Chris Dodd Gets Caught in New "Funky" Friendship
Hartford Courant/ Yidwithlid ^ | 3/8/09 | Yidwithlid

Posted on 03/08/2009 6:08:47 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

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. If you believe that I have bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

Now we are finding out about a new "funky" friendship in the life of the Connecticut Senator. At the end of a the Clinton presidency secured a presidential pardon for Edward R. Downe, convicted of tax and securities fraud eight years before. No one mentioned at the time that Downe and Dodd were partners in a real estate deal, or that a different partner of Downe's William "Bucky" Kessinger, had was involved in another land deal with Dodd. Of course Dodd hadn't revealed that at the time. I guess he didn't have to, since the true ownership wasn't on the deed. Read more about this troubling relationship below:

The whole world is watching us to see if we go quitely in to that long dark night. Or do we take to task those who seek to enslave us.

History will bear witness if we stood at the hot gate to defend freedom as did the 300.

Perhaps, tar and feathers could be traded in for a rope and a hanging tree. Is that what you had in mind? LOL

Do you remember when the citizens of the Soviet Union had their fill of the communist government and they marched against the government and forced them out of power? Where the good people erred then, was when they didn't hang the old communist leaders, leaving KGB officers like Putin a chance to take over again. We must not make that same mistake!

Looks like Dodd and Rangel come from the same school of thought and personal economics..
