evidently it is a good idea for Dodd to show whether he was bought off after he gets the feds to bail out his friends at Countrywide. Is his picture in Webster next to the definition of "arrogant" ?

Ultimately, Dodd said, "There ain't much to the story."
"Oh Gee Wiz," JESSE A. HAMILTON says, " I guess that's the end of the story"
Another great job of investigative reporting, I hope you didn't offend Dodd by asking!

He used his elected position for personal gain. To me that is corruption and he should be at least censured (like is his Dad was). The benefits that the Dodds will be getting on these mortgages over the lift of the mortgages far exceed the value of Rowland's hot tub, kitchen cabinets, paved driveway ...etc.

The matter deserves the same scrutiny.

Looks like Chris will need to add the FBI to the list of people who want to see his loan documents
http://www.courant.com/business/hc-subprimein...

LOS ANGELES —- A federal grand jury is investigating mortgage lenders Countrywide Financial Corp., New Century Financial Corp. and IndyMac Bancorp Inc., a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Thursday

The Times also said investigators also have begun looking at whether Countrywide and its former chairman, Angelo Mozilo, gave mortgage breaks to influential friends, including members of Congress.

Laura Eimiller, the FBI's spokeswoman in Los Angeles, said she could neither confirm nor deny an investigation.

Mr. Dudd sounds like a little kid who won't eat his peas until he gets a candy bar.

He needs to go now.

Nice. Deregulate the banking industry for your friends and the hogs on Wall Street, watch them gut the nation's economy and destroy the value of the American dollar worldwide, grab a little sweetness for yourself, then bail them out under the guise of helping the little guy who should have known better.

Sweet. I can't wait to vote for this human trash in the next election!

Why now, because it has been discovered. At first he said he was not aware of the benefit that he received and he is a US Senator. And of course he is on the banking committee. What a coincidence.

Neither Here nor There, but this sentence, can't possibly be accurate:

*Dodd admitted last month that he participated in a VIP program for his home loans from Countrywide Financial Corp., though he said he didn't know the special treatment was related to his Senate position as banking committee chairman.*

since Dodd wasn't the banking committee chairman when the mortgage was approved, he was in the minority.

There must be something embarrassing in it, while probably not illegal. If he was clean he would release it and get it over with and concentrate on passing the bill.

Anyone notice that the "Dodd loan details coming" was in the CT section, if our ex gov. had done that it would be on the front page.

- and just last month Dodd was bragging about sending in an unsolicited copy of his personal financial records and resume' to Barack Hussein Obama's office ....

Seriously, those two deserve each other.

If this guy wasn't from a prominant (althrouhgh crooked) political family, he'd be selling used cars. Which, I guess, is an insult to the used car dealers of America. How slimy can this guy be? The onlt thing Dodd has accomplished in his 30 years in government is that he is truely the streotypical politician who gives all politicians a bad name.
