Dodd hasn’t told the truth about his “cottage” in Ireland, or his preferential mortgages in the USA. His father was drummed out of politics, and now let us hope it is the son’s turn.

Dodd Admits Having Known Of AIG Bonus Loophole

By CHRISTOPHER KEATING | Capitol Bureau Chief
6:00 PM EDT, March 18, 2009

In an apparent change of his position, U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd said Wednesday that he was aware of changes in legislation for a loophole that allowed highly controversial bonuses for AIG, the embattled insurance company that has received federal bailout money.

In a live interview on CNN, Dodd said, “I agreed to a modification in the legislation, reluctantly.’’

Previously, Dodd had said he was not a member of the conference committee that crafted the final version of the highly complicated bill. But he had come under strong fire from Republicans and others as the person who was involved in what CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer had called a “mysterious loophole’’ in the legislation.

When Blitzer asked Dodd what had changed in his understanding between Tuesday and Wednesday, Dodd replied, “Going back and reviewing it. ... I apologize if we had some confusion.’’
