Piñatas in Pinstripes
Congress wasn't alone in beating up on Wall Street bigwigs yesterday. From Jay Leno on the Tonight Show last night:
"Richard Fuld, the former C.E.O. of Lehman Brothers, grilled by Congress today. And they ... made him explain why he took $480 million in compensation when he knew some shareholders would lose their life savings. Yeah. Turns out, he had a good reason. Apparently, he is a greedy bastard."
Ouch!
