AIG execs didnt do their own due diligence in buying up all the shit assets they did, so why should they expect the government to do them any better then they did their investors?

this is like giving a bus driver a bonus after he crashs a bus and kills passengers, simply because you told him you would. sorry but sometimes when you fuck up real bad... all bets are off.
While I agree with your sentiment and do not think these execs should be paid, you need to realize these are NOT performance bonuses, they are retention bonuses
