Dodd sez:

[Stinky The Clown]

.... on Hairballz

Dodd sez 'adminstration didn't like my language' ..... 'we made some changes' ...... sez 'without it we may have lost the bill' ....... then sez 'staff' from Treasury 'came to him' .... won't name names ........


Ah fuckit ..... too hard for me to transcribe since I am a three finger typist ..... who else is hearing this?

[frazzled]

1. It broke on CNN

Unnamed Treasury employee said they talked to committee because they had concerns about being sued on already existing contracts. Dodd admits on camera that he made the change.

It looks bad. Real bad. This should have come out last week.

2. After he said he didn't? Arg. The asshole.

[rocktivity]

4. All we have he had to do is threatened ue them right back

based on nonperformance and point out that a) the money wasn't revenue and b) THEY HADN'T EARNED IT.

3. Sure, I'll trust Dodd. One of the biggest proponents of the repeal

of Glass-Steagal in 1999, one of the biggest recipients of AIG loot, recipient of sweetheart mortgage deals, partial owner of massive Irish mansion with man he got Clinton to pardon.

Yeah, I trust what he says.

9. So ... then Dodd saying this about himself is .... what? Wrong?

He's in league with those who would diss Treasury??

13. read this Feb 15th Think progress report............

UPDATE: Just in case the point wasn't yet crystal clear, here is a Think Progress report from February 15, 2009, reporting on the White House/Dodd dispute over the executive compensation provisions. Is there any doubt which party was the one demanding weaker and narrower executive compensation limits? (hint: it wasn't Dodd):

12. Firedoglake is not an oracle of truth

they are just another blog. I'd rather hear it from the horses mouth, not more speculation and rumor from a blog.

10. When does the right to 'earn & keep as much money as I can' become a form of theft?

Fuck him.
