AIG Takes Another Luxury Junket - In Secret!

AIG, those fine fellows who got billions in bail out money from you and me, have done it again. Even as they are pleading the case for additional funds from the government, they sent their top executives on another junket. This time to a luxury resort and spa in Phoenix, AZ.

The tried to keep their meeting a secret, avoiding any logos or signs and even forbidding the hotel staff to mention their presence. Luckily, enterprising reporters for ABC15.com (KNXV) caught the AIG executives on hidden cameras poolside and leaving the spa at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort.

So why are these jerks getting away with this crap? I think it's high time we took an equity stake in AIG and a place in the board room. These crooks need to be fired without their golden parachutes. I am not one for nationalization but in this case, we have put $150 billion into this company and they still can't reign in these free-spending idiots who got the company into hot water in the first place.
