sweet line from a yahoo user i found:

you should never take everything a man loves and desires away from him, for once you do, he would look with suffering and anguish at the collapsed roof of his ambition, and all he would see is the culprit, and all his love would be turned absolute hate and despise, and all that would left of his desire would be the vendetta that is vengeance, he would not only attempt what you would imagine impossible, but things you never even before imagined, he is now the sad hunter and you are his prey, he would not stop ever, no consequences will deter him, not even torture and death, in fact he would take the most pain full road to get to you, just so that you can wait in terror not knowing weather it is best to commit suicide now or not, all he desires now is to get his hands on you, and that is by far not the most terrifying part yet, on the contrary, he is just starting, the best way to describe it is, your only plea would be that he would end you life, and if you thought you would be his only victim, YOU ARE WRONG, he will make you watch all those whom are loved and affiliated by you suffering and dying, and your tears would only fuel his anger instead of quenching his thirst for revenge, and once he is done with you, he would only seek one of 3 paths, either become the hammer of justice and the tool of revenge on all those who resemble you in your actions, or he would look try to rest in peace from the pain he now knows as life, the final option for him is doing both at the same time.

It's good to see where your loyalties lie ;)

The point is that if they did this kind of stuff less, because they've been doing politics for a long time now, perhaps we wouldn't have had to pay nearly a million million million dollars bailing them out.

Loyalties? Where?

Equityholders still got fucked in the bailout. It seems plausible that the economy may taken a much larger hit without the bailout (independent of the number of banker dollars given to senators).

Shouldn't equity holders get "fucked" since they assumed a risky part of the capital structure? Even holders of senior notes may get ~40% of par in a liquidation.

No because the US government took full ownership and liability to the bad debts. The equity holders are no longer involved in the bad debt, the government bought them and gave the equity holders US bonds in exchange.
