CNN Reporting: It Was Dodd - And Dodd Just Admitted It
 Edited on Wed Mar-18-09 10:26 PM by mudesi
He added the loophole for the AIG bonuses.

I'm glad Obama called it out. I don't care that Dodd is a Democrat. He needs to be held accountable.

Edited to say: Dodd just admitted it.

6. They are worst
 At least with Fox, you know where they stand. CNN/Time Warner Corp tries to lean on it's Turner past and pass right wing spin to the masses.

11. you know what... I'm Calling Out CNN for Cheerleading the "Free Market"
 and helping to promote the corruption that has gotten us to this point. Oh, don't get me wrong... whoever is responsible for this crap does need to be called out. I just want people to see the irony of this corporate media calling people out for the very shit their own executives probably applaud behind closed doors.
 
It is a meandering thread full of turmoil. Then comes the shocker.  :rotf:

22. Something stinks. CNN puts out two different stories less than a half hour apart
 Official: Obama aides pushed for bonus loophole

BREAKING: I was responsible for bonus loophole, says Dodd

I don't care who put the friggin loophole in, stop trying to cover for AIG and get the money back.

Uh, this news probably came later, too late for the primitives to see.

Dodd said he tried to get that out of the bill, but 0bumble said no.

This is so freaking stupid, the feds are pissing away something like 7 trillion and they penis enviers are worried about a few hundred million.

If the Feds didn't want AIG passing out bonuses they shouldn't have bailed them out.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The smartest thing they have done in years is to almost totally walk away from the thing too.
March 31st is the special election here to replace Gillibrand as our Rep.
Hopefully we can return that seat to the (R) column.

They think that NPR is "center left"...CNN is "centr right" and Fox is of the charts.

Carl, is that your district?  I hear that the R is either ahead or behind, depending on the source.  Do you have any more useful info than that?

Honestly I don`t know where the polls are.
Jim Tedisco is the candidate and the district has always been fairly conservative.

Nast did a political cartoomn in the 19th century showing the Tweed Ring standing in a circle, each pointing to the naxt man as the currupt one, all the way around. There is more than a passing similarity to the Obama Administration, isn't their?
