1. Where's Cenk take on the Stewart Cramer masssacre?...

he was talking about it mid-week but has been silent on what went down thursday night

4. Cenk talked about Stewart Vs. Cramer Last night (he was on vacation Thursday/Friday).

As you know it has nothing to do with his . If that was the case, he wouldn't be and writing articles like (over 94,000 views at Huffington Post alone, not to mention views at DailyKos and other sites).

My best guess is that there's no youtube clip because Cenk missed the prime time to put out a clip having been on vacation Friday, with no show on the weekends. Putting out a clip late Monday night would really have been behind the curve, and there wasn't much original to say at that point.

And again, he discussed it on the show last night. There are plenty of times he talks about youtube worthy things, only to not post them on youtube to my disappointment.

2. That's what companies do when there's NO oversight

20. What if a few of those AIG folks knew exactly what they were doing ??

Do you remember Nedry from Jurassic Park - who set up the secure computer system, locked it up and then fled?



I hope Cuomo does his homework -

Could they simply be blackmailing the United States Government into paying them boatloads of cash or they will let the markets fall and they will not dismantle these financial bombs they have constructed?

Could this be considered financial terrorism?

What about the $200 million in bonuses I heard about that are coming due in the next quarter?

3. Excellent video. This is a Cat One failure and any Democrats

voting for the next worthless bailout will hear from their constituents at election time.

23. They heard from us LAST time and IGNORED us. As they will again.

Welcome to DU!

5. I agree Plum, everyone DOES need to see this video.

But you buried your own video by posting so many others after it! Now the view total is doomed, doomed I tell you!

6. :) I bow to your superior video strategy skillz!

8. Don't worry, I'll give you an assist....

;)

PS---For the record, AIG didn't receive any TARP funds. Still, the general point is dead-on.

12. everyone should watch this....

16. It's sad that many don't want to hear the truth

I'm still behind Obama and I've supported him heavily, but let's leave this "see no evil, speak no evil" bullshit for the Republicans!

If Dems do something wrong, we need to call them out on it, not pretend it never happened and not rationalize it away.

25. I'm with you... I don't want an image, I want Substance

from my Political Party. Those who want to dismiss this out of fear of helping the other side smear Democrats in general are fools.

15. I am begining to think Obama is the anti-FDR

he has done nothing progressive to put a stop to these thieves.

17. Thanks Cenk

for reminding us of how this all went down. Un-fucking-believable.

[asphalt.jungle]

18. Isn't this AIG bonus stuff related

to last spring's contracts? and AIG isn't getting any TARP2 money so why is Cenk talking like some recent legislation allowed this to happen.

[SlowDownFast]

19. K&R. Congress, Obama and Geithner are complicit.

Before the Fall, AIG Payouts Went to Washington
