AIG to America: screw you

Let me get this straight. We give [expletive deleted] AIG a $170 billion bailout to save our banking system (and maybe the world's entire economy) from complete collapse, and AIG in turn decides to give $100 million in bonuses to [expletive deleted] executives in the business unit that brought the company--and the word--to the brink of an economic cataclysm.
Even folks as jaded as those who made the saying "no good deed goes unpunished" so popular will have trouble swallowing the unbelievable "screw you and the horse you rode in on" chutzpa of the dumbass ingrates at AIG.
According to the New York Times, the spineless Obama administration went along with the bonuses (read: the screwing of the American taxpayer):
Administration officials said they had managed to reduce some of the bonuses but had allowed most of them to go forward after the company’s chief executive said A.I.G. was contractually obligated to pay them.
Because AIG was "contractually obligated?" Give me a break. Let those [expletive deleted] executives sue for their so-called bonuses and try to defend their actions--either negligence or the exercise of extremely poor judgment--by which they so vastly underestimated the risk of the notorious credit-default swaps that nearly toppled AIG last fall. I want to see them convince some judge or jury that their performance justifies $100 million in bonuses. I really want to see that.
On behalf of at least one American Taxpayer, to AIG: Screw you.
