AIG Comedy/Tragedy

AIG: We made stupid financial deals, Congress please give me taxpayer money or the world will end.

Congress: We can't have AIG go bankrupt, the world will end. Here, take this check for 100 billion dollars and do what you want with it.

AIG: Thank you for the check. Now that we deposited it, we promised to give millions to our employees in bonuses.

Congress: You can't do that, that's rewarding people for bad decisions.

AIG: Sorry, the contract was already made when you gave us money. The only way you can change that is if you let us go bankrupt. You would have noticed that if you actually looked at what you were doing.

Congress: It's AIG's fault. We are blameless.

AIG: By the way, we need more money or the world will end.
