WACKOS IN CORPORATE BOARDROOMS--

National news sources revealed Thursday the CEOs of the Big Three automakers flew private, luxury jets to Washington to plead for a $25 billion taxpayer bailout to save their debt-ridden industry.

Fox News reported, “Recipients of eight-figure bonuses in 2007, the corporate cowboys used their executive perks—which for GM’s Rick Wagoner include the run of a $36 million Gulfstream IV jet—to arrive in style as they went begging before congress.”

Wagoner’s flight reportedly cost $20,000 round trip—about 70 times more than a commercial airline ticket.

This on the heals of news about the pompous leadership in previously bailed-out money institutions attending lavish entertainment venues after securing their industry hand-outs from the public trough.

With leadership like that demonstrated by these lackeys of the corporate boardrooms, and their pompous cronies in Congress, it is no wonder our economy is in a shambles.
