Guess who runs the Motion Picture Association of America in the Weinstein era
The American Thinker ^ | 10-20-17 | James V. DeLong

Posted on 10/20/2017 8:22:17 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

It seems as though everyone and his publicist is commenting on Harvey Weinstein and the Hollywood sex culture, but there is an interesting exception: the Motion Picture Association of America.  The scandal is not noted on its blog, nor in its news section, nor in its press releases, nor in the recent speeches by its chairman extolling the First Amendment and the institution of copyright.

One would normally expect a major trade association to be active on such a big issue, but the explanation for the silence seems pretty easy.  The MPAA chairman (until the end of this year, which is five months before his current contract expires) is former senator Chris Dodd, well known during his Senate career as a pal of Teddy Kennedy in his hard-partying days – one of "two guys in a fraternity who have been loosed upon the world."  

Dodd, for example, was one slice of bread in the notorious "waitress sandwich" reported by many and documented by respected journalist Michael Kelly.   When Dodd did attend to his legislative duties, he helped create the subprime lending financial crisis and then produced the monster Dodd-Frank, proudly stultifying the American financial system since 2010 while enriching the big financial players who are so generous to the political classes.

I thought we were done with Dodd. Apparently not.

These people are the pigs in Animal House. It’s not playing out exactly as the author imagined it, but it’s surprisingly close.

The Pervert Left will always find a position of reward for a loyal fellow Pervert.

Or create one, if necessary.

Sen Chris Dodd authored HAVA-Help America Vote Act, which gives FREE money to Republican Election Officials like Secretaries of State ... if they will only hire Friends-Of-Dodd to supply the voter registration and election hardware and software designed to reflect Dodd’s “democratic values”.

FREE money. What could possibly go wrong.

Dodd, along with that lisping, bitchy former Congressman Barney Frank, are lead malefactors among those who caused the financial meltdown of 2008.

Dodd brought up here on FR 8 days ago, and again here a week ago. Good to see some in the media catching up.
