The board of the American International Group has declined to join a lawsuit against the federal government over its $182 billion taxpayer-financed bailout, the company said on Wednesday.

And thus fizzles a much overhyped non-news story.

    How big an influence was the overhyped non-news story on the decision by the board?

    @John: We’ll never know. Nice routine. Accuse someone of wanting to do something, make a big stink, and if they don’t do it, claim credit for averting the evil bastard from carrying out the plan. Great setup.
