Senator Grassly said he would appreciate it if these guys committed suicide. He was joking, he said later but ALMOST ALL of our congressmen and senators have got to LOVE the fact that AIG is a convenient target for our collective wrath.
That serves nicely to distract us from how badly they betrayed the public trust and sold their souls for the grateful coziness with AIG who in turn permitted them to gather up the crumbs underneath their great table. Like the Ibises who succulently pull ticks and other insects off of great beasts in the field, or the Egyptian Plovers that clean leftovers from the teeth of crocodiles, these annelidical things we call congressional representatives of the people have bled the American public again and again for the humble access to commercial power (i.e. political contribution potential).
Now they really appreciate AIG one more time - AIG is now serving as a great congressional heat shield as the Reaganomic Experiment re-enters the atmosphere of reality.
Welcome home - you make a pretty sight. And remember, whenever EVERYBODY is piling on, that's a sure sign that the real culprit has gotten away.
