Aww, poor AIG CEO Robert Benmosche. He's upset over the criticisms of AIG and it's pay practices.
You know, once I get past the sheer offensiveness of the statement, I wind up shocked to consider that he believes the drivel he's just spouted.
Ummm... yeah.
Robert Benmoshe said:...the uproar [over AIG executive bonuses during the bailout of AIG] "was intended to stir public anger, to get everybody out there with their pitch forks and their hangman nooses, and all that - sort of like what we did in the Deep South [decades ago]. And I think it was just as bad and just as wrong."

CNN said:Asked for a comment about the quotes, AIG released a statement from Benmosche saying, ""It was a poor choice of words. I never meant to offend anyone by it."
Ummm... yeah.
