Tom Scott conducted the interview. WELI killed it. Now you can hear it.
Scott, one of Connecticut’s leading conservative voices of the past three decades, was the last local on-air voice at WELI-AM...
Scott hosted a weekday 5 to 7 p.m. drive-time talk show until Oct. 29. That was the day he taped a combative interview with U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut ...
The interview focused on two controversies that have dogged Dodd recently:
He received personal “VIP” loans from Countrywide Financial, a predatory lender he was supposed to be regulating as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.
And he helped craft a $700 billion Wall Street bailout bill designed to spur new small-business and homeowner lending — but which turns out to be designed instead to enable banks to buy other banks

Half of the Teddy and waitress sandwich
And Chris Dodd ALWAYS knows which side he’s buttered on...
Gee, like this one....
Senator Hides His Sweet Deals When Will He Release Records?
That's from September. Has Dodd released those records yet?
Chris “Countrywide” Dodd.
Math police here. He was actually 1/3 of the sandwich. (You forgot the waitress.)
Dem voter: "It was deregulation that caused the financial crisis."
As Mark Levin would say: "Get out of here, you dummy!"
When is the court date for Dodd for stealing all that Fanny May money?
So, that’s what happened to Tom Scott. It was pretty obvious that something happened. I love Tom. My wife knows his mother and he was part of the demonstration we had against Lieberman in 1999 in front of Lieberman’s house.
Censorship from the free speech loving left?? Why how shocking. Unfortunately, we’d better get used to it. It’ll just get worse...all for the “greater good” you understand!

==========================================
Too bad for Doddsy mortgages leave detailed paper trails. Dodd's making the same mistake as his ousted crooked Cong father----thinking he's dealing with a bunch of amateurs----well, maybe Conn liberals (snicker).
Now, it's likely that Dodd is on his hands and knees pleading with Obama to call off the Feds. That's why we need to take other routes to see that justice is done.
For example----Dodd (and his wife and family) are probably enrolled in high-roller comp programs at Conn casinos (and/or in other gambling venues). These programs show every nickel high rollers bet---including wins on which high rollers may not have paid taxes.
Casinos are very tightly regulated. They are more than happy to cooperate with authorities---to protect their licenses.
Casinos would also have records on the amount of untraceable casino chips Dodd (his wife and his family) received-----maybe gifts from his pal Angelo.
Authorities should also inquire if Dodd wire-transferred--- or if Angelo wire-transferred---monies into Dodd's casino account........and if taxes were paid on these monies.

Another possibility: Dodd, his family, and Angelo, may have used NETeller Plc to illegally convert monies that were then transferred offhore---to overseas gambling companies, for their personal use later.
NETeller is an Isle of Man-based payment processor for gambling Web sites (suspected of having operations in the US Virgin Islands---a notorious money-laundering bank haven).
As a member and later chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Sen. shoulders a good deal of the blame for the collapse of the national housing market, the subprime-mortgage-market meltdown and the convulsions on Wall Street.
Reams of legislation Dodd has written or advocated affecting the housing, lending, insurance and securities industries have drained hundreds of billions out of the economy, ballooned the federal debt, cost tens of thousands of people their jobs and driven hundreds of thousands of homeowners into foreclosure, bankruptcy or both.
For his efforts, Sen. Dodd has been rewarded in the 2008 election cycle alone with $7.65 million in campaign contributions (he took in $11.7 million in all) from the securities, insurance, real-estate and commercial-banking industries. With $165,400, Sen. Dodd also tops the list of members of Congress who took campaign cash from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since 1989. Sen. Barack Obama, the self-styled agent of change, is a distant second at $126,000....

I didn’t listen to the show too often but it was good to hear Tom back on the radio. He seemed to work well with the more libertarian co host Ryan. I wondered why he suddenly disappeared from the show. There is little enough local news programming in the New Haven area. Dumping one of the best hosts was not a good idea.
Considering the relative size of the three components, I would be willing to bet that Teddy and Dodd together were way more than 2/3 of the sandwich.
That was a fun day!
Tom Scott Connecticut ping.
I guess democrats never have to release anything...
Tom Scott’s my boy..known him for 30 years...hometown Milford Ct. He was a Reagan Republican state senator. When he ran for Congress in the 3rd district, he came within the margin of dead democrats voting and gave Rosa Delauro her closest race. He kind of went Perot when he ran for governor before leaving politics.
I listened to his show and was an auto guest, Paul from Milford. I could tell his side kicked irritated him. Clear Channel should give him back the 5-7 slot and kick off the jerk.
