In a comment aired this afternoon on WMT, an Iowa radio station, Grassley (R-Iowa) said: “The first thing that would make me feel a little bit better towards them if they’d follow the Japanese model and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say I’m sorry, and then either do one of two things — resign, or go commit suicide.”

Chuck is a bit of a common sense Republican (not many of those I know of) and a guy I didn't mind all that much when I lived in Iowa. I often didn't agree with him but I knew where he was coming from and why. I think he hit the nail on the head with this one.
