foxnews ^ | March 12, 2006 | Transcript

Posted on 03/12/2006 5:42:18 PM PST by ncountylee

following is a partial transcript of the March 12, 2006, edition of "FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace":

"FOX NEWS SUNDAY" HOST CHRIS WALLACE: With Republicans fighting amongst themselves, do Democrats have their house in order to take back Congress this fall? We want to talk about that with one of their key leaders, Senator Chris Dodd.

And, Senator, welcome back to "FOX News Sunday".

SEN. CHRIS DODD, D-CONN.: Good to be with you, Chris.

WALLACE: I want to start with something that General John Abizaid, head of U.S. Central Command, said this week about the opposition to the Dubai ports world deal. Here it is.

GEN. JOHN ABIZAID, COMMANDER, U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND: I'm very dismayed by the emotional responses that some people have put on the table here in the United States that really comes down to Arab and Muslim bashing that was totally unnecessary.

WALLACE: Wasn't there a good deal of demagoguery by Republicans and Democrats in opposing this ports deal?

DODD: Not necessarily. This hit a very, very responsive nerve, Chris, in the country. This didn't go away. This issue wasn't going to disappear. Some issues like this do after a few days.

That would be the really fat part Chris.

Just like the Russians under Nikita K used to do with their "new 5 year program", " new and improoved 5 year program" that never got off the ground.

Hah, nice.

I thought it was a decent interview. Some good questions (a lot of political answers).

I'm waiting for someone to ask Dodd if he regrets his vote that cut off funding to the anti-Communist government of Cambodia, which allowed the Khmer Rouge to murder 1.7 million or more Cambodians. Don't you think you owe those 1.7 million people more than an "Ooops!", Mr. Dodd?

I haven't read the entire transcript but a watched most it. What was really amusing was he was highly critical of wartorn Iraq being slow to form a government but dismissive of the Democrats being unable to come up with a positive agenda in a peaceful environment. How hypocritical can one senator be?

In the Summer of 1989 Kennedy and fellow Senator Chris Dodd were having lunch at famous Washington D.C. restaurant La Brasserie. Kennedy requested the attendance of waitress Carla Gaviglio. According to the Washington Times "When she put in an appearance in their private retreat - 'The Teddy Kennedy Fun Room' - the Massachusetts senator picked her up and heaved her onto a table. The crystal candlesticks and champagne glasses shattered as he grabbed her again and flung her on top of Dodd.

"Then Kennedy threw himself on top of the woman. The waitress implored Mr. Kennedy to 'Get off me!'

"Another waitress entered to find 'things all tipped over and Kennedy was on top, [the waitress] was in the middle and Dodd was on the bottom.' At that point the sandwich was disassembled."

It's too bad Carla didn't have the presence-of-mind to grab a knife and 'mark' their eyes several times... (One could wish for a time machine)
