This is why we need print newspapers. On page one of the New York Times business section today, Floyd Norris swims around in the question of why the good-hearted bankers of Goldman Sachs feel so unloved — might have something to do with that $1.8 billion profit they just posted after receiving $10 billion in TARP money and another $28 billion borrowed with a guarantee from the FDIC, he writes.

Not to mention the $13 billion the firm got from AIG, out of the insurer's bailout funds.

I let my eye wander over to the lower right of the page, for this headline: "AIG Chief Has Millions in Goldman." Edward M. Liddy holds $3 million in Goldman stock, which the paper says he got for serving on the bank's board and audit committee until he took the AIG job in September. His press person told the Times that the stake represents:

"a small percentage of his total net worth."

I think that's supposed to make the public feel better about it. I think.
