Tomorrow the scum of the earth of the REIC will go in front of Congress and testify about their obscene pay packages and insider trading


Jail time awaits.

But in the meantime, enjoy the show. Who do you think will take the fifth first?

A) Angelo Mozilo of Countrywide Toxic Mortgage

B) Charlie Prince of Citigroup

C) Stanley O'Neal of Merrill Lynch

Mortgage Millionaires to Answer to Congress - Three CEOs Behind the Subprime Market Face Inquiry About Their Pay Packages

Three CEOs who made millions of dollars off the housing market -- even as homeowners and their companies started to suffer -- are expected to testify before Congress Friday about why they deserved such large compensation packages.

Countrywide Financial Corp. chairman and chief executive officer Angelo Mozilo, former Merrill Lynch CEO E. Stanley O'Neal and Charles Prince, former chairman and CEO of Citigroup, have all been asked to tell Congress whether they believe their pay was justified.

This kind of "inquisition" is for nothing more than to pacify the public, as though something is really gonna be done.

Nothing is gonna be done.

LMAO!! We should give Tangelo a call, about 4 a. m. local time, and tell him to get his lazy ass out of bed, because we want to apply for a liar loan!

I hope they lay down some plastic on the seating or Tangelo Mozilla will leave a nasty orange stain on that pretty furniture in Congress.

One of them will escape. Hint: an orange man in an orange jump suit against an orange prison wall is invisible.

Gosh, it would be a shame if he was treated like his collection agents treat families in financial hardship. After calling, they demand money. When he objects, they scream obscenities at him, tell him they're going to ruin his credit, and hang up the phone. They call back about half an hour later threatening more lawsuits.

They also call ceaselessly at work and call friends, neighbors and relatives. Even after certified letters under the FDCA are sent to them, telling them to stop calling, they continue their illegal telephone harassment.

It happened to a colleague of mine, who is trying to pick up his financial pieces after a financially destructive divorce proceeding.

Mozillo and his colleagues are SCUM.

Ever seen the original movie version of "Day of the Jackal"? I'm thinking of that scene where French Intelligence is questioning the captured bank robber... The bigwigs in suits ask the questions and when they don't like the answer a little nod the invisible man with the switch to the genital electrodes and voila, a refreshed memory. Forget the fifth, that's the kind of pleading I'm looking for.

Remember the old Demon Dialers from back in the day? Boy would it be fun to set one of those to call him about every 10 minutes, and then stagger to every 30 or 60 min. Just when he thinks the calls have stopped, then they come again. Weee. I am sure after half the net finishes calling him tonight, tomorrow and over the weekend, that number will be disconnected. It also will probably make the news somewhere as well....

This just keeps getting more interesting....

As far as tomorrow, well, that will be fodder for the TV junkies, but a lot of hands will go up just like Skilling and Lay, but nothing will come of it. Yet. Wait until things get worse, and there is a flunky to be had. Kenn Starr might even be resurrected for this one....

Is that actually what these FB's are dealing with? :{

You've heard the expression "two drunks holding each other up."

Ambac, the bond insurer, couldn't even find another drunk to go along with a bailout plan. So instead, the company decided to sell stock - and not very much stock at that.

Well, get me in on that deal! Google-like profits on the way?

Seriously, the whole stock market has rallied every time this alleged bailout has been mentioned on a cable station that'll go unnamed, even though Ambac's problems are just a teeny-weenie fraction of the current credit problem faced by our country.

So I'm wondering how the credit rating agencies that recently affirmed Ambac's AAA-rating feel now that the bailout hasn't taken hold.

Probably feeling as sick as CNBC - oh, I've named it - which carried an awful lot of incorrect stories about the Ambac deal.

This is all very dangerous stuff.

But since this is what comprises our "ruling class"...don't expect anything except..."oops, we're sorry".

And the response..."ahem, well yes, let that be a lesson to you, you may go now".
