When they came for AIG

The letter by AIG executive Jake DeSantis submitting his resignation should be a cause of shame for the politicians and pundits hounding AIG in connection with its payment of retention bonuses. It eloquently articulates the disgust appropriate to the occasion. Thanks to the New York Times for publishing “Dear AIG, I quit!”

Among those for whom DeSantis’s letter should be a cause for shame are Barack Obama, Timothy Geithner, Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, Richard Blumenthal and the many journalists and pundits who have egged them on, such as the one who credited Cuomo for his good works last night at Obama’s press conference.
