Senator Dodd - Prison Bound?

Hello Rocky,

I'm feeling way too mellow right now.  Can you give me a reason to be angry?

Rocky Responds:

Sure.  Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut. 



The pompous dunderbutt just crafted a bill to provide $300 billion in taxpayer loan guarantees to Countrywide Financial Corp. and others.  While this was going on it was revealed that Dodd was on the "Friends of Angelo" list, refering to Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo, and Dodd, along with Senator Kent Conrad, received Countrywide mortgages at below market rates that saved them each thousands of dollars a year. 

The pathetic thing about Senator Dodd is the way he was blasting Countrywide in public for contributing to the real estate crisis.  The HelloRocky Team hasn't seen such two-faced behavior since we last watched Casablanca:

The money those senators saved should count as gifts that exceed Senate Ethics rules.  Beyond that, accepting those special rates while average Americans struggle to keep their homes violates the rules of decent human behavior. 

What should really make you angry is that, while Senators Dodd and Conrad should either resign or be expelled from the Senate, and jail time should loom as a serious possibility for both men, nobody in Washington (except for these loons) wants to make an issue out of this.  The stench runs so deep through both parties that they just want this issue to go away.
