Are you high?</p><br /><p>Let's be clear about AIG's wrongdoing: They collected billions in fees for selling trillions, yes trillions, of dollars worth of credit default swaps they had little ability to make good on. That's why government bailout money is leaking through AIG like a sieve. They are a bottomless pit of liability. AIG isn't keeping that money; it's going right back out the door to pay counterparty claims.

I would imagine just about anyone involved with Citi has very little joy... ask Chrysler.</p><p>Comcast vs. BoA</p><p>On the Comcast/BoA side you've got a lot more parity.  Comcast is battling the failing GM, but Comcast's service sucks so bad it is even worse than a failing car company.  If they didn't monopolize their market, they'd be gone, too.</p><p>As for BoA winning over Chrysler..
