Just out of curiousity, how did the bank executives travel to Washington?

Since they are asking for 28 times as much money as the auto industry (and as a handout, not a loan), I'm curious why the media wasn't all over this. I assume many of them came in private planes as well.

I'm not defending the auto executives going in private planes. I think it was stupid, and shows a real disconnect. However, let's hear about the banking executives. How did they get to their hearings?

I did not hear a media firestorm on how the banking executives travelled to Washington. Did you?

I'm just joking. Yes, there was an outcry and apparently getting rid of a couple jets is the result.

8. In sledges drawn by yoked serfs. To reduce friction on the roadways

the route was covered with shredded subprime mortgages and credit default swaps.

9. Of course! What was I thinking?

I'm really surprised CNN didn't pick up on THAT.
