I believe Dodd is in a world of hurt. I think heads will fall in the next few days.
BTW-A writer at Huffington had this more important angle of the story hours ago. Sadly when I went to publish I learned FR does not allow it here.
I hope he doesn't put a burning tire around my neck when he finds out
So much for the promises of transparency and accountability.
Is everything that comes out of Obama’s mouth a lie?
“administration officials were afraid the government would face numerous lawsuits without the new language.”
Law suits. That’s it! They’re scared of law suits by guys from AIG who will go to juries and tell them how innocent they are, please give us millions.
Joke.
And these people want to manage my health care?!
This pack of liars would be great entertainment if it wasn’t so freakin expensive. That bus must be jacked up on extra large tires to hold everybody that has been thrown under it.
The List, ping
QUID PRO QUO! Put Dodd in jail. Gets the most campaign contributions from AIG of any politician, than changes the bill at the last minute to pay millions to his benefactors.
Rush is going to have a great time with all the sound bites. However I think by tomorrow morning everyone will have their new talking points and marching orders.
“On Tuesday, Dodd denied to CNN that he had anything to do with adding the language, which has been used by officials at bailed-out insurance giant AIG to justify paying millions of dollars in bonuses to executives after receiving federal money.
He said Wednesday that the “grandfather clause” language “seemed like innocent modifications” at the time.
“I agreed reluctantly,” Dodd said. “I was changing the amendment because others were insistent.”
Dodd said he did not speak to high-ranking administration officials and the change came after his staff spoke with staffers from Treasury.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.”

So now Dodd does a 180 from yesterday: Obama made me do it.
I was looking over the CT newspapers and reader comments and they are mad as hell. Looks like a heretofore loyal capo is refusing to fall on his sword.
It should have occurred to me earlier that widespread rebellion was hardly necessary to derail the Obama machine. Just the fracturing of his congressional majority. Too many dem congresscritters are beginning to develop second thoughts about being joined to the Messiah.
Look for more apostles to start denying him.
Part of the problem is that this cock-up is too big, too fast-moving and too confusing for the MSM to sit on or control the story.
Whoa! Telebama isn't going to like this!
let’s hope the GOP get the most mileage out of this....
oh bwwwahahahaahahahhhhahaa
“I agreed reluctantly . . .”
OH BWWWAHAHAHAHAHA HHHHAAHAHAHAHA
This is like watching an episode of “The Keystone Cops”.
At the rate the librats are turning on each other, Comedy Central will need to extend jon stewart’s show into a 24-hour marathon so that he’ll have enough time to deface all those who are starting to urinate on his obama idol.
