To the shock of everyone, AIG Chairman, CEO, and HBIC Eddy Liddy quits as soon as a replacement (or two, because can one single man do both his jobs? I submit that he cannot) can be found.  Three board members quit, too.

I wouldn’t want that job either, you know?  Is there a bigger resume stain than “Used to run AIG, 2008-2009″?  One wonders who could be appointed to fill the glut of openings.  Of course, I have suggestions!

First, in an effort to save the company some money, just name G. Gordon Liddy as his immediate replacement.  That way, no one has to update the company phone book, office directory, signs, or phone system.  Plus, won’t it be fun when he organizes a break-in at the GS offices?

That leaves the three board seats.  It would make me giddy to fill those with Diddy, Fiddy, and…oh, some old biddy.  Just think, an all-new committee, steeped in the inner city and able to, on command, sing a little ditty.  Maybe the old biddy will bring an itty-bitty kitty.  Wouldn’t that be pretty witty?

Still, Edward Liddy, you were pushed into the job when no one wanted it, took the blame for a lot of crap that wasn’t your fault, and lost a solid nine months of your life that surely felt more like nine years, and provided us with a wealth of material.  For that, you at least get a Gucci boot.  

And our pity.
