"When I wrote the language there was no such language like that," Dodd told CNN Tuesday.

Ah, so Dodd is either a liar, or incompetent, or both. Got it!

From what I hear the language was changed in committee to allow for the bonuses.

Trouble is, that it was done behind closed doors (wonder if the media will go after them like they did to Cheney when he met behind closed doors with oil executives)

Now people who were in the closed door meeting are accusing each other.

Looking forward to the tough Wolf Blitzer interview on this:

Blitzer: Senator Dodd, how did the AIG exemption get into the stimulus bill?

Senator Dodd: I dunno, bet it was something the Republicans did to embaress me.

Blitzer: There you have the breaking news on CNN, irrefutable statements that it was the Republicans on the Hill that are to blame for the insertion of a clause the exempted AIG from bonus restraint. Tune in as we dig deeper into this new Republican scandal.
