I read the whole thing but I’m not sure what it said.

Thanks for the ping, Ernest. I read Taibbi’s piece last night and, despite the source, agreed with much of where he lays the blame. He left out a few related actions that also contributed, but after 8 pages, I think he covered the meat of it.

The Big Takeover - AIG

Filed for later read. Thanks.

Ernest. I got through the first five pages of MATT TAIBBI's article at the Rolling Stones.
Due to a bit of fatigue from being at the hospital for most of each of the last four days watching over my mom who was admitted and just now is starting to do better, I'll spare you the details, I have not been on the boards much nor up to making spirited responses to many pings.
But *hit. If what this guy says is all true, which much of it is most probably easily verifiable just on what we have learned over the past few months, both sides of the political spectrum are equally responsible for this financial meltdown. We cannot just point the fingers at ACORN, Rahm Emenual, Franklin Raines and the rest of Zero's goons squads and associates, but even more must point the finger at so called responsible investment bankers and Insurance companies, obviously AIG being the bulls eye.
These bastards all should be serving very very long prison sentences. They all are equally as greedy and evil as Madduk. His scam is like a little kid stealing a candy bar compared to a team of hoods robbing all the banks in say NYC.
And clowns like Graham. Damn him and the rest on both sides of the house that allowed all this shit to come to past, with no or modified regulations.
