If only...

Scott Ott (Scrappleface) posted this Sunday, but it has a continuing relevance as lawmakers are still trying to work out a economic package this week:

Sen. John McCain said reluctant Republicans would sign on to a $700 billion federal bailout of “Big Finance”, as soon as Democrats agree “to require criminally-negligent Wall Street CEOs and their enablers in Congress to perform a videotaped and broadcast perp walk, of not less than 10 yards per million dollars squandered.”

The 11th-hour negotiations were said to focus on whether Sen. McCain would concede to Democrat demands for “handcuffs and business suits”, or if he would stubbornly stick with his original proposal to require full shackles and fluorescent orange jumpsuits as the perpetrators walk to court to face federal fraud and racketeering charges.

It's a nice fantasy, anyway.
