LOL!
I recently read here that running for President is a handy way to launder surplus campaign money to yourself. When you become a candidate for an office you can pay yourself the salary that that office pays. So as long as Dodd is a candidate for President, he can pay himself at a rate of $400,000/year from his own war chest.
When you look back at some of the people who made you scratch your head when they announced their candidacy for President over the years, this information helps explain what was actually going on.
What next, you unrepentant member of the VRWC, a slander against Dodd Senior taking money from the insurance industry? The Dodd family got where it is in Connecticut today because they love the little people, really care about us, and know what's best for all.
Truly one of the oiliest and most odious pieces of garbage belched by the Nutmeg State since his father.
Not to mention all the black votes he'll steal from Obama.
While hoping to get the southern vote by saying "I'm from a slave state".
Connecticut ping!
Please Freepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent Connecticut ping list.
