All the more reason to dump him, Connecticut.

Dodd's Done

"Financial sector is high among Dodd's donors

WASHINGTON - Wealthy Wall Street executives may be outcasts to some Americans, but not to Democratic Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut.

Facing his toughest reelection fight, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee is reaching out to the financial sector's deep-pocketed donors.

But he's LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, citizen!!!!

What a SCUM-SHIT; however, it does explain the fly landing on his hair!!!

More than $100,000 of the $1 million Dodd raised in the first three months of this year came from political action committees for the financial, insurance, and real estate industries, according to his latest fund-raising report. Dodd also raised $608,995 from individuals, among them top executives from companies such as Fidelity, Citigroup, and Citizens Financial Group.

What could you do with a million, 'murkn? Pay off the mortgage?

In contrast, his take from Connecticut residents was $4,250, an especially anemic display of political enthusiasm for the state's five-term senator. He was skewered in the public furor over $165 million in executive bonuses for American International Group Inc., the bailed-out insurance giant.

After first denying it, Dodd acknowledged that he agreed to a request by Treasury Department officials to dilute a bonus restriction in the economic stimulus bill. His approval rating sank to a career-low 33 percent in a recent Quinnipiac University poll.

Goodbye, Chris!
