According to Robert Benmosche, the people who have been on his case for kicking off his AIG career by tending his grapes in Croatia, have it all wrong. The truth of the matter is he really doesn’t need anybody else around and can fulfill all of the duties of CEO of one of the most troubled companies in the world by telecommuting.

AIG continues its lock on “Stupidest Company of the Century” Award!!! Where do they come up with these knuckle-headed Idiots!!!!
This guy is a real fucking baller. All you hedgie bitches need to take a note on how to roll.
He should take a vacation from life.
He’s just tryin’ to impress BHO by being just like him.
zzzzzzzzzzzz
I do not approve of this previewing comments bit…makes for a double post.

Hi guys ;)
Why is there still no post on the new FDIC rules?
@1: I disagree–I think AIG should win the “Smartest Company of the Century.” It’s employees made a ton of money for many years, then when everything fell apart because of the products they sold, gov’t bailed out them out, the stockholders took the loss, and they got early retirement. Looks to me like they won the game.
If I could find a job where I get to reap all of the upside reward and not be subject to any of the downside risk, I’d consider that a victory.
I warned the management of AIG many times in the comments of this blog and others that the premiums they were charging for CDS were too low. Of course, my advice went unheeded just as it often was back when I was practicing medicine. My patients would come back with some chronic fatal condition crying to me to save them, but it was too late…
@11 nice

@11 Did you warn your “top” as well not to stick it in too far when you girls play pirates together?
How’d he get that job? I want it!
Greg, your writing consistently makes me wish my mother had aborted me. Fuck you.
#14 You’d get lockjaw before you S’ed enough Ds to get that gig
I thought that guy was on trial in the Hague?
Seriously the guy looks like some drunk they dragged out of a Tiki bar, gave a million bucks and made CEO.
I thought that guy was thrown out of basketball for hitting a kid?

Look, it’s not like they’re paying him a lot of money. At least he’s got his priorities straight. I actually like the guy. Just email it in.
Plus, just think of the teen sex slave trade there. They must line up outside the gate every morning like day laborers. “OK, this morning I’ve got one xylobones, OK that’s you honey, and one funbags, ok right there. Sorry girls, that’s all today.”
Laziness is the sin most willingly confessed to, since it implies talents greater than have yet appeared.
@23
you forgot to add ‘Mark Klein MD’ – then you’re post would’ve been funny
Hah — good for this guy! I hope he never winds up on a street corner, with a lamp-post and a bus full of ACORN supporters nearby someday.
Do they have dickweeds in Croatia?
I’d skip out the country if my stock was getting the shit speculated out of it too.
Are you guys hedging your shorts? This is ridiculous.
Anybody seen a pair of Killer Loop sunglasses layin’ around?

Charlie, they’re laying next to the drill you used to make the glory hole in AD’s dressing room wall.
The last guy that failed to show up at the office saw his firm turn belly up,which ended up as a cash for clunkers trade in at the Jamie Dimon dealership………..
Nevermind about the sunglasses, fellas. I had them on.

@26 What???!!! You didn’t see the picture on this article….Duh!

I telecommute every day. I’m supposedly head of Latin Am operations for my company, but haven’t traveled there in over a year due to travel spending cuts.
“telecommute” is such a stupid word. just admit that you “work from home.”
I warned Charlie Gasparino many times in the comments of this Blog that too Gabbagol can make you testy. Did he listen to me? No.
I also warned Barney Frank and Congress, via my posts on IMDB, financial professionals that CDs were unsound, obsolete, and took up too much room in this age of I-Tunes. Did they listen to me? No.
I warned Alice not to step into that mirror – based on my experiences when I used to be a Mad Hatter. Did she listen to me? No.
NOBODY FUCKING LISTENS TO ME!!!!
