Mark the date & time, Denizens.  I’m actually in agreement with a libtard.
If this  is true – and I have no reason to believe that it isn’t, despite the fact that it comes from the Associated (with terrorists) Press – I’m inclined to agree with Henry Waxman on this.
Less than a week after the federal government had to bail out American International Group Inc. (AIG), the company sent executives on a $440,000 retreat to a posh California resort, lawmakers investigating the company’s meltdown said Tuesday.
The tab included $23,380 worth of spa treatments for AIG employees at the coastal St. Regis resort south of Los Angeles even as the company tapped into an $85 billion loan from the government it needed to stave off bankruptcy.
The retreat didn’t include anyone from the financial products division that nearly drove AIG under, but lawmakers were still enraged over thousands of dollars spent on catered banquets, golf outings and visits to the resort’s spa and salon for executives of AIG’s main U.S. life insurance subsidiary.
“Average Americans are suffering economically. They’re losing their jobs, their homes and their health insurance,” House Oversight Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., scolded the company during a lengthy opening statement. “Yet less than one week after the taxpayers rescued AIG, company executives could be found wining and dining at one of the most exclusive resorts in the nation.”
Now, five’ll get you ten that AIG’s “leaders” are, in fact, Demoscum.  Which would make Waxman’s angst ironic, if palatable.  But if AIG execs are feasting on caviar & lobster tail after just having my tax money bail those bastards out, then rack & thumbscrew are too good for the mothers.
And you may quote me.
I see here where that Cupid Stunt™, Claire McCaskill, claims to have spit on an earpiece prior to giving same to Mitt Romney.
Memo to Claire McCuntmuffin:  Tell me  that, sweetie, and said earpiece is getting shoved right up your ass.
And I do  mean that literally.
Bitch.
