Barney Frank has the asked the names of the AIG people who received legal contract bonuses to be released to the public. When are people going to stop voting theatrics so we can get morons like this out of office?
Why do the voters keep putting him in office?
You guys are trying to make what sort of point? Anything new about the MA congressperson we didn’t already know?

Since the taxpayer owns 80% of AIG, I figure these guys are public employees now, and thus their salaries are no longer confidential.
Or at least that’s the way we treat state employees.

You figure wrong.
They are not federal employees. Releasing their names to a public that has shown so many times to have no ability to think rationally and clearly is dangerous.
I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
They publish state worker salaries in the local paper here, it’s always interesting (highest paid state employee is a basketball coach).

If you are the right kind of fella he can fix up to 33 parking tickets.

I was watching this past week as members of both parties took turns jumping in front of the cameras surrounded by their hangers on feigning outrage over the bonuses. I wish a reporter had asked any of them, “why did you approve the bailouts without ensuring large bonuses were paid out in the first place?”
They would have had to admit they are legal contracts and there is nothing they can do about it.
Then, after they shut up I would ask them what guarantees the public has that the same thing is not happening at GM or with any of the trillion dollars we have spent, and they approved.
Finally, I would ask for them to show the same outrage over the salaries for the top guys at Goldman Sachs, and the other financial institutions who are complicit in this mess and who are gladly sitting back letting AIG take the fall for the same thing they are doing.
Yah…the “right” kind of fellah. Got it.

You just gotta love a guy who will sit there, listen to Liddy read a death threat that demands the names and addresses of AIG executives, and then refuse to promise at he would keep such a list confidential.
I believe the appropriate term is “douche bag.”
“I believe the appropriate term is “douche bag.””
Ramen.
I’m waiting for somebody, at least once, to get in front of one of these show trials and tell them to go take a flying you-know-what at a rolling doughnut and then walk out. That’d be priceless.

How dare any one question Barney…You homophobe racists!
Bingo!
How dare any one question Barney…You homophobe racists!
Okay, I get the homophobe part (and there’s nothing more pathetic than an old queen who refuses to acknowledge his time in the sun has come and gone), but what’s the racist angle?
T.
“You homophobe racists!”
Did you not see my queercore thread? i love queercore.
big K, I was trying to be sarcastic. and we all know, that if you question anything the dems do you have to be a homophobe, a racist, a right wing nut job, a christian zealot, a retard (no offense to retards), a redneck, a hillbilly, a NRA goon, SUV driving polluter, non green earth killing murderer…
Oh. I was willing to run with the whole “homophobe racist” meme, too. Now, why do you hate freedom so much?
T.
I love freedom, that is why I have been in the Navy for 28 years now! Country first, demoRATS can kiss my Deep Sea Diving ARSE!
