Keith Olbermann Proposal: 'The Punish Vikram Pandit Act Of 2009' (Video)

This is the best rant I've seen from Olbermann on the bank bailouts. 

Keith lets loose. Pandit gets fileted. There is frothing and venom. Something about Citigroup CEO Pandit's $38 million salary when he told Congress he was working for a buck.

Countdown’s Keith Olbermann expresses outrage at Wall Street over their continuing misuse of federal bailout money. Olbermann calls for the firing of bank executives, more stringent banking regulation and the nationalization and break-up of Citigroup and Bank Of America.

With an entourage of 500 staff, an armour-plated limousine and a fleet of decoy helicopters, America's new president will arrive for his first visit to Britain amid huge razzmatazz on Tuesday for the G20 summit. But it will be his closed-door meetings with world leaders that are likely to prove the most significant of the trip

Great job Olbermann!!! Pandit is a major crook and he should be fired asap. This scumbag should not be allowed to run Shitty Bank and instead he should be spending time in jail. F*CK Pandit!

Spot on Keith but I'm afraid enough will only become reality when the people do take up those aforementioned pitchforks.

[Think4aChange]

That hits the spot. Bring more righteous anger - I just bought a pitchfork to bring an end to rapaciousness! Enough of the Panditry of ours and our children's future!

If you're shopping for quality, this one has a nice, long hardwood handle -- AND it's specially made for manure. Perfect for both bankers and their copious piles of bullshit.

James.

Well done.

[sissy]

Thanks for the regular doses of reality that have lead to high blood pressure and loud cussing! I can't figure out why there aren't massive protests over these bailouts. Even this simple Sociology major can figure out that Average American is getting screwed!! Thanks again for pointing this out dailybail!!

@sissy

"loud cussing!" Hilarious. Hang in there. We've all had those moments -- we will likely have more of them. But the sheer number of people on the web who are raising hell about the bailouts is encouraging. People with the least bit of financial knowledge, or indeed common sense, are starting to "get it." That's good. At some point, even the dimwits on the network news will start to figure it out. When that happens, we have to go all out to keep the pressure on. I don't know if we'll see a Howard Beale moment on-air, but we can hope.

@DailyBail

You've worked on TV news before, no? Any suggestions for how to get through to producers and/or reporters? Also, are you in contact with other like-minded folks like the guys at businessinsider.com (Blodget, Task, et al.)? BTW, there are tons of smart, like-minded people on Jim Puplava's financialsense.com. I know NOTHING about organizing, but someone with organizing skills would be a big help in moving things forward.

Good to see Olbermann on board.
