AIG and the Big Takeover

Matt Taibbi on Democracy Now!

If you haven't already, you should check out his piece on AIG in the new Rolling Stone. It's not as entertaining as some of his other shit, but it goes pretty deep as far as explaining how the economy got all fucked the fuck up. It's like those great episodes of This American Life. My bad, if you have no idea what I'm talking about.

You know what is entertaining though? His repsonse to the guy who did that op-ed in the Times the other day whining about how he didn't get his fair share of the bailout money, and so he's donating his retention bonus (after it gets taxed out the ass anyway) to charity.

Part 2/2 after the jump.
