let's see: company announces about a year ago that bonuses are to be paid; said bonuses are contractually obligated. Further, a provision allowing those bonuses is written into the bill tied to AIG's bailout money. Said writer was the largest beneficiary of AIG PAC money. And now Congress wants to wax indignant that a company is doing exactly what is allowable under terms written by Congress? <br> I wish AIG's CEO, instead of taking his beating, would address the committee thusly: "are you folks finished with your self-righteous and grossly hypocritical chest-thumping yet, because I am done listening. What we did was not illegal or unethical; in fact, it was expressly made legal by you folks. If you want someone to apologize to the American public, gather the rest of your colleagues and all 535 of you can stand on the Capitol steps, appoint a spokesman and have that individual explain to people why you allowed us to do what we did."
