The interview focused on two controversies that have dogged Dodd recently...

Gee, like this one....

Senator Hides His Sweet Deals When Will He Release Records?

That's from September. Has Dodd released those records yet?

Leftward bias in the media? Say it isn't so!

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!

For nearly a year and a half, Countrywide failed (or declined) to secure its interest in Dodd's home by taking the ordinary and essential step of presenting the documents to the local town clerk and recording them in the land records.

==========================================

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).

Since June, Sen Dodd has faced an ethics inquiry over allegations that he received preferential treatment on two mortgages in 2003 from major lender, Countrywide Financial. And then came the dramatic financial meltdown last month, placing Dodd at the center of a controversial $700 billion financial rescue plan.

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....

SEN DODD'S CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS
Citigroup, $310,294;
SAC Capital Partners, $282,000;
United Technologies, $263,400;
AIG, $224,678;
Bear Stearns, $205,600;
St. Paul Travelers, $205,400;
Royal Bank of Scotland, $203,750;
Goldman Sachs, $175,600;
Morgan Stanley, $155,000;
Credit Suisse, $154,550;
Merrill Lynch, $134,950;
The Hartford, $94,350;
Bank of America, $91,300;
JPMorgan Chase, $129,150;
USB, $101,900;
Hartford Finance Services, $101,500
Lehman Brothers, $128,400;
KPMG, $113,100;
General Electric, $108,250;
Deloitte Touche, $108,000

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.

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.
