 The Fed said late Tuesday that it was extending a two-year, $85 billion bridge loan to the troubled insurer in exchange for a stake in AIG that could reach 80%. AIG will have to pay back the loan in full by selling off some of its assets. AIG had been on the verge of collapse as it scrambled to raise cash in the aftermath of the subprime mortgage collapse and subsequent credit crunch. AIG shares plunged 45% Wednesday.

 Did you catch Saturday Night Live taking its first whack at GOP VP Sarah Palin? If so, you were part of SNL's biggest audience since 2001. Click here in case you missed it . . .Carly Fiorina, a top aide to McCain, told MSNBC that the skit was sexist. "The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial," Fiorina said. "I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes, I would say, sexist in the sense that just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean she lacks substance."Clinton, who was portrayed as ferociously ambitious, was the target of some of the meanest jokes. She even tore up the podium.Question: Do you think the skit was funny or disrespectful? |

 ABC News anchor Charles Gibson will interview vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin Thursday night on the evening news. At an April debate, Gibson pulled no punches with Barack Obama and put him in a full-nelson asking him about issues that he felt the people needed to know about. The LA Times asked readers for their opinions on questions that Gibson should ask Palin. Here are their suggestions:
* You have been skeptical that global warming is caused by humans. On what basis do you reject the scientific consensus that fossil fuels and human activity have contributed to climate change? * You asked the librarian in your town about the policy for banning books. Are there books you think should be kept from the public? * You have claimed credit for killing the "bridge to nowhere," the $398-million link between Ketchikan and Gravina Island. Didn't you support it until it was clear Congress was not willing to pay for the much-ridiculed project? * You have said students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of evolution. Should creationism be taught alongside evolution in the public schools? Do you believe in evolution? * What's at the root of the terrorist problem in Pakistan? And how would you make progress, which has eluded the Bush administration, in that dangerous country? * Your opponents claim you and McCain would just extend the Bush administration for another four years. Cite three instances in which you have differed with the president.
