Comments on: AIG CEO Liddy: Chairman Bernanke And The Federal Reserve Approved Of Bonuses http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/03/18/liddy-bernanke/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:42:01 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: s3n http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/03/18/liddy-bernanke/comment-page-1/#comment-130033 s3n Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:13:13 +0000 http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2009/03/18/liddy-bernanke/#comment-130033 <strong>Much of the discussion regarding the AIG bonus debacle is revolving around who in the government knew that the bonuses were coming and when they knew it. </strong> This was your opening for a post which thoroughly avoided any such questions. Literally half of Memorandum is concerned with all manner of developments on that front and yet ThinkProgress can't manage a single mention of it. Why not just start writing Obama poetry and get it over with you shills.

Meanwhile, Dodd's finally admitted he put this protection of bonuses in at the insistance of Treasury and/or administration officials. I guess we're waiting on someone to think up a way of spinning that as another case of Republican hypocrisy. That’s nice.
