Apparently you are blissfully unaware that the AIG bonuses were set up by none other than Chris Dodd (D-Jerkwater)So stop your high moral dudgeon. And by the way, I'm sure you're aware AIG held the Congressional pensions in its portfolio. No? That's understandable if you only get your "news" from Katie Couric or Jon Liebowitz. For what it's worth, I believe the crooks on Wall Street rival the crooks in Congress, but a contract is a contract, and if a Senator slides bonuses in, what are you going to do?
