When I think of overpaid CEOs I think of the guys who run a company not just into the ground but 6 feet under the ground and then get 10s of millions of dollars walking out the door.  Like the Tyco guy.  Near as I can tell they take over, fabricate a prospectus, launch an IPO based on lies.  Everyone who owns some of the company at launch makes a bunch of money, CEO leaves with his suitcases of cash, company collapses, employees and defrauded investors are fucked.  Bush tells government to make up crimes against Don Siegelman.
