Oh, I also wanted to mention that the original bailout deal was given to each member of Congress to read, and then vote on.
Meaning they either didn't read the bill, which would explain why none of them knew about the AIG bonuses....or they did, and decided to do nothing about it.
I found this gem while reading about the original bailout.
