We're Finally Speechless Over AIG

By Joe Consumer

Here?s our photo of the demonstration in New York yesterday (at Goldman Sachs) protesting Wall Street abuses.  Yes, ThePopTort happens to live just steps away from some of Wall Street?s biggest miscreants.  Go figure!

Oh, and one more thing.  Now AIG, the company that for the last 25 years complained about lawsuits brought by injured policyholders (driven by its own astounding greed), is now suing the federal governement, which just bailed them out for $200 billion. They?re claiming the government owes them $306 million in tax payments, ?some related to deals that were conducted through offshore tax havens.?  I'd say the word "hypocrite" hardly does this situation justice anymore.  Can anyone think of a better word?
