Pity the middle-aged fool who happens to have a somewhat round, slightly doughy looking face though no other discernable physical similarities to AIG CEO Edward Liddy.
[Zippy] Duvall, president of the Georgia Farm Bureau, was minding his own business this morning as he walked down a corridor of the Rayburn House Office Building outside the hearing room where a committee was probing the AIG bonuses. Suddenly, he was surrounded by lights, television cameras and microphones.
“Are you ready for this hearing?” somebody shouted.
“Do you think they’re going to treat you fairly?”
Duvall stopped to chat amiably with the mob of reporters. “If I knew I was going to get all this attention, I’d have gotten my hair cut,” said the farm bureau president, who is almost completely bald.
As the questions continued to fly, one of Duvall’s farm-bureau colleagues shared a thought with his suddenly-popular boss: “I think they think you’re somebody else.”
It was of course, a case of mistaken identity. Duvall, as it happens, bears not even a passing resemblance to AIG Chairman Edward Liddy. If the lack of Liddy’s white hair didn’t give it away, surely the peanut-print tie and the farm-bureau lapel pin should have. “We’re here to represent farmers,” Duvall explained as the questioners began to disperse.

Not gonna lie, the tie would throw me off too. I mean, it’s AIG, right?
And people wonder why the reporting on this AIG mess is so uninformed. Unreal.
Tag = LMFAO.
Just when you thought the news couldn’t get anymore depressing.
Tragically pathetic… I’m sure some of those press idiots were like,
“hey, chunky white guy… what was your role in this?”
“Farmers?.. do we still have those?”
Liddy should get a job at the Georgia Farm Bureau, but even that may be beyond his abilities. What a f’n douchebag weasel he is.
@6- you have zero clue what you’re talking about, and was told as much on the last post you left that comment on. give up.
This guy should give back his tie to the American Taxpayers!
He should have run with it and given the press some locker room bullitin board quotes to really get the bloodlust going, would have been fun watching the gasbags use it as their headlines
