Liar? Liar!

Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), is no stranger to the murky abyss that has become Washington, D.C. Many of you might remember his name being mentioned in an earlier blog. Seems he was ensnared with the whole Fannie Mae debacle and was the #1 reciepeant of campaign contributions from that train wreck. Well Senator Dodd is once again back in the news.

In a dramatic reversal, Senator Dodd., has now confessed to adding language to the stimulus bill last month that exempted all bonuses that bailed-out companies had promised to employees before Feb. 11, 2009.

WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Yes, you heard it here, this alleged representative of the people, added wording that allowed almost 200 million of YOU’RE money to be doled out to those incompetent nit-wits at AIG.

Now, if you are as morally outraged at that as I am, I suggest you sit down, grab a beer, grey goose, jack & coke, or a Costco size bottle of Advil…….. It gets better.

You see, Senator Dodd stated just one day earlier that he didn't add the exemption. He went so far as to state that "When the language went to the conference and came back, there was different language," he then said "I can tell you this much, when my language left the Senate, it did not include it. When it came back, it did."

Wait a minute…………… Tuesday the man says he didn’t write the language, Wednesday he admits he did. Are you people (especially in Connecticut) following me here? This man who was elected to represent the people of this country has admitted to lying to you.

I guess the heat in the AIG Bailout / Bonus Fiasco Kitchen was getting a little too warm.

Want to know the excuse he used? It seems Treasury officials forced him to make the change.

I guess “the dog ate the original draft” seemed too unbelievable.

Senator Dodd tried to explain that "As many know, the administration was, among others, not happy with the language. They wanted some modifications to it," he said. "They came to us, our staff, and asked for changes, and the changes at the time did not seem that obnoxious or onerous."

Just for the record, CONGRESS, which is comprised of the Senate & House of Representatives, is there to SERVE THE PEOPLE. They are the LEGISLATIVE BRANCH while the Administration is the EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

When this pompous buffoon was questioned as to how administration officials have this kind of leverage over members of Congress, Dodd said, "The administration has veto power. ... No one suggested a veto to me, I don't want to imply that to you. But certainly that's not an insignificant tool."

Oh, OK……………. So rather than risk a potential showdown with the agents of the Messiah, erh…... excuse me, The administration, you sold out the people of this country to the tune of almost 200 hundred million dollars and then had the cajones to lie to them about it. Then again, when you are blowing trillions of dollars of our money, what’s a few hundred million, right Chris?

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present you’re government……….. May you remember their lies and deceit come the next Election.
