Senator Charles Grassley, the Republican lawmaker's harsh comments came during an interview with Cedar Rapids, Iowa, radio station WMT on Monday. They echo remarks he has made in the past about corporate executives and public apologies, but went further in suggesting suicide.

How many RepubliCON$ "fell on their $word$" to protect Bu$h?

I agree that these executives should be taken to task, but suicide? Maybe he just let his mouth over load his brain.

I don't know which is worse, that a chief spokesman for the "Party of new ideas" should come up with this, or that he had to have a spokesman clarify his remarks instead of doing so personally. Eight years of lies and denial by Republicans, over 4000 lives lost in Iraq avenging a suicide attempt on the life of Pres. George Herbert Walker Bush in the early '90's, taking a budget surplus under Clinton and making it a huge deficit by lying about the terrorists and the need and forms of national security, and the Republicans simply can't change their ways!

Greed and arrogance are not capital crimes, but fraud is punishable with jail time. The Attorney General should investigate AIG to determine whether its executives have committed any crimes.

Grassley is a jerk and he's "on the take" with respect to health care reform ... tell everyone you can:

since 2005, Grassley’s various political action committees have collected nearly $1.3 million in donations from the industries related to the health insurance debate, according to OpenSecrets.org. Grassley’s top four donor groups were Health ($411,956); Insurance ($307,348); Pharmaceuticals ($233,850); and Hospitals ($197,137). Eighth on Grassley’s donor list were HMOs at $130,684.
