   1993 or 2003. The headline and the story is a little different. 2003 is plenty bad enough for the POS Senator that used to party with the Massachusetts DWI Killer and grope minimum wage waitresses as DC bars and restaurants…

   Doesn’t surprise me at all. The same with former Sen. Sam Nunn who co-authored a bill which at the federal level deregulated commodities trading so such wonderful investments like “credit default” futures were traded will-nilly along with collateralized debt securities (CDOs).

   These types of investments were able to slip through S&P and Moody’s bond rating service and other financial checkpoints in the economy and end up inside “safer” investments without people being aware of what they really were and their potential default implications with investment portfolios (it takes someone with a math degree to handle credit default swap futures type of derivative investment, something for which Moody’s admits to)–hence the current credit crisis.

   Dear Dodd, you were a VIP person, but you didn’t get a discount rate? My little gray cells are going nuts on this one. Now, surprise, I do not believe you, how’s that?

    Oh, and looks like Dodd is telling 2 stories and gaming the media

    Sen. Chris Dodd had two news conferences today — one over the phone with members of the Connecticut media and one in-person with DC media in the Capitol. His story to the Connecticut reporters was missing a significant point that emerged in the Capitol: He knew he was put in a VIP program, even if he said he didn’t think it was because of his Senate position.

    So, for in-state reporters, he left out the important point and admission that there was such a program, and he was a part of it, though he said it earned him no benefit. Dodd said he thought it was a “courtesy” for longtime customers of Countrywide.

    he knew he was a VIP.

    This, in itself, is an admonition that he considers himself “important.” Let him conitnue to hide, and obfuscate. We will be able to address him as Senator Dodge;

    Duke of Denial,

    Knight Order of the Belt(way),

    or let him add HRH to his appellation.

    He will still be allowed to surround himself with his Court Jesters, just like any other Royal.

    Of course, his fellow members of the Senate will protect him, for as goes that Senator, so goes the others. Let’s see if Congress’ approval rating can dip below 10.

    I propose that an impartial panel, with full investigative powers, be appointed by the President, to look into all the private dealings of these elected officials. We can call it The Presidential Oversight Panel on Congressional Hypocracy and Lawlessness. Let’s see how they like it for a “change.”

    As a Ct resident, I hope this exposure unravels his career. Dodd has never done a honest day’s work his entire life. He’s been living like a prince on someone else’s dime his entire, drunken, woman chasing, worthless life.

    Maybe we need to start having members of Congress/Senate fill out weekly questionnaires where we ask them if they have done anything we feel may “taint” their exemplary records. They would be completely anonymous - no name needed - then they could drop them all in a basket.

    After such, someone would read them all over the weekend and then on the following Monday address the House/Senate regarding all of the less-than-appropriate actions noted in their review. It would go like this: “The three of you that took sweet-heart loans from Countrywide Financial (as VIPs)…you better fix that now….you know who you are.”

    If they want to act like children and shun their charge for personal responsibility then surely we can treat them like children, yes?

    Now Congress has something worthy of a public congressional investigation. I have never thought it important for Congress to see what Roger Clemens may or may not have injected into his butt nor do I think it is the task of the Congress to investigate the New England Patriots. But I do think it worthy if some valiant Senator or Congressman calls for public hearings on the conduct of those in power taking favors from those they regulate. That would be a worthy use of our tax dollars.

    let me get this straight, he’s on the banking committee and he doesn’t know he is locking in a rate that lower, way lower, than the national average? Riiiigggt.

    So since countrywide holds my mortgage, does that mean I got to pay a higher rate so the “VIP’s” could pay a lower one?

    Is this what Obama means when he talks about rich getting richer? I thought the dems were going to work for income equality….sounds like those rich folks getting rich again.

    Dodd is a moron. He should have to pay every dime back, fork over his pension, the whole 9, until its paid back. Let them go after him as hard as they go after normal people.
