My former governor (and hooker-lover) gets what is going on here - the focus on the bonuses is obscuring the real crime - the payment to AIG's counter-parties (through its insurance obligations - see CDS).
Which should cause us to ask the question - who really owned the Bush administration? I'm sure many red avatars can answer this correctly, to a certain extent. Hopefully, we've even reached the point where blue avatars can answer this question too.
More importantly, for now, we need to ask who really owns the Obama administration, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, etc. since they're the ones focusing on the bonuses as opposed to the counter-party payments?
Just trying to get some thinking *outside the box* here folks... 
Good analysis. Both parties are definitely way too beholden to corporations, no doubt.
