But As For Me notes that the guarantee of bonuses to AIG was specifically (thanks to Chris Dodd) written into the stimulus bill, you know, the one Congress had to immediately rush through to “keep the economy from collapsing” (via Jim Geraghty).

Guess what? This country has been bitten in the a**. Again. By people who don’t know what the hell they’re doing – or do, but try to cover it up later. If Chris Dodd gets re-elected to the Senate next year, the people of CT will get what they deserve out of it – but the rest of the country will not.
(Sheesh – can you tell I’m mad? This is the most curse words I’ve ever put into one post.)
