I think it is sad, the things that some folks feel justified in saying about others..I also think the Iowa Senator needs an ass kicking. However, I'm sure he'd be the first to point out that AIG is not Freddie Mac so he has no reason to feel like he is an idiot politician..:rolleyes:

Looks as though he said it'd make him feel better if they topped themselves, rather than suggest they do... people are too sensitive.

Why would anyone feel better/good if another human being comitted suicide?
