed the pooch or did something deceptive or unethical? If so, maybe he should take his own advice. I know that initially such a recommendation seems shocking, but having been a candidate for public office myself, I’ve met plenty of people who had no business being in public office. They had over-the-top egos, typically belittled honest hard-working citizens in private, and always sought to pad their pockets before providing for the public good. So, my question to Charles Grassley: As you seem to think you have a right to says who lives or die, do you think that you can do the “honorable thing?” Of course not, I mean, you’re no Budd Dwyer…
