Congratulations, AIG...

...you have achieved what no one else has ever been able to do before!!

Finally, the democrats and republicans agree!

The AIG move to award their CEOs with several million dollar bonuses, AFTER getting bailed out for sucking at running their company, is so greedy and shameless that even republicans are outraged. The news today is plastered with quotes from both political parties, everyone using words like "reckless", "greedy" and "resign".

An even rarer event, a republican finally said something that I not only laughed out loud at hearing, but actually agree with:

Senator Charles Grassley, R-Iowa: I would suggest the
first thing that would make me feel a little bit better
toward them [is] if they'd follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep
bow and say, I'm sorry, and then either do one of two
things: resign or go commit suicide.

Man, that's harsh. I'm not actually advocating for anyone to die, but AIG is going to have a world of shit flying toward it soon, and deservingly so. Is there anyone who doesn't want to see some heads roll?
