"Private jets and tin cups"

"There’s a delicious irony of seeing private luxury jets flying into DC, and people coming off of them with tin cups in their hands, saying that they’re going to be trimming down and streamlining their businesses. It’s almost like seeing a guy show up at the soup kitchen in high hat and tuxedo. Kind of makes you a little bit suspicious as to whether or not…we’ve seen the future. There’s a message there. Couldn’t you all have downgraded to first class or jet-pooled to get here? It would have at least sent the message that you do get it." Congressman Gary Ackerman (D-NY)

It makes me want to puke thinking these auto industry guys should get a bailout. Just thought I'd add this little quote...makes me smile every time I read it...even if a democrat said it. :-)
