Common Sense: 10/28

" And they're Republican collaborators are the enemy of them. Die quickly people come on the air didn't solve them -- they didn't need. Getting cut off their -- Even me being shouted them and -- the Missouri -- many Republicans once you did die quickly leaving her. As -- gave me this what is this K street or Fox News and national enquirer basically interchangeable."

" And all right I've had enough I keep hearing this I would ignore it otherwise but I've had enough I think I know why Alan Grayson hates fox -- It is not about Fox News is about me. Back to -- really. These wacky tirades -- nothing to do with whether we're not there. But weather and -- interview in particular the good congressman was remotely and -- with me. I want you to take all of this is -- Alan Grayson hates -- he hates me he remembers me. And he remembers my badgering him a few months ago on this policing CEO pay issue. How far does it go and what pay grade does it start."

" Talks about unreasonable compensation don't know he's just Saturday -- don't -- defining unreasonable. Seriously and hill are any secretaries get a million dollar bonuses if -- so they stand then stated what is unreasonable -- you tell me now what is on reasonable. If you get ten million dollar bonus for destroying your company and putting the whole US economy at risk bets on real -- that -- you -- I -- but you -- that if you are getting that money and you bought the company on -- I'd -- sign onto this -- that's what this -- what did you mention the ten -- thing in this bill. What do you mean by by number yeah. No because that would say -- 9999909. Dollar did you give any rain that we are not big fans they don't -- range in this. Now the secretary -- is gonna establish the ranges."

" But she assumes is going congress I know your intentions are good but what's she doing here is putting congress in the role of determining. What is OK what is not okay what compensation. Is excessive and what compensation isn't. Who's to send it just ten million figure -- need real age. -- that's just wrong we can punish bad people without punishing good people that's what the law does every single day -- was. Let -- what this law includes congressmen. No I think I do know you did you didn't give me a level and a number that's all honesty. Well that's for the secretary of treasury to do we have. Yeah giving in power you know I don't know I don't -- to our senior giving him carte Blanche -- you're not even defining what those ranges for those powers are. I think no I -- add categories -- our right to know what we're writing all spot. We set the general rules the executive France executes on them that's how the constitution works -- in the general rules you're leaving it up to the treasury. To decide what are adequate compensation levels for every one at that federally rescued company. While you're not rules -- like that you know that we in the constitution we have due process and equal protection. That's all the constitution says what's to stop you from just Willy -- going after any company demo please. That's ridiculous no -- is contemplating that -- address my question to Tim Geithner. You think he's gonna say secretary -- make -- don't know more than 5000 dollars a year I don't know police car you know what I did either of -- really -- and I will ask you because you don't answer a simple question. We -- feeding you."

" oversight to make sure these abuses don't happen your answer to those abuses this. I'm gonna police excessive pay when I ask you what it -- it is. And how you would define it you didn't even give me a range. I -- aren't the only -- that -- you don't want insulting Americans who have better stocked. In thinking that their leaders to do a better job you're humiliating that not to crooks you say are running the company's. That's absurd we're passing a law that stops a bad thing from happening you're angry at any -- our best that would never happen. Aren't I just told you what what happened today I'm playing well the president -- Helio Ainge if the treasury gives me a range. God bless them because I'd ask you every which way -- now to give me -- either you couldn't or wouldn't. Was felt that you shouldn't. We pay you congressman. Act like it. Bill."

" I'm not the one using profanity on the -- I'm not the one interrupting me guess who is showing incredible rudeness on the -- now that we know what I grant your request you -- wanna. I admit I'm a relatively that's what I'd like to what -- to -- when they don't."

" Only answer question all taxpayers have a right to now that. Is when I'm route. Well you're being very -- So did little more --"

" All right I said damn I guess that's -- I'm sorry but I never cut off his. Went to commercial he was done I was but apparently I did create -- not. -- rudely interrupting I'm not and demanding repeatedly a simple answer to a not so not a simple question. How far is too far for -- government dictating people's pay it is a very important question my friends the congressman wouldn't say. And that. Drove me nuts it almost affected my appetite that night. Fortunately I got over. Had I only know I was dealing with a -- and -- too much preferred softball interviews apparently or barring that. No interviews -- all. -- My friend Bill O'Reilly has is no -- From here on out I have something else. -- no. Not so. That's the real story behind -- grace. He won't tell you. I just -- That's what's."
