Oh, please, please, please don't steal the money back from all those good Repugs who stole it from us in the first place!

Normally, I wouldn't link to Jonah "Jizz 'n Cheetos" Goldberg, but this time he's unusually outlandish. He doesn't think it's right to go for clawback on the big bonuses. What a dork. You can actually go leave him a comment.

And here's a general rule of life: When you buy an elephant, you can't refuse to buy the manure that comes with it. You can try, but, soon enough, you'll be knee-deep in problems anyway. And they'll continue to pile up no matter how loudly you complain that "this isn't what I paid for."

Yeah, J 'n C, you oughta know. You been mainlining elephant shit for years.

We should have learned from the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac what dangers lie ahead: The rule of law and political manipulation of the economy don't mix well. Liddy -- the front-line sweeper behind the AIG elephant -- has already warned the administration that letting politics dictate salaries and bonuses will make it difficult for the firm to hold on to talented staff.

'Talented staff' my ass. Is he referring to the 'talented staff' that wrecked the joint and are now giving themselves our money?

The New York Times reports that the administration is worried about a coming "populist backlash." It's right to be worried. But further blurring the lines between politics and the market isn't the answer. That's how we got in this mess in the first place.

We got into this mess because your 'politics' let these bastards rape, pillage, and steal from the rest of us, you dumb little shit.
