Your editor was fiddling with his phone outside Madison Square Garden on his way to see a depressing Georgetown basket-ball loss last night when he came across a confused, aimless, voter-hated Chris Dodd. Dodd appeared to be holding some kind of large purse and asked a police officer for directions. After looking around a few [...]
Stop cyberbullying Chris Dodd, Twitter. [Malkin]
As a stunned America begins to prepare itself for an Arlen Specter-free future, we all must ask ourselves: What killed Arlen Specter? Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell knows! “‘The rain killed Arlen,’ Mr. Rendell said dejectedly. ‘Whatever chance he had went down with the rain.’” It is a well-known fact that old people shouldn’t go out [...]
Let’s start calling developments in the Senate “anti-news,” right? In fact someone should just write the history of every future legislative proposal now, and patent it: “A proposal by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker to limit bank’s proprietary trading will be either be dropped or significantly modified in the Senate, lawmakers and staffers told [...]
Well, it’s “new” and “terrible” at least, which is why one should assume America’s beloved Democrats will run with it: “A top Senate Democrat on Friday suggested lawmakers ‘take a breather for a month, six weeks’ from healthcare reform. Sen. Chris Dodd (Conn.) told reporters the much-needed break would allow lawmakers to focus on other [...]
The people of Connecticut and America hate Chris Dodd so much, for his twin Scandals of (a) locking into a fixed mortgage rate at .25% lower than the average and (b) taking it upon himself to insert into the stimulus package strict executive compensation rules, which the White House ordered him to dilute for the [...]
Linda McMahon, who runs a friendly wrestling company out of Connecticut with her husband, Vince, will run as a Republican for Chris Dodd’s Senate seat in 2010. Whatever. Here she is in a wrestling video getting struck with a move called, “The Standing-69 Gone Wrong.” [MoJo]
Tonight is Big Health Care Speech Night. History’s least cohesive gang, the Gang of Six, has until 10 am this morning to come up with ways to improve the bill and then it will be SET IN STONE until it is killed completely. [Washington Post] Yesterday the value of America’s currency, the dollar, hit a [...]
We will tread lightly here, lest we fall beneath the Malignant Eye of Denby, but: Christopher Dodd has early stage prostate cancer. The good news: if you had to have your pick of cancers, “early stage prostate” would probably be right up there on the list, as it is highly treatable and pretty much every [...]
Really, this rigmarole about Chris Dodd being the lyingest liar of liars who is responsible for the AIG bonuses because he took money from their contributors before the company broke down is… weak. Trite even!
THESE GODDAMN PEOPLE: Chris Dodd admits to writing the bonus loophole that allowed AIG to give out all of these bonuses, but uhhh the Treasury made him do it, which he wouldn’t have done otherwise, but hey it still happened. OPEN THREAD. [Huffington Post]
In a calculated move designed to insult America, Senator Chris Dodd has signed a book deal. His book will be out in June. Not that he’s actually penning a single word of it — it is “By Sen. Christopher J. Dodd with [random writing slave]” — but c’mon Dodd, save the heroic legislative deal-cutting memoir [...]
So has any candidate from either party come away from this presidential election with more than Ron Paul? Many dumb failures from Congress run every four years and then, after losing terribly, slink back to whichever invisible subcommittee it is that lets them hold the #3 ranking based on seniority, sure.
