With each day Senator Chris Dodd's hold on the Senate seat he has held for almost 30 years grows more tenuous. As the Chair of the Senate Banking committee he deserves a share of of the blame for the economic mess we are in now, and on top of that there are the recent scandals in which he has been involved....

...This week may have been the straw the broke the camels back as he first denied and then admitted to the fact that he placed the clause in the stimulus bill allowing the AIG bonuses. Today Rick Green, Columnist for the Hartford Courant, called on Dodd to announce that he will not run for a sixth term:

All well and good, but what will replace him? Something as vile and in our face as Schumer or Frank carrying the water for one of the leftist factions that doesn’t have a major player to be their puppet?

Does anyone believe he would do the right thing by stepping down or not running again?

Although Dodd has undoubtedly stolen enough to live the high life for the rest of his days, the arrogance, self-importance and dread of no available cameras will guarantee he runs for another 6 years of misrepresentation, distortion, theft, lies and destruction.

And if you read the column in the Hartford Courant, it never mentions that Dodd and 0bama both got over $100,000 from AIG.

And the public should be reminded of these two having AIG on their faces.

They obviously have someone in mind as a replacement or they would not print this.

Ya think it might be a GOP conservative?

Time’s up!

Nope.

Dodd is being thrown under the bus by Obama and the Lib media to protect Obama.

Yes, he is a corrupt moron, but he dared to oppose Obama, and made some of the most damning quotes against him during the campaign.

This is both revenge for Obama’s hurt Ego, and political cover for Obama.
