Quote of the Day

"Let's get this straight: These guys are going to Vegas to roll the dice on the taxpayer dime? They're tone deaf. It's outrageous."

-- U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, when told by The Associated Press that "Wells Fargo & Co., which received $25 billion in taxpayer bailout money, is planning a series of corporate junkets to Las Vegas casinos this month."

(Update: Wells Fargo has "abruptly canceled" the trip after initially defending them, AP reports.)
