Here at Conservative Command, we’re going to go out on a limb and defend the $165 million in bonuses AIG is paying its executives.  Sure, the prevailing argument is that a company that has benefited from $170 billion in bailout funds should not compensate its executives so lavishly with those same taxpayer dollars.  That idea [...]
