Senator Dodd Running Scared…Sicks Party On His Challenger Over Youtube Video’s

The proven liar, Senator Chris Dodd, who is in a tough reelection race, has the gall to sick his Democrat's after his challenger about some kind of supposed help from the WWE: (h/t Doug Ross)

Asserting that World Wrestling Entertainment has made illegal in-kind campaign contributions to the U.S. Senate campaign of its former CEO Linda McMahon, state Democratic party Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.

DiNardo says WWE staffers ordered YouTube to remove sexually-provocative WWE videos from its website after those videos became campaign fodder.

The videos, which depict simulated rape and necrophilia, were the subject of an Oct. 16 press release from state Democrats. Almost immediately after the political news website Talking Points Memo and other blogs published items about the videos, they were removed from YouTube.

"In sum, WWE has selectively enforced its rights only insofar as they benefit Ms. McMahon's candidacy,'' DiNardo's complaint states. "The facts demonstrate that WWE made expenditures in connection with an election, in clear violation of FECA. WWE expended its corporate resources - including the time of Zimmerman and other corporate personnel, and its attorneys - all used in the service of Ms. McMahon's campaign to force YouTube to remove only the videos that reflected poorly on Ms. McMahon, while ignoring the multitude of other WWE-owned material still hosted on YouTube."

This coming from the man who out right lied on CNN about the help he gave to insurance giant AIG:

Senate Banking committee Chairman Christopher Dodd told CNN’s Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer Wednesday that he was responsible for adding the bonus loophole into the stimulus package that permitted AIG and other companies that received bailout funds to pay bonuses.

On Tuesday, Dodd denied to CNN that he had anything to do with the adding of that provision.

And the same man who helped a criminal out in exchange for some reduced real-estate:

And ‘sick’ = ‘sic’

As long as everyone else is chiming in. . . why do so many people make plurals with apostrophes these days? Do they no longer teach how to make plurals in school? I'm seriously curious.

The English in this is atrocious. “Sick” is what the radical liberalism of the current administration is. “Sic” is what happens when you urge another party (usually a dog) to intervene on your behalf.
