The bankers paid themselves $18 buh-buh-buh-billion dollars.

Last night on the News Hour we heard that a talking Harvard head say that if the taxpayers did not do that, that the people who got us in this mess would leave. Promises. Promise!

Galbraith was great and said, let them leave.

Obama chided the bankers for taking the $18 billion as bonuses for their ineptitude ... I mean, performance.

We don't have to look to the pirates off the African coast any longer to see the mentality in action.

I say taking $18 billion of tax payer money is tantamount to embezzlement.
