"
Small, animated crowds" gathered in dozens of cities to protest the AIG mishegas. Don't they call these things
tea parties? No, these events were cooked up by the
SEIU service workers union, which predicted 10,000 would turn out nationwide, though they seem to have drawn
smaller crowds than advertised. Also, tea partiers don't protest banks --
Rush told 'em not to, and their talking points now include
fear for the lives of AIG executives. Actual slayings seem unlikely, though some AIGers have allegedly received
death threats and the Connecticut Working Families Party intends to
drive busloads of protesters around to executives' homes Saturday to give them a hard time. Meanwhile AIG has started
suing other companies instead of
sharing their government loot with them. TGIF: we're getting tired of AIG and look forward to the next corporate symbol of outrage's turn in the dock.
