Have you every seen the way corporate CEOs get their asses kissed?

Krugman have a great column in the NYT today on just that subject---

Clearly, Mr. Romney believed that he could run for president while remaining safe inside the plutocratic bubble and is both shocked and angry at the discovery that the rules that apply to others also apply to people like him. Fitzgerald again, about the very rich: “They think, deep down, that they are better than we are.”
