My column last week on Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg spotlighted his declaration of authority to retroactively “claw back” CEO compensation packages offered by TARP recipients that he deemed “excessive.” Reuters reports today that His Highness the Special Master of Compensation himself has raked in some hefty compensation packages: The “pay czar” tasked by the U.S. [...]

White House spokesman Bobby Gibbs says not to worry. The health care czar isn’t going to do anything nefarious with the info gathered by the Internet Snitch Brigade. Uh-huh.
