It was a very busy time in the senator's life, he was in the process of moving from Connecticut to Iowa and really didn't know who Angelo Mozilio, er Monzillo, I mean, Mozne........never mind.

But now that he knows he got special treatment, he's OUTRAGED!!

I have only one thing to say to Chris Dodd and that is what Oliver Cromwell said to the Rump Parliament.

Wait and see when election time rolls around the idiots that keep voting him in will do it again. Connecticut deserves Dodd along with the State Legislature that keeps getting reelected.

Countrywide was buying political influence and Chris Dodd was for sale.

From all of the other things such as the shakedown of financial sector executives to make contributions to his ego-fueled presidential bid, to the pardon for cottage fiasco, to the AIG bonuses to his pals and major contributors at AIG, the Countrywide thing is not an isolated lapse but part of a broader pattern.

You are so right, my brother.

We have met the enemy: it's the idiot next door who keeps voting for the same thieves, liars, and slime.

Unbelieveable...
It just doesn't end with this GUY!
Citibank, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, AIG and Lehman Brothers have been his biggest contributors for the past decade.
He should champion a law barring bozo former senators from becoming high paid lobbyists after they get the BOOT from the senate!
Yeah right......Mr. Entitlement
Senator from Corrupicut.

I always looked at military secrets that showed up in the news and imagined how much more there must be that we don't know about our weaponry, etc.
This VIP treatment stuff is only the part that is showing. Can you imagine how bad it really is?
