Candidate for the list?

ABC News’ Political Punch weblog:

In an interview with Cedar Rapids, Iowa, radio station WMT-AM today, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said executives of AIG should consider following what he described of the Japanese model of shamed corporate executives: apology or suicide.
...
“...the first thing that would make me feel a little bit better towards them [is] if they would follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say I’m sorry and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide.”

Grassley added, “In the case of the Japanese, they usually commit suicide before they make any apology.”

Recall the ancient Chinese procedure of committing suicide on the doorstep of one’s enemy, so that his future would be plagued by your ghost.  Maybe we can convince someone to do that to Congress.

Even better, why not leave the over-the-top-rhetoric to the Democrats?
