Liddy's most notable accomplishment since moving into the corner office was his ability to stand up to a withering cross examination in March about AIG's collapse. The roasting may have been entertaining, but Liddy had nothing to do with the issues that caused AIG's demise, or the pay packages that some of its executives received while the company rolled over and sank into...
