After Bailout, AIG Execs Head to California Resort
Rescued by Taxpayers, $440,000 for Retreat Including “Pedicures, Manicures”

ABC NEWS By BRIAN ROSS and TOM SHINE

October 7, 2008—

Less than a week after the federal government committed $85 billion to bail out AIG, executives of the giant AIG insurance company headed for a week-long retreat at a luxury resort and spa, the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, California, Congressional investigators revealed today.

“Rooms at this resort can cost over $1,000 a night,” Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) said this morning as his committee continued its investigation of Wall Street and its CEOs.

AIG documents obtained by Waxman’s investigators show the company paid more than $440,000 for the retreat, including nearly $200,000 for rooms, $150,000 for meals and $23,000 in spa charges.

    You are just envious of success.

    A sense of humor is a terrible thing to waste.

  3. Donsquishy says:

    you still have questions to answer little boy…

    now back to your homework

  4. pandora says:

    … or you have anon’s dry wit.

  5. pandora says:

    With regard to the post… This is the sort of thing that drives voters crazy. While people lose their jobs, worry about rising prices, etc. the people responsible for the mess relax in the lap of luxury.

  6. Donsquishy says:

    see now read closely. That would be an example of you how you attack people.

    you take their coments, twist them around and then directly target the person that made the remark.

    what did that acoomplish?
    what dialogue did that create?
    how does a discussion ensue when you start off like that?

    now, back to your homework, but remember this little lesson and try to apply it later.

    assuming you can make a decent reference I may allow it to stay up for others to engage you…

    but for now…no, no, no little boy

    You all need to step outside of the far left box and take a look, the only good thing Obama was secure, sincere and passionate about was Health insurance. Up to that point, he did what he always does, blew air and scratched his butt to make it charm all the half-wits that believe in him.

    How many warnings did we ignore about 9/11? How many warnings does it take to get across the fiscal status the ENTIRE Congress put us in. Who is leading the House and the Senate? Duh!!??? I ain’t blonde nor am I stupid. Keep believing all this bs the media feeds you and by God I am holding you responsible for what my grandchildren have to endure in the future. God help us all and God I pray for America. She’s falling fast and there doesn’t seem to be anything to stop it. I am a registered Dem, but am so saddened that there isn’t either party I wish to be affiliated with out there. Greed, crooks, liars, cheats, where are the founding fathers, where are the ones who truly care about our country? Why can’t we come up with decent candidates that we can respect and respect and honor us in return. We had all better get on our knees every day and pray to God that he stills loves our demoralized country enough to save us all! God Bless America!

    the freaking guy can barely walk.

    dude is hunched over at an 80 degree angle

    bwood,

    you get one warning and one only. Watch the racist comment please. You ain’t blonde and you aren’t stupid, but you are a racist.

    thin ice my friend.
