What Did Their Kids Do?

You know, I wasn’t psyched to hear that AIG was going to be paying out $165 million in bonuses. I was even less impressed with the faked outrage by members on Capitol Hill who acted as if they were completely surprised by this and caught off guard.

But, this is disgusting:

The Connecticut Working Families Party this weekend has organized a bus store that will make stops at Wilton, Connecticut, AIG office as well as the security-patrolled homes of AIG execs who are fearing for their lives.

You know, America, if any of you worked for AIG and these bonuses were written into your contract, you would have taken them, too. Stop kidding yourselves. And, why don’t you focus your outrage at the appropriate place: politicians who created this situation. I don’t understand why threats have included the execs’ families.

It went onto say that they aren’t trying to foment the anger and rage unecessarily. No, you’re just exploiting that anger and rage to turn a quick buck. And, as someone from Connecticut, the people being bussed are from Bridgeport and Hartford? Are you kidding me with this? Yeah, that’s not a recipe to get people killed.
