Dodd is a Dem and like Jefferson he will get a pass.
Now if he were a Republican he’d be hounded out by the press and his peers.

Dodd Must Clear Air Over Deals:

In his best Nixonian voice: "I am NOT a crook!" "Don't worry floks it's all part of the show."

Can someone point me to the story where our side called for an independent investigation and for Dodd to step down from his chairmanship, I missed that one.

It looks like the play is..

B of A buys a troubled Countrywide for a song, the Congress bails out Countrywide, raising its worth back to pre-trouble levels, and B of A makes a killing.

Oh, B of A execs have ‘contributed’ $70k to Dodd.

Think that about covers it.

He’s as DIRTY as they come...a TYPICAL DEMOCRAT, and NOTHING will happen to him because he is a Democrat!

Nothing will happen. All you need to know is that Dodd is a democrat. Democrats get away with all sorts of crimes. Outrage and investigations are reserved for Republicans.

Dodd should simply confess and turn himself in to the authorities.

“Dodd Must Clear Air Over Deals”
Why? What would happen if he does exactly what William Jefferson DEMOCRAT of Louisiana has done?
Answer nothing.
Being a democrat means never having to apologize or explain your actions. Hey if dodd wanted to be accountable he would have become a Republican. Remember this is the guy who was the other slice to teddie’s in that under the table waitress sandwich. “Clear air?” My ash!

wasn’t his dad, Tom censured for corruption? I seem to recall him hiding in the cloak room whilst his colleagues censured him...

maybe it’s true about how far the apple falls

"Outrageous," he thundered...

"Outrageous," in Dodd's mind, that a newspaper even mentioned it.

This would be the story of the year if Dodd was a Republican.

Shame on the MSM, the New York Times, and the Washington Post for downplaying this story.

Dodd's big defense - - and casual warning to those who might do future favors for him - - is to make sure that he's ignorant of the favors being done. What a joke.

Well Dodd, I can't get your deal - and no other American citizen can get your deal either. Well, unless they're on the take.

You knew it. Your innocent virgin bit is more offensive than padding your pocket on our dime. You've been around the block a few times Dodd. Don't try to play innocent - it makes you look like a fool.

And faked ignorance is not a defense either.

You know, nothing is going to change in the senate or the house until we the people descend on it with torches, pitchforks and plenty of rope.

Dodd has been on the Senate floor half the day, he is rattling on right now and it is 9:47 P.M. there. He is trying the CYA move, or wants to get a lot in before they check his freezer.

He must be guilty. I want him investigated. Will call Harry's office tomorrow to suggest it.

I know he misses The Swimmer, the other half of the sandwich.
