UPDATE: A.P.: White House, Dems backpedaling on AIG. <http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Analysis-White-House-Dems-apf-14677357.html> ANOTHER UPDATE: ABC NEWS: Will Obama, McCain, Dodd Return Contributions From AIG Employees? <http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=7110145&page=1> MORE: "So why did you vote for the AIG payoffs, Rep. Kanjorski?" <http://moelane.com/2009/03/18/so-why-did-you-vote-for-the-aig-payoffs-rep-kanjorski-d-in-11/> STILL MORE, from Ed Morrissey: <http://hotair.com/archives/2009/03/18/video-kanjorski-slams-obama-administration/> "I'm a little confused over Kanjorski's thinly-veiled threat towards Edward Liddy. First, Liddy got brought into AIG by the government after the first bailout; he didn't run AIG when it ran itself into the ground, and he's just beginning to figure out what to fix, as Liddy himself explains in a WaPo column today. Also, as Dave at AOL Political Machine points out, we own 80% of AIG. If we don't like the way the board runs the company, why don't we replace them?" But then who would we blame?
