Chris Dodd has 100% disapproval rate...

...in our house, and it seems to me the good folks in Connecticut are coming around to our way of thinking. As he is up for re-election next year, it is important to send a strong message that his type of entitlement politics will not be tolerated. Interestingly, corruption was the downfall of his father also, so you think he would have learned his lesson. Oh, right maybe that is exactly where he learnt his lesson.

The point to remember here is quite simple. If he received preferential treatment in his mortgages, then that is a conflict of interest and he should resign. If, as he claims, he was not aware that he was receiving preferential treatment, then he is an ultra-maroon and should resign, and be pointed at, and laughed at publicly.

In the unsubstantiated rumor dept: I have heard scuttlebutt that he purchased a retirement home in Ireland, allegedly with Fannie Mae funds, which is a definite no-no, but I repeat that this is unsubstantiated. If you are a disgruntled former Countrywide employee with any info, now would be a good time to step forward. Believe me, it will make you feel gruntled again.
