purejuiceSo I heard on TV, I can't remember where, so it really must be God's own Truth, that the FDIC has in place a mechanism whereby contracts are abrogated when they come in and relieve a bank of its assets.
And Geithner and Summers are pretending they never heard of this? They're pretending they have to re-invent the wheel.
Geithner's solution, that he's going to deduct the boni out of the next disbursement is actuarially correct and spiritually out of line. They, and not we, are to be brought to account. I'm looking to NY AG Cuomo to get some retribution here, for his own nefarious purposes, obviously, but I don't really care about his motives.
The AIG exec bonus deciders are not the only heads that need to roll. This farce of having the perfectly odious, down to his fucking toenails, unrepentantly politically tone-deaf, Summers on the Sunday pundit shows expressing his righteous outrage over the boni is revolting, as is their apparent practice of letting the O man enact the outrage -- I'm choked up with anger, which he famously never is -- of the Little Man. Cynical and manipulative arrogance doesn't fucking play when the ship's going down. And I'm tired of Obama's rock star thing. Jay Leno? This is your Marie Antoinette idea of a riposte to a populist uprising? They sound increasingly trapped in the twittering smoke and blue mirrors world. Give me a break. Godammit.
