bailout 2008-part 2-the pissed off version

some people are just plain stupid. today i was talking about the bailout meetings with my dad. i didnt realize that all 3 ceos of the car companies took each of their corporate jets to DC for the meetings. seriously? if these people are soooo bright that they "deserve" these ridiculous salaries, dontcha think theyd be smart enough to think this strategy out better?

if i were planning on going to cry and plead to the government and try to explain why i need 28 million dollars, i dont think id do it my private jet. id want to look more desperate. like...isnt flying commercial sufficient for this? its what?...a couple of hours flight???? maybe they could suffer in first class for this particular endeavor? i dunno...maybe LOOK more the part of the desperate ceo trying to get his business back in control. my dad even said something funnier. he said, "at the very least, couldnt they 'jetpool' to DC?" i thought that was very funny. anyway...its insane. and i know the money spent on these private jets doesnt make a dent in the debt we owe, and its pretty insignificant. but really... hello? principles? brains? logic? strategy? what the hell are these morons thinking? ugh. it makes me so angry. just out of principle...they should have known better. im not even sure why i think a bunch of idiots have the brains to actually know better.

then i heard that they each had to take their own jet, because their insurance wouldnt cover a flight with all 3 ceos on board. puuhleeeze! i remember hearing that prince charles, prince william and prince harry couldnt fly on the same plane. and i would understand if the president and vice president couldnt either. but the 3 car ceos? gimme a break! why? because if something happened to them, then the car industry would be in danger? uh...yeah.

so....not only are they crooks...but theyre stupid crooks. i honestly dont know how they sleep at night, knowing that their co-workers, employees, shareholders, and basically the entire state of michigan is suffering. oh wait! of course i know how they sleep at night!!!!! while they were standing before the government "crying poor", their wives were probably out shopping for new frette or porthault sheets for the bed. how can you not sleep well on $2,000 600 thread count egyptian cotton?
