Wait, wait... Hold on, hold on... Did I hear right? He paid 10's of thousands $ bonuses to staff?!?

1. If they did a good job, how much would they get? Maybe to keep too many rats from

deserting the sinking ship? He probably promised them more loot if they stick it out to the end. Looting is what it's all about. It's what Willard does. From donors, taxpayers or corporations. It's all the same to him.

2. I guess Tim Pawlenty's envelope wasn't fat enough.

4. He probably found a way to deduct it on next year's taxes?

or maybe last year's taxes, you just never know with Mitt. He can't be trusted .

5. I thought it was more than that

I had read that nine staffers were each given $200,000.

[MrScorpio]

6. I read it as the $200,000 was split between the staffers nt

8. Well, in all fairness they don't expect to make it to Christmas.

9. Take the money and run - this is the best they got to save our crappy economy?

[madrchsod]

10. did the staffers pay taxes on that income?
