Earlier this month, after the AIG bonuses controversy broke, Charles Krauthammer advocated unusual capital punishment for AIG executives, suggesting “an exemplary hanging or two” in Times Square and even a guillotine “party.” But today, after President Obama compelled GM CEO Rick Wagoner to resign, Krauthammer regained his sense of civility, criticizing the administration for “demanding” Wagoner’s “head on a pike”:

KRAUTHAMMER: What this is is the President giving in to populist pressure, demanding a head on a pike, which is the titular head of the company, whether or not it makes any economic sense at all. And that makes you worry.

Like many other Fox pundits who have been railing against unions today, Krauthammer added that organized labor has “utterly destroyed the auto companies.”

2. Just another fool who can say anything without having to be held accountable. He has no power.

None of the bogus Republican proposals have a chance in hell of even being seriously scrutinized much less enacted, so they can bellow out any fool thing that pops in their heads, knowing that none of it will ever be tested.

3. Senator Grassley said they should resign or commit suicide

I thought that was worse coming from a sitting US Senator.
