Grandstanding..........

CNBC is covering the Congressional hearings of the H-P debacle this afternoon. Watching and listening to these Congress men and women grill the H-P honcho's is rather disgusting. These are the same men and women who sponsor and siphon hundreds of millions of dollars of pork barrel projects every year out of taxpayer coffers. Listening to their discussion of morality and ethics with a Board that was doing its best to rid itself of a cancer is oxymoronic. Surely our Congress has far bigger problems to contend with without TV coverage.

Maybe the investigation should be on Congress and the lobbyists who "feed" it by corporate chieftains who have to pay corporate tax with shareholder assets.
