Sense on Cents

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT)

Chris Dodd is the embodiment of what is wrong with American politics.

Why?

The incestuous relationship between Wall Street and Washington took time and willing participants. Career politicians willing to sell their soul at the expense of the American taxpayer are critical for this incest to truly develop. Enter Chris Dodd.

Who was one of Freddie and Fannie’s big money recipients? Chris Dodd.

Who received a sweetheart mortgage deal from Countrywide’s Angelo Mozilo? Chris Dodd.

Who received huge campaign dough from the Wall Street mob? Chris Dodd.

Now that Dodd’s flow of money from his incestuous  partners at Freddie, Fannie, and other large financial outlets has stopped, he knows the gig is up. As the residents of Connecticut were preparing to fire him, he now pulls the classic, “You can’t fire me because I just quit.” No surprise. Quitters never win.

America may have been forced to bail out Wall Street, but they certainly have no interest in bailing out Chris Dodd.

Dodd will stand in front of the microphone, shed a tear or two, talk about his lifelong efforts of working for the people of Connecticut and America. He will have his fellow career politicians and partners in incest sing his praises. America will collectively vomit. (more…)
