Dick Morris has a column pointing out that Democratic Senator Chris Dodd played a pivotal role in the Enron mess. In 1995, Dodd rammed through legislation, even over Clinton's veto, to protect firms like Enron from lawsuits against lawyers and accountants for aiding and abetting corporate fraud. From 1993-1997, Dodd received $345,903 from a grateful accounting industry. When the SEC tried to bar the practice of having auditing firms also do consulting work, Dodd intervened, and the SEC agreed not to issue a ban. Hang on, though, for politicians like Dodd, there is no shame. Now, he has introduced legislation banning firms from performing both auditing and consulting chores for the same company.

By the way Dodd has a lot of dirt from way back but I must go feed the dog and cats.
Dodd is a weasel, not to put down the fine little weasels of the world.
Dodd was up to his ass in the Chinese money scandel during the toon money mess. He was co-party chair. I think it was Dodd and kennedy that held a fund raiser for John Wong sp and kept some contrbutions for themselvs. They are both crooked bastards.
