“It’s almost like seeing a guy show up at the soup kitchen in a high hat and tuxedo,Couldn’t you have downgraded to first class or something, or jet-pooled or something to get here?”

Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) to the Big Three CEO’s during the auto industry bailout hearing. The issue: all three CEO’s had traveled to the hearings in their individual corporate jets, at a cost of at least $20,000.00 per CEO, to ask the federal covernment for a $25 billion bailout.

Personally, I’d liken it to showing up at the welfare office in a chauffeur-driven stretch Escalade.
