Good - I want to see some CEOs get some no-kidding jail time. Few things anger me more than some dillhole running a company into the dirt.
For crying out loud - in the late 80s the S&Ls all went toes-up for ... MAKING STUPID LOANS. Are our financial institutions’ execs so mind-boggling stupid that they have to make the same freaking mistakes?!
Beware. This is a red herring. The folks who are marketing this bailout fraud realize that the populace isn’t going to buy it as is. So they’re sugar-coating it with ill-defined investigations and promises of “punishment” for those responsible.
So the bill passes, the taxpayers get ripped off, and the investigations result in no action. Sort of like how they planned to sell us on amnesty.
Defeat the bailout bill now. There will be plenty of time for prosecutions later.
If Rep. Jefferson is still walking around free (and probably re-elected), what hope is trhere to EVER see these DemocRATS prosecuted? NOTHING will come of this sham investigation.
No bail-out.
Just take it over and sell it off to American bidders in small chunks — not onlike that “crazy” Kucinich’s plan.
Let us put the shares directly into our IRA’s.
I wonder how the media will cover for him this time?
This the same FBI that’s investigating Billy Bub Clinotn and half of his Cabinet appointees selling our country to Chinese military intelligence in the 1990’s?
How’s that investigation going these days? Have they finished going through Hazel O’Learys travel vouchers?
Barney Frank’s aide said we should slow down with proper oversight:
“An aide to Rep. Barney Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said negotiators had agreement on an oversight board and some form of help for homeowners facing foreclosure.”
thanks goodness Frank is chair of the HFSC. With his steady watchful hand, we shall see our way through this.
Nothing will come of this....it's for ass-covering and the appearance of "doing something to right this outrage".
Let’s see Jamie Gorelick and Beth Wilkinson (Mrs. David Gregory) doing the perp walk in their $800 Jimmy Choo pumps.
They have their fingerprints all over this mess, eh?
Hopefully those ceo’s will squeal like lipsticked pigs pointing their hooves to the ‘rats.
Funny how The Love for Three Oranges March keeps running through my mind!
I love that song!
Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, the haughty John Kerry who served in Viet Nam, and Obambi should be charged with high crimes, treason, etc....That would be a nice October surprise.

The four firms mentioned at the top of this thread (AIG, Lehman Brothers, Freddie Mac, Fannie May) are only 4 of TWENTY-SEVEN investment firms/banks that were involved in the Stock Market subprime mortgage debacle are currently under investigation for fraud by the FBI!
WOW!!! Yahoo!!!!
I hope the FBI is allowed to do their job, and that any corrupt powers that be will not be allowed to touch them with threats or bribes. May Justice be served!
Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines
The Libs and the MSM went crazy about Enron.
That loss was 1/100th of what happened just in this past week.
They should be investigating the House, the Senate, and the Clintons.
