Dick Parsons rewarded for Carl Icahn's thuggery?

-SHOMARI Time Warner big bear and possible candidate for New York City Mayor Dick Parsons took home some serious bacon to wife Laura last year. Dick reportedly took home $22.5 million because according to the Time Warner board, he reached most of his targets. However he could have taken home double that but we guess the board didn't want any attention regarding any big pay outs. This is all good and dandy, but does Dick Parsons and company owe a little thank you to corporate thug Carl Icahn? He did attempt to shake things up at the media giant even selecting the man who would take Dick's spot if he was successful in a takeover. In the end though, Icahn and Parsons came to some closed door deal, and not long after that the company started to initiate some of Icahn's earlier suggestions. Wonder what Time Warner heir Jeff Bewkes took home to Peggy? TW CHIEF DESERVES $22.5M PAYDAY [NYP]
