WHERE ARE THE CLOWNS?

Cal Thomas on the congressional frenzy to “recover” the $165 million in retention bonuses paid out by AIG:

When politicians get on their high horses about something, it is almost certain that a considerable amount of horse manure will get spread around. ... For politicians to complain about misspent tax dollars is like one of those tabloid honeys lamenting the decline in family values. ... This is all populism, of course, since the amount of money Congress wastes every minute makes whatever earned or unearned money paid to AIG employees pale by comparison.

Well, we know where the clowns are – elected to Congress.
