AIG Executives: Proof That Money Can’t Buy You Brains.

Welcome to "The Gilded Age II: Patrician Boogaloo":

Four top AIG executives flipped U.S. taxpayers the bird by spending $86,000 on a partridge hunt at an English country manor as the feds gave their struggling firm billions to stay afloat.

The heedless hunters and their guests traipsed through the fields in tweed knickers, firing at defenseless birds and later washing down pigeon breasts and halibut with "the finest wines taxpayers’ money can buy," the London-based News of the World newspaper reported.

Never fear: New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has written a very strongly worded letter decrying the insurance giant’s profligate spending!

If anyone’s looking for me, I’ll be over here in the corner, sharpening my pitchfork.
