The CT mob with torches and pitchforks just realized the guy leading them was from the Frank'n'Dodd castle.

"Republicans... fingered Dodd as the top recipient of campaign cash from AIG employees over the years.

"The GOP is slamming Dodd, claiming he is cozying up to Wall Street insiders, raking in bundles of their campaign cash, shirking his banking panel duties and running for president as the economic crisis erupted in 2007.

He's also under investigation by a Senate ethics panel for mortgages he got from Countrywide Financial Corp., the big lending company at the center of the mortgage crisis."

The Center for Public Integrity has criticized Dodd for "being the leading advocate in the Senate on behalf of the accounting industry."^[10][11] Political consultant and commentator Dick Morris wrote that Dodd had received more from accounting firm Arthur Andersen than any other Democrat and bore responsibility for trying to shield accounting firms from investor fraud liability in cases such as the Enron scandal.^[12]

This "legacy Senator" ( his father was Senator Thomas Dodd, also from Connecticut ) has been involved in financial shenanigans time and again ( accused of being the shill for the accounting industry -- before Arthur Andersen was pulled down; of getting sweetheart loans from countrywide; of being the biggest recipient of contributions in Congress from the insurance industry,a big Connecticut constituency, etc etc )

He seems to have no compunctions about contradicting himself in public, promising to provide demanded documents and then not doing so, and embarking on a quixotic Presidential run without a shred of support. He's either very stupid or, more likely, thinks the voters of Connecticut are.
