Senate Banking committee Chairman Christopher Dodd told CNNs Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer Wednesday that he was responsible for adding the bonus loophole into the stimulus package that permitted AIG and other companies that received bailout funds to pay bonuses.

Well, hell, the Obamassiah isn’t about to take responsibility for the fiasco. He’s never taken responsibility before, he’s not about to start now.
That might be the idea. Normally I would have thought Dodd is as politically bulletproof as they come, that he is dug in so deep in Connecticut there is no getting rid of him but, now I am not so sure. He may be damaged beyond repair.
Sure do wish we see a whole lot more of your ‘copyrighted’ bull horn to arse pic Chode. May the bull run wild these next 4 years!
People in CT won’t require Dodd to take a fall, but they made his father leave in favor of Lowell P. Weicker, Jr., nearly forty years ago. Weicker proved worse than the first Dodd. People in CT don’t understand.
She has spent the whole show so far on AIG and Congress.
Ha! No, I knew you were being sarcastic, but I figured it was a sarcastic sarcasm. You know - - Dodd will be re-elected because Connecticut voters will see how “honest” he is by admitting he lied.
Or something like that. Hey, now I’m confused....
Could this be why Zero is doing Leno on Friday...ie getting out of town?
Does this mean Connecticut has a vacant seat???
“Nice spin but those AIG FP employees were generously compensated while they steered SS AIG straight into the iceberg. That they needed a payoff to stick around and try to mitigate the horrific damage their company caused is nothing short of blackmail. Some of them belong in government issued pinstripes for issuing trillions of dollars of junk paper and collapsing our financial system.”
How do you know that? You don’t, you are simply reacting to what the left wants you to. I know, freedom is bad, it makes greed take over common sense right comrade?
Our financial system has not collapsed, where are you getting your information from? Maybe you should consider the problem was mismanagement by your government, particularly democrats of the regulations. Not so much de-regulation, but stupid regulation encouraging stupid investments. Google Community Revitalization Act for instance, there you see where a lot of the junk paper came from.
Instead of buying into propaganda why don’t you do a little homework and find out the truth? Do you realize those people you would persecute have lessened AIG’s liability by over a TRILLION DOLLARS??? I say double there frigging bonuses for a job well done.
Dodd...take Grassley’s advice...please.
Take your pick...

“We can only hope that the last prominent Democrat is thrown under the bus before our country collapses due to an incompetent regime.”
But that is a very, very long line of idiots....
Going by the other post, they’re throwing each other under the bus... or taking turns. Fun to watch. Hope they both get a good taste of the tire treads.
That’s certainly a problem. One goes to jail, another one gets a senate seat.
