serial- If Ceos are guilty of fraud they should go to jail. But CEOs are under contract with the Board of Directors of the company they work for. If the Board wants to pay them a zillion dollars it is up to them. Only the stockholders can protest. It is up to the Boards to reign them in, or Congress can put some limits on bonuses only if any of the bailout money is used by the company. Otherwise, CEOs earn the money in their contracts. And it is usually based on profits of the company. Making money is not illegal.

''I want CEO''''s to go to jail also. Why does my tax money go for CEO bonuses? I heard of that on Fox News today. Give the crooks more money so we can bail them out again, and again. Nothing but a bunch of Panhandlers on Wall Street.''

CEOs don''t get elected. They get hired. And they get hired by boards of directors who write them up contracts. You want them to reneg on their contract.. Just say it. Ya want them to break their word.

Lets see, if Sarah Palin doesn''t get the VP position she can appoint herself or Todd to the US Senate... now that is still scary.

Ironically, most Republicans don''t have anything against voting for a convicted felon. Only an inconvenience because Stevens won''t be making speeches as often trying to get money to build bridges to icebergs or sucking up to oil barons padding his matress.
