Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat, cited an e-mail exchange in which George Walker, President Bush's cousin and a member of the Lehman executive committee, mocked a proposal for top company executives to forego their 2008 bonuses. <BR/><BR/>Walker responded to the proposal from a fund manager at Lehman unit Neuberger Berman by saying, "Sorry, team.
