Now this is the Senator I remember, Claire McCaskill Speaks Truth!
CNN:
We have a bunch of idiots on Wall Street that are kicking sand in the face of the American taxpayer. They don't get it. These people are idiots. You can't use taxpayer money to pay out $18 billion in bonuses.
Senator McCaskill has introduced a bill to address this absurdity of executive pay.
If they are receiving public funds the bill limits their pay to the salary of the President of the United States.
Now that puts executive compensation into perspective! The President of the United States is the hardest job in the world so demanding more money than the President is quite a grandiose request!
Claire McCaskill:
They owe us some common sense
Oh yeah, you go girl!
Claire McCaskill
It's about time someone called it like it is! Thank you Senator McCaskill.
If 'these people...' are such...
...'idiots...' Senator how come they are still calling the shots, eh?
And what does that make you and your colleagues?
Fine speech is great Senator but the time is right now for some effective action. So far...
...I don't see any.
'When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.'
she's a liar
Senator McCaskill is a hypocrite and a liar. She ended up voting for the bailout bill:

True, a bunch lied
They pounded and even ran campaigns against the massive bail outs....once elected they just went ahead and voted for it.
another one is Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Senate. He ran literally against the bail outs and won in a fairly narrow victory....on a host of Populist issues...
What has he done? Vote right down that corporate DLC party line....
