CONGRESS LECTURING ON FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY?
NOW THAT'S RICH! SHAMELESS CONGRESS/AUTO CEOs
By Neil Cavuto, [EMAIL PROTECTED] December 05, 2008
You know what's particularly insulting to me about these auto bailout
hearings? Not the demeaning spectacle of the Big Three CEOs reduced to
political punching bags, but the ones punching them.
Look, as any semi-regular viewer of this show knows, I'm no fan of
bailouts -- this one, any one. But I'm even less of a fan of
holier-than-thou congressmen judging any industry on financial
accountability.
It would be like me preaching to a panel of personal trainers that
they should exercise more. You wouldn't see it. And you wouldn't
buy it.
So why are we buying this?
Congressmen who spend trillions with no accountability demanding the
same of company chiefs who now have no shame? That's not just a shame,
my friends. That is a sham.
It is a sham when a congressman who's built a career on bringing pork
to his district lectures a CEO on wanting to bring pork to his company.
The CEO shouldn't even be asking. But I'll tell you what: That
congressman sure as hell shouldn't be judging. Not when we've racked up
billions for programs our fiscal stewards can't track and deficit upon
deficit that children of Republicans and Democrats can never, ever hope
to repay.
Don't you find it incredible that some politicians who couldn't tell
the difference between a spreadsheet and a bed sheet are the ones
offering financial pointers?
Well, the sheet has hit the fan, my friends. And we're the ones
getting stuck with the bill for this spectacle.
The spectacle of politicians who spend our money like it's going out
of style that dare to judge an industry that will likely spend that money
right out of existence. Politicians who talk of austerity, but never
live it. And yap all the time about financial accountability, but never
show it.
Which is why I'm so fed up with it and them.
Not the poor panderers who grovel before them. But the pathetic
hypocrites who have the nerve, the nerve, to lecture them.

With ACORN, La Raza, and Ohio Dem officials sitting on 20,000 suspect voter
registrations and other Dept heads releasing Joe the Plumber's confidential
information, this has been an incredibly, uncreditable election.
Hope you didn't waste your time and gas to stand in line at one of their
polling places hoping the electoral system isn't a fraud.
