---snip--
"I agreed reluctantly," Dodd said. "I was changing the amendment because others were insistent."

This story is now totally different from what the other breaking news item mentioned. Drudge needs to update as well.

I believe Dodd is in a world of hurt. I think heads will fall in the next few days.

BTW-A writer at Huffington had this more important angle of the story hours ago. Sadly when I went to publish I learned FR does not allow it here.

Zero will skate. He always does. We have a real pathological liar in the White House. God help us.

To: Rob the Ugly Dude
You might ask Barry that question, but then he would either not get it or would just lie to you.

But if he didn’t get it, David Axelrod would subsequently ‘splain’ it to him and he would call you back to explain it to you in minute ‘teleprompter cowboy’ style over the phone.

“administration officials were afraid the government would face numerous lawsuits without the new language.”
Law suits. That’s it! They’re scared of law suits by guys from AIG who will go to juries and tell them how innocent they are, please give us millions.
Joke.

You mean you don’t think dodd would win in a “cage match” with 0? I’d kind of like to see “real ugly” between the two of them.

I don’t think he’ll come out unscathed. Geither will be the scapegoat and take the fall, of course, but I think that Obama will take a significant hit in terms of public opinion...assuming the media covers it. Given the circumstances, it should be a major blow to his credibility among anyone with any shred of political objectivity.
