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.
Nine moths ago it was 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.
Then in February we learned of 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.
And don't forget that the Senator was publicly caught in a lie about adding a provision about protecting AIG bonus' into the stimulus bill.
Right now Chris Dodd's approval rating in Connecticut is lower than that of George Bush's was in Iran. But he is getting help. The Democratic Party establishment in Washington DC, is doing its best to protect the scandal-plagued Senator. They even have an interesting sell, "He's a Crook but he is an insider."

The entire democrat party is a criminal enterprise ... democrats are crooks, so protecting one of their most smelly crooks is just normal in democrat circles. Democrat voters like criminals.
Ditto exactly what you said. Especially the criminal enterprise.
I fantasize about the return of justice and public hangings in America.
As the fantasy goes, I wonder if it should start in DC and be focused on traitors—corrupt politicians.
Okay, I have returned to reality..... a very unjust and country killing reality.
