JUST PLANE DESPICABLE

Beleaguered Citigroup is upgrading its mile-high club with a brand-new $50 million corporate jet – only this time, it’s the taxpayers who are getting screwed.

Even though the bank’s stock is as cheap as a gallon of gas and it’s burning through a $45 billion taxpayer-funded rescue, the airhead execs pushed through the purchase of a new Dassault Falcon 7X, according to a source familiar with the deal.

I can’t even begin to express just how much this kind of crap chaps my hide.

    $50M? Chump change. They’re still giving $400M to the Mets for naming rights…

    But it wasn’t even an AMERICAN made jet. Dang! That makes it even MORE tacky. :?

    That ‘naming rights’ stuff just bugs the bejabbers outta me. sigh…

    How do i apply for a bailout? Does anyone really know the full process? All I need is about 50K, and I will handle that well enough to never need another nothin’.

    The process? Well, from what I can figure out, you have to be really bad at math, and run a HUGE business into the ground. Odds are, you won’t qualify…ya got too much smarts. :)
