#5 Seems like these big companies are like the farmer who buys a new truck before declaring bankruptcy. AIG advertises prominately during KU home basketball games (very lucrative space). Sprint, stock abou 5% of what it was a couple years ago, opened the Sprint Center in KC. Ford Stadium in Detroit, Enron Field...I'm sure there are many good and bad examples but these pop to mind instantly.

#6 That's up to $4Million EACH? For 130 managers? Even at $92,500 each for 130 that is over $12Million!
WTF!!!!!
There is not a single manager in AIG that should get a single dollar of bonus money.

#7 Congress is getting all bunched up about the car company executives. Dodd said GM's CEO should go before any consideration of a bailout. There doesn't seem to be the same scrutiny of AIG. Maybe it is because Queen Nancy has retirement holdings in AIG.

#8 perhaps Senator "Friend of Angelo" has the same prescription for Countrywide? Didn't think so. Dodd and Barney Frank should be testifying under oath, not interrogating
