Don't Frank Me Bro

The way libs throw around the term McCarthyism (erroneously) I wonder if they fully understand the irony of Barney Frank now demanding the naming of names of the AIG bonus recepients and Sen Schumer threating to use taxation as a weapon against all those on the AIG lisp list.

I haven't been following the AIG bonus controversy all that closely. I'm not familiar with AIG's contracts or the details of the AIG bail-out. But, in general, I don't think you should get a bonus for disastrously fucking up. I mean, I never have. Its been amusing watching Conservatives try to defend the bonuses, a losing proposition politically if there ever was one.

So, please go on defending the Bush administrations economic policies, the AIG bonuses, and tax cuts for the rich. Go on crying about the poor embryos. (You know that embryos can be frozen and kept in the freezer. Try that with a baby.) You're just ensuring Democratic control for years to come.

Haven't been paying much attention?

Yet if Jamaal Jihadist isn't tucked in at night with a warm glass of goats milk and camel cookies you cry habeas corpus to the high hills.

...and I hate to be the one to break this to you, but your side is losing the argument on AIG as its no longer about bonuses but the incompetency of Frank, Dodd, Obama et al.

Try to keep up.

Speaking of terrorists, one thing I have noticed is that a number of people released from Guantanomo and other sites, are saying that they were tortured, and with considerable evidence to back them up. Now there are only two possibilities: 1) the Bush administration tortured terrorists and then released them or 2) the Bush administration tortured innocent people and then released them. Which is it? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm against torturing terrorists, but I'm just as opposed to releasing terrorists. And I'm certainly opposed to torturing innocent people.

" I don't think you should get a bonus for disastrously fucking up"

Yes you do, youre a democrat. That's your entire platform.

"I mean, I never have."

At least you're honest and admit the entire basis for your argument is bitterness and personal envy.

Anonymous, you're really an idiot.

Were not talking about terrorists Gary, and were not talking about Bush.

We are talking about how Dodd and Obama are in AIGs pocket.

We are talking about how Geithner Dodd and Obama were complicit with the bonuses.

We are talking about how they have lied about it.

We are talking about how they don't have the faintest fucking idea how to solve this problem.

We are talking how Frank is conducting a class warfare witch hunt against civilians.

We are talking about how Schumer wants to use taxation as a weapon.

and...

Anon has a point. Not much difference between the losers on welfare and the losers at AIG.

....well except apparently u are only bitter and jealous about one of them.
