The Executive Land of Oz

Why do people begrudge the AIG executives a much needed rest at an overpriced spa on the beach in California? These people nearly lost their jobs and would have been out on the street with mere millions of dollars in their pockets. Running a monolithic financial institution into the ground is hard work. It causes stress and dry skin in the executives who are not just responsible for directing their own collapse, they were in charge of the collapse of a global economy. We have seen pictures in recent years of people bailing out flood waters from their homes in the gulf. I can only imagine the strain it puts on Wall Street CEO's to watch millions of taxpayers bail out their Wall Street offices. Who wouldn't need a $1,000 massage after trauma like that? I hid a microphone in one of the spa rooms. I know it is illegal, but I'm a Bill O'Reilly type of guy who believes that your right to know supersedes your right to exist. Here's what I picked up:
SINGING:
Hot hot hot, ho ho hos
And a couple of trollop dolls
That’s how we throw your cash away
In Saint Regis Resort and Spas
Booze booze booze
Pate fois gras
And a bucket of Haagen Daz
That’s how we spend our bailout pay
In Saint Regis Resort and Spas
We failed AIG
And we still got paid a ton
Congress bailed us out
So our pillaging is not done
Gosh, this is fun
Ten billion here, ten billion there
Soon you’re talking a lotta moolah
But half a mill isn’t much to spill
In Saint Regis Resort and Spas
(BOOM)
MAN: It's Henry Waxman flying by on a broom with a sign!
WOMAN: What does it say? What does it say?
MAN: "Surrender your golden parachutes."

Then everyone ran away so I didn't get any more.
