On Tuesday, I posted a press release I'd received from AIG media relations rep Peter Tulupman in response to a post I'd written expressing outrage at the news of yet another expensive AIG retreat taken after the taxpayer bailout. In the Tuesday post, I invited Daily Kos readers to submit questions to Mr. Tulupman in the hopes that the desire he expressed on behalf of AIG to engage in dialogue with our community was geniune.
I submitted scores of questions that were generated in comments, and the next day, Mr. Tulupman asked that they be culled down to 10. I proceeded to narrow them down (although not down to 10 ... perhaps to about 30) and he and I agreed it would probably take several exchanges to work through them. Today's entry is the first pass...
Scanning the comments, most respondents are being very thoughtful. My experience is that the masses are not as fire-breathing as some folks think. The vast majority appreciate dialogue, and I'd bet the "lurkers" do too.
