AIG - Unintended Consequences

I watched the Sunday news shows this morning. Well, all but George Stephanopoulos, poor guy, who keeps getting moved around my timezone to accommodate sports.

No less than three of the guests and two of the panel participants, after stating the, now fashionable, preamble of "Now I hate anything to do with AIG, but........" pointed out that we must be cautious of "Unintended Consequences" in our actions on the AIG bonuses.

I absolutely agree with that sentiment, but I just couldn't stop myself from wondering how it is that identical phrases all seem to take flight within hours of each other, across network divides and party lines. Why is that?
