suze!

while i can't say i go out of my way to watch her, my impression is that suze orman is the only person on CNBC who deserves a little respect and isn't all about trying to talk up stock prices. so good for her.

while i think the AIG bonuses were pretty egregious, the blame-AIG-for-everything mood sweeping the country is really quite stupid. the real problem is that the leadership of this country washed its hands of regulating the financial markets. to some extent the blame is systemic. but if you need to pin it somewhere, it's with the people who made the rules (and by that i mean "didn't make the rules").
