Liberal culture of corruption = just another days work

[Ann Archy]

One has to say “GIVE ME A BRIBE” in order to BE BRIBED??? I don’t think so, Senator DUDD!! He is SLIMY, his father was SLIMY and there should be an INVESTIGATION into this CORRUPTION of Dudd and CON-rad!!

[geo40xyz]

cris dodds == known liar...

[Bernard]

I assume the Dodds had to complete a written application, which would include things like "profession" and "sources of income," So it would be hard to believe that somebody in the office would see "United States Senator" on the application and then be prompted to provide special treatment.

Maybe Senator Dodd listed his occupation as "Waitress Sandwich Maker", which would not carry the same clout. I wonder who is partner is in that business while Ted Kennedy is in the hospital.

"As a United States senator, I would never ask or expect to be treated differently than anyone else refinancing their home," Dodd said, "This suggestion is outrageous and contrary to my entire career in public service."

But you WERE treated differently. If you didn't even realize that, then you're too stupid to even be a Senator. (But we already knew that.)

"As a United States senator, I would never ask or expect to be treated differently than anyone else refinancing their home," Dodd said, "This suggestion is outrageous and contrary to my entire career in public service."

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Your "public service" has been a scam from the start.

[toddlintown]

“It’s unclear whether Dodd was made aware of any special treatment.”

Even a moron would know that 4.25 to 4.50% was better than the market rate, let alone some senator sitting on a committee.

[Drango]

Sure. The head of the banking committee didn’t know what the market rate for a mortgage was.

Senator Dodd: "I request no preferential treatment!"

[not2worry]

Let’s have a congressional investigation which these clowns are so fond of having for Republicans at the drop of a hat.....oh,I forgot he gets a “Pass Go” card just like Sandy Burger!

I’m sick of the preferential treatment the Democrats are given regardless of what crime they have committed.

I guess this is all Bush’s fault!

[clintonh8r]

Chris is a crook but the majority of CT voters are studpid. He just takes what they allow him to.

[Brilliant]

If he requested no special treatment, then why did he get it, and how come he did not turn it down?

[vietvet67]

Dodd had the obligation before accepting of making sure this loan was not in any way preferental or even had the appearance of being so.

To say he did not ask for this treatment will not fly..

[Peet]

Chris Dodd?

What is his relationship, if any, to the traitor Thomas J. Dodd, D. Conn responsible for GCA 1968?

"Senator Thomas J. Dodd, now deceased, personally owned a copy of the original German text of the Nazi Weapons Law."

Someday I'll tell ya' how I really feel.

[RobinOfKingston]

Sen. Christopher Dodd says ... that he requested no preferential treatment from his lender.

The senator really didn't need to ask, now did he??!!

[mewzilla]

According to Jim Pinkerton on FNC this morning, there are more names out there. This ain’t going away.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

No special treatment, right-tee-oh, senator!

[mo]

I.WANT.TO.KNOW.WHY.He remains Chair of the Senate BANKING COMMITTEE?!!!!!

[The Great RJ]

This sound a lot like the House Banking scandal where members of Congress kited no funds checks, got sweet heart loans and other special services. In this case such “special” loans by outside groups smack of influence peddling or outright bribery.
