Senator Charges Grassley (R) of Iowa is a disgrace to Americans
Charles Grassley, Republican Senator from Iwoa, and a disgrace to Americans everywhere
How in the world can this man go on radio and say these things? Here’s the quick excerp from CNN:
“I would suggest the first thing that would make me feel a little better toward them [AIG executives] is if they follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, ‘I am sorry,’ and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide,” he said.
“And in the case of the Japanese, they usually commit suicide.”
You’re an elected representative of the people. I understand the people are outraged. I can understand especially the people of Iowa, many of whom have probably never seen a million dollars, with no major banks centered there, being obviously upset about this entire financial mess.
But get real. You are a grown man. You do not go on radio as a representative of the people and suggest that people committ suicide! Honestly, sadly, I hope someone does now. Just so this man can be reamed from sea to shining sea for making that remark. He is saying that money and pride are more important than a human life! Oh my god.
I could just rant on for hours about this guy. I just hope someone in Congress gets some sense and recommend him being removed from office.
Maybe I’m a little sensitive about the subject. Why? When I was 19, a friend of mine pointed out some jock he knew and told me that he was an asshole. I said jerks like that deserve to die. 2 weeks later he died in a car accident. Did my words kill him? No. But did he deserve to die? No.
