Come on Al, surprise me with an actual defense. Well, I will leave that to you...start by reading his post and defend the statement he made...here is it. Stupid Democrats will run this company into the ground. The stupid democrats will run AIG into the ground...that's what you defended...your last defense was of laura ingrham trying to shut up megan mccain with some spurious argument you tried to nuance into vapor nonsense...that's after she wrote a book about shutting people up...all the while coming up with one of your dumb rules about being shut up? So now according to you the stupid democrats are responsible for bungling the entire bailout, even though the bailout of AIG and the financial sector was started by Paulson and Bush...and us libs supported it and still do. All do you do is fabricate and throw darts about shit you don't know anything about as long as it satisfies your first rule of partisan politics...it must be partisan. Al

Al, > You would defend an idiotic statement like that... Nothing idiotic about his statement. The whole bailout of AIG is being bungled from the top down. Key Democrats were all for the bonuses before they were against them, leading to this hostile political climate. That's one way to jerk around the very people you're entrusting with the financial future of Wall Street. Bungled hardly? The smart thing was to let AIG pay its people according to the contracts established in the first place. Populist politics said otherwise and of course, Congress fell for it. If there was bungling, it was on the political level, and had little to do with the country's economic problems.
