I don't know if Frank made a similar comment, but Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) made a comment that the AIG execs should do as the Japanese execs do when something gets royally screwed up: apologize sincerely and then either resign or commit suicide.
ETA: x-posted with Munchkin. Grassley is a fairly blunt guy and made a similar comment last fall (before the bonus "scandal"). What he really wants is the AIG execs to admit, "Hey, we completely effed up everything. We realize that. We know we can't change it, but we are sorry." Not like it will ever happen, but that's the supposed explanation for his comment.
