Biden: Dodd is 'getting the living hell beat out of him' Posted: December 11th, 2009 05:17 PM ET
From CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser
Washington (CNN) – Joe Biden praised Sen. Chris Dodd Friday, but conceded his good friend - one of the Senate's most vulnerable Democrats - is "getting the living hell beat of him."
The vice president made his comments at a fundraiser for Dodd Friday in Hartford, Connecticut. Dodd had been scheduled to accompany Biden at the fundraiser and at event earlier in the day to announce nearly $4 million in federal stimulus funding to replace an aging fire station in East Hartford, but stayed in the nation's capital to work on health care reform legislation and other Senate business.
The five-term senator, who's up for re-election next year and fighting for his political life, was replaced by wife Jackie Clegg Dodd.
The vice president heaped compliments on his fellow Democrat, calling him "the single most gifted legislator in Congress, now that Teddy Kennedy's gone."

That says it all. 8-]
I guess I'm a little surly these days.
I’m fairly certain
that’s NOT true.
It’s too big a task . . . too much . . . to beat out of him.
It would take a LOT of years to accomplish that task!
Another reason to get rid of Dodd. He asks the dumbest member of any adminstration to campaing for him.
Sorry, I was imagining it....got lost in my thoughts.

Comment after article.
Hey, Plugs! Has it occurred to you that Dodd is "getting the living hell beat out of him" because he's "the most gifted legislator in Congress" -- a synonym for "the most corrupt legislator in Congress"?
You guys somehow seem to conflate your friggin' duty with corruption...
GIFTED!!! As in GIFTS from ANGELO!! GIFTS from the BANKS and INSURANCE COMPANIES!! They USED to be called BRIBES!
Goober, and his other brother, Goober.
The US has a mental defective as vice president. He seriously has a mental problem. The things that come out of his mouth, and him second in line to be leader of the free world. The mind boggles.
“dumbest member of any adminstration”. I beg to differ with you, but I think algore has a lock on that title.
Joe is just the gift that keeps on giving. Whatta maroon!
Ask him how it feels, chump.
You're next.
Abortion Joe, the gift that keeps on giving.
Just two weeks ago, Plugs said to at a fundraiser, “We may be wrong, but we believe in what we’re doing.”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I dunno. Biden’s been at it longer.
Man, wouldn’t I like to read that Dodd had in fact had his rear end kicked.
I heard O.J. is in a prison hospital due to an ass whoopin, Dodd should be in the bed next to him.
Well then let’s make it a threefer: algore, biden and dodd. Add zero to the bunch and there wouldn’t be enough intelligence to pour piss out of a boot, with a hole in the toe and directions on the heel. And that’s the truth.
