Robert Benmosche - AIG Douche

Douche Bag: Robert Benmosche
Claim: To be quiting as CEO of AIG because he is outraged by government restrictions on executive pay
Biggest Oversight: There are thousands of equally qualified douches ready to take his place and get paid millions to run a failing company further into the ground.
Outcome: He has now "reconsidered" and decided to stay on the job because where else in this economy can he get paid millions of dollars?
Douche Bag Rating: 9 out of 10 bags, for extraordinary egotism and a complete lack of connection to reality

(Ironically, this was the same pose I took when I heard him open up for The Swell Season)

Douche Bag: Thomas Bartlett of Doveman
Claim: To have any discernable singing talent whatsoever
Biggest Oversight: His singing is so bad, it elicted laughter as soon as he opened his mouth
Outcome: Like so many douche bags, lack of talent is trumped by some unknown force (I suspect kidnapping and extortion)
Douche Bag Rating: 6 out of 10 bags, for blatant audacity
