At least he didn't say "Inherited"

AIG Chairman and CEO Edward M. Liddy has an op-ed in the Washington Post entitled "Our Mission at AIG: Repairs, and Repayment" this morning. He is trying to justify the payment of the $165 million bonuses. Good luck with that there, Mr. Liddy. But for one thing we can be grateful: in telling the tale of his appointment at AIG after the hapless Martin Sullivan, he spares us the word "inherited."

I suppose that word is government property.
