[Republican] Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley suggested that AIG executives should accept responsibility for the collapse of the insurance giant by resigning or killing themselves.
Well, that’s a little harsh. But what he actually said was really ugly.
"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."
Of course, he’s wrong about that. When was the last time you heard of a Japanese business executive committing hara kiri? But, he's trying to make a point. However, some of the things the bloodthirsty Senator Grassley has done to the American people might be looked on as less than honorable. I haven’t heard of any apologies from him.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
