[...] Mortgages, then the “cottage” in Ireland, the association with a convicted felon, the AIG bonus “lie”, and finally word that his wife once collected a paycheck from an AIG company. No wonder Senator [...]

I'm positive this is all related to money. Dodd was getting financial contributions from AIG during 2008, according to ABC news :

"Here's the list of top AIG recipients for the 2008 campaign:

1. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., $103,100

2. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., $101,332 "

Dodd was probably hedging his bets on whether or not this would come out, hoping for future support. Were he and Obams "shocked" to receive such contributions, and will they return them? See next week's episode of "How to Scam and Weasle," brought to you by both houses of Congress and with special guest appearances from the White House.

Surely, our founding fathers (State and/or Federal) provided a mechanism for the citizens to remove a scoundrel from office. Well folks, we have a genuine scoundrel in Senator Dodd. How do we, the citizens of the state of Connecticut, remove him from office? Where do we start? I'm not willing to endure another two years of "damage" awaiting the 2010 election cycle. Let's move to rid ourselves of him, and his ilk, now!

The Floater just pulled a Kerry. It's a simple campaign talking point.

He merely said that he did not put in the AIG bonus clause after he first said that he didn't.

Lighten up folks, he was a victim here. This is a career resume enhancer.

So, Democrats like Dodd, Reid, and Pelosi have been lying to registered voters for a long time. Will it make a difference? Will we see a conservative revolution in Congress like we saw in 1996? Will Dodd run again or move to a position with a lobbyist?

I guess he had no way out, nobody to blame. But it seemed like such a good idea at the time, LOL! Now he can explain why he, as chairmen of the Senate Banking committee, is taking money from AIG, and Countrywide etc., etc.

A U-turn like that should have given him whiplash, at minimum….

Dodd lied?! Betrayed us?!?!

I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED I say! What next, will he tell us that his housing purchases were questionable. My goodness, who would have believed it…
