Some of you who live outside the Nutmeg State may be wondering where you heard Blumenthal's name before. On May 30, 2009, Blumenthal was on Glenn Beck where he was ripped for flauting the law when he went after AIG bonuses. Beck said: "You are an insult to George Washington, sir. Washington made it very clear that we are a respecter of laws, not of men. For your own political gain, you decided to go after the AIG people because it is a popular thing."

Howzaboutdat? A Senator wannabe who is a political opportunist with no regard for the law.........the "perfect successor" to Chris Dodd.

THE CROWN PRINCE - THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIFE OF DICK BLUMENTHAL
Hartford Courant, Sunday, Oct 3, 2004

EXCERPT It requires a good bit of effort to find out how much the Blumenthal's paid for it or, for that matter, what it even looks like. Search the land records in Greenwich Town Hall and you won’t find the Blumenthal name anywhere. >{? The 5,608-square-foot house, with a market value of $2.5 million in 2001, was transferred for $1 and ``other considerations’’ to the ``John and Abigail Trust,’’ named by his wife, Blumenthal said, after the second president and his wife. ``[Cynthia] didn’t want it to be reported that the attorney general bought a house on such and such a street,’’ Blumenthal said, adding that they own their home.

Given Blumenthal’s financial disclosure statement, it would be implausible that they wouldn’t. The statement lists 13 trust funds held in either his wife’s or children’s names, and one blind trust held jointly by him and his wife.

Cynthia Blumenthal is the daughter of Peter Malkin, a Greenwich real estate mogul who heads the investor group that, according to a 2002 disclosure owns other Manhattan properties. Mrs Blumenthal and her children owned partnership interests in 30 real estate ventures, including the Empire State Building, ......that lit up red for Communist China.
