Chris Dodd confesses: Yes, I slipped in the AIG bonus protection…’cuz Treasury made me

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 18, 2009 06:08 PM

Fall, fall on your sword, ye Purveyor of Hypocritical Indignation.

Via CNN, unscrupulous borrower and No. 1 AIG benefactor Chris Dodd admits that yes, yes, he did support AIG bonus protections before he was against them:

Senate Banking committee Chairman Christopher Dodd told CNN’s Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer Wednesday that he was responsible for adding the bonus loophole into the stimulus package that permitted AIG and other companies that received bailout funds to pay bonuses.

On Tuesday, Dodd denied to CNN that he had anything to do with the adding of that provision.

CNN isn’t the only one he made the false claim to, according to a reader who phoned his office yesterday. Wendy N. e-mailed:

Dear Michelle: I’ve just recently discovered your web page, and I LOVE IT! It’s a great source of information. Speaking of which, after reading “Chris Dodd: For AIG bonuses before he was against them,” I decided to phone Chris Dodd’s office. Apparently, they’re calling Rich Edson and David Freddeso liars, as the person on the phone insisted that Chris Dodd added an amendment that would NOT allow bonuses to be paid with TARP funds, and that “somebody else” in committee added the exemption, NOT Senator Dodd. Go figure?!

Thanks again,
Wendy N.

Chris Dodd: Lying crapweasel, bailout lackey, winner of Kabuki Theater of AIG outrage lifetime achievement award.

Dodd points fingers at Treasury.

Via Allahpundit: It’s the timing, Tiny Tim.

Ed Morrissey adds a delicious Dodd transcript. Er, um, er, um.

    Had he been a Republican, the cries for his resignation would be loud…deafening. It would result in said Republican resigning his office because the Caucus would force him out.

    Not Dodd. Not the Democrats. No, no, no. Will he resign? Nope. He will continue to sit his fat butt on the Senate and continue to spread the blame. As you can see, it wasn’t his fault. Apparently, the Treasury Department was holding a gun to his head the whole time.

    If they were Republicans, both would be gone next week, but since Demoncrats are allowed to commit crimes and stay in office, I suspect both will be re-elected next year. And for many years to come.

    Just saw Dodds do a classic Pol lie. He stated he did not put in the exact language. Because his language had no dates. Of course since the ‘dates’ acted as a qualifier, that would mean that Dodd’s version was even more generous to bonused employees, although he implied otherwise.

    Busy scouring D.U., Kos and HuffPoo for anything they can use to blame bush and the Republicans for all of this. However, even THEY can see the weak, limp, onion-paper thin transparancy of the lies being told over there, and how everything Der fuhrer touches turns instantly to seagull crap.

    Der Fuhrer’s numbers continue to drop, and those who find him to be a complete and utter failure continues to rise, now to more historic levels. Is this the “History Making Presidency” that O’Donnell, Whoopi, Oprah and all the other cheerleaders for doom promised it would be?

    While everyone was cheering for “change”, did none of them bother to ask just what he and his handlers were planning to change everything to?

    The mere fact that there are a handful of Liberals who are sitting around, giggling with joy and pride that everything is going as good or better than they had planned and even dared to hope is infuriating.

    You can just see Churchill, Ayers and the rest toasting these things over their cheap Thunderbird and CheezWhiz layered Ritz crackers now, joyously singing the praises of Der Fuhrer and his total annihilation of the Free Market, Capitalism and the onset of the new Union of Socialist States of America. And there are still some 60% of voters who are desperately holding on to the “hope” that the Moron in Chief has a plan and it will soon all come together. Man, once reality hits them…it is going to be really, really ugly.

    And this time, you can’t blame the Republicans.

If the contracts are bad, one or both parties are worse off. I would prefer that the owners and contract holders sort out who if any were better off.

    Lastly – something gives here – the CEO sat on the stand and claimed “outrage” at this…but he’s supposedly receiving only $1 per year for his position. What are the terms of his deferred compensation? Certainly there are some. Does anybody know?

    Here’s what struck me in his interview (my bold):

    I can tell you tonight that those efforts were met with a lot of resistance. It isn’t just this administration. There has been a consistency about worried — about whether or not we’d have a brain drain, people would leave. You wouldn’t be able to hire good people to come in. People wouldn’t accept TARP money. A lot of various arguments were made about including this kind of a language.

    I think this proves they’re trying to do something drastic with the economy. The whole rationale behind giving out the TARP $ was that if we didn’t, they would fail. If the companies are truly in need of the $, they would accept our terms. If they refuse to, they would have no other choice but to deal with their failures. But the fact that he’s concerned that they wouldn’t accept it tells me that it isn’t necessary at all.

    Nope. Nobody had to do anything to “permit” the AIG bonuses to go through. They are protected by contract law. Dodd proposed an amendment to stop bonuses, but got an earful because such an amendment meant abrogating contracts, and America just can’t do business without binding contracts. People just aren’t getting it. Dodd was, is, and probably will be against the bonuses. The fact that he didn’t realize, after the bailouts passed, that he was powerless to do anything may be of interest, but he is not the big villain in this case. It’s every member of Congress who voted for the Crap Sandwiches.

    bill’s lie to the people was only about sex, so who cares! criss”s lie to the people is only about money, so who cares! bawney’s lie to the people is only about who blocked banking regulation which collapsed the economy, so who cares! these are democrats, their constituents are too STUPID, to care, and the others are just the chattering classes.

    so i guess i should tune into jon stewart’s gotcha comedy show to see how he skewers frank and dodd. oh wait, that’s right, they are just carrying barry’s water so they get a pass. he has to reserve his vitriolic gotcha with a sneer to people who criticize the dear leader.

    If BHO’s administration is actually to blame then BHO’s claim of not knowing about it until now is:

    A. The result of not giving even himself enough time to read the whole bill cuz.. “We have to avoid a CATASTROPHE!”.
    B. An admission of his abject incompetence.
    C. Yet another outright commie lie.

    Yes, I am a big, fat, blowhard, brain-dead, hypocrit, senator and proud of it because I know that whatever I do, I will get away with it. And, of course, this has nothing to do with that cushy low-interest load I got from Countrywide.

    And let’s not forget that Dodd is one of those gifted beings who basically INHERITED a Senate seat from his father. He inherited a few other propensities, as well: In 1967 Dodd’s father was censured by the Senate for putting campaign funds to personal use. In addition to the Ethics Committee’s disciplinary action, the press at that time reported that there was good reason to believe his corruption went significantly further.

    Dodd is pond scum and how he and Elmer (Frank) Fudd continue to stay in office is one of the great wonders of the world.

    Who’s going to prosecute, Holder, yeah right, another big time beneficiary of Fannie and Freddie?
    These two, Dud and Blarney, should be in prison for the rest of their worthless lives after destroying the American economy…at least for their promoting the illegal workings of F & F.

    Has Chris Dodd–head of the SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE, after all—ever admitted to any screw-up over the whole banking mess??? I’ve not heard anyone blame him for anything. And yet he’s head of a committee that overseas such. How come democrats never ask for his head to roll??
