It’s funny that this hyper-pro-diversity company was headed by a guy whose initials are KKK.

In 4 years - I earned $54 Million - managed the largest bank failure in history, avoided jail, avoided punishment and will be allowed to keep and enjoy my unearned compensation...

So - who are the dumbasses?
Any taxpayer who allows Congress to bail out the incompetently managed banks or businesses.

But, me? Hell I'm happy... See my smile?

In the 1992-94 time frame Attorney General and part time human barbecue queen Janet the beast Reno threatened to put the full weight of the Justice Department into prosecution mode if lending institutions in the United States didn’t provide loans to members of minority racial groups who couldn’t pay them back.

Now the media and even politicians on both sides of the isle focus on the CEOs of lending institutions and their so called greed and malfeasance.

For Christ’s sake folks, this is patently absurd.

The responsibility lies squarely on the backs of the Democrats in Congress, and everyone from the MSM, the Republicans to Bill O’Reilly are passing it off as a non-partisan equal blame “shame on the lending institutions” problem.

I can’t remember when I’ve been so disgusted with the pukes in D.C.

So Killinger makes about half what Obama’s campaign manager made during the same time period from Fannie Mae, and Killinger is the bad guy?

Sounds like a story the MSM presstitutes will buy and peddle.

Author Tom Wolfe wrote about the amoral wacked out liberal elitist college brats that become “investment bankers” like this Killinger creep in his superb novel “I Am Charlotte Simmons”

In the the 80’s I did a lot of business with WaMu. I got to know Kerry Kellinger fairly well from a business standpoint. He was a very unassuming guy and appeared to be on the shy side. Not your typical CEO. He had to do something right because they grew rapidly over the 18 years as its president. I considered the company very provincial and proud of their Seattle roots. Considering all the events of the last few years I do not know if anything could of saved them.
