Funny how the whole AIG "outrage" was a "hot" item in the news and then faded away. And all the talk about porky execs returning their misbegotten bonuses, and "outrage" by congress, the president, and the FED.....meant nothing.
Don't these folks work for those who they "represent"?
Well (ahem) yes they do. They actually DO work for those they "represent". They just don't represent....us.
You must understand that execs returning bonuses sets a bad precedent. Can you imagine?, execs having to actually earn their millions in bonuses based on the same sort of criteria as us little people....performance.
Well, that is....oink.....outrageous!!!
Take the money, wait the furor to die down, and then make off with the loot.
God Bless America!!! OINK!!!
