Over at Liberal and Loving It is an excellent example of the liberal thought process. Commenting on an article over at RedState analyzing the Fannie/Freddie bailout they latch on to this “death to CEO’s comment”..
Today’s report makes no mention of the fact that both Fannie and Freddie have engaged in some shenanigans recently to make their capital positions look less bad. Their CEOs are being fired summarily for this.
If we were in China, they’d probably have “committed suicide” with bullets inexplicably entering the backs of their heads. I’d certainly want to shoot them if I were a shareholder of either GSE. There are some things the Chinese do better than we do.
Liberal and loving it concludes…
That’s right, they’re wishing that CEOs that screw up would be summarily shot. Now kudos to them that they want CEOs to pay a price for incompetence. But this is a bit over the top.

But shooting the CEOs? Wow, I guess it’s ok to screw regular people but when you screw the stockholders, then they’re ready to exact serious punishment.
Good grief Charlie Brown, guess you were born without the sense of humor gene?
