It was six moths ago when Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd admitted to America that he had the IQ of a slug (either that or he thinks that his constituents were stupid). It had been disclosed that the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee Received TWO VIP Loans from Sub-Prime Lender Countrywide Inc. The Loans were at favorable interest rates.
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE, Chris Dodd, said he didn't realize that VIP treatment meant favorable rates. COME Freaking ON. He is CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE, we were really to believe that he has no Idea of what is a good loan rate and what is a an extra-special loan rate? Dodd says he didn't know to ask.

i have a serious question
why is it that as a private citizen if I stepped up & said I committed this rape or this murder, I’d be arrested & charged on the spot BUT when a Senator Dashel or Dodd steps up & admits their blatant crime nobody shows up?
i wonder does DC employ a District Attorney?

The political class, at least the democRAT part of it, gets to commit any crime it wants with the only punishment being resignation if caught. Average folks don't get to offer their resignations as quid pro quo for not being prosecuted. Instead, they get arrested and as part of the proceedings of trial and punishment, they lose their jobs.
