Courtesy of Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi, a complete rhetorical incineration of the AIG exec that lamented his lost bonus.

Here’s a particularly incendiary volley of pyrotechnics:

First of all, Jake, you asshole, no plumber in the world gets paid a $740,000 bonus, over and above his salary, just to keep plumbing. Second, try living on a plumber’s salary before you even think about comparing yourself to one; you’re inviting a pitchfork in the gut by even thinking along those lines. Third, Jake, if you were a plumber, and the electrician burned the house down — well, guess what? If you and that electrician worked for the same company, you actually wouldn’t get paid for that job.

I’ve really come to enjoy Taibbi after following his 2008 campaign contributions to RS.
