hypocritical, two-faced, double-talking, back-stabbing, frauds.
I was pointing out that corporate America, the Pubbie handlers, have been taking all the two-faced, double-talking, back-stabbing, fraudulant honors of late.

Well, in case you hadn't noticed, all of the corporations you mentioned have been called on the carpet and had officers arrested and charged with crimes.

Or, wait a minute.....was it big-time DemocRAT fund-raiser Hillary Clinton that did that?
Hmmmmmm.
