I think this whole affair is pretty funny. The Republicans, if they were really concerned about free markets, might have bothered a bit more about Bush handing AIG et al $170 gazillion dollars in the first place.

I think the error in this latest bit is that 90% is too low....102% tax on these bonuses would have been reasonable I think....you know, an extra 2% to cover transaction costs. If nothing else, the dems have given some companies a rare incentive not to take money from the government.
