CHRIS DODD GETS more
constituent criticism:
After some rather self-congratulatory remarks by Sen. Dodd and
Chris
Murphy, the U.S. congressman from the district (and a former intern in
Dodd’s office), the questions were chosen and read.
Nothing about the banking crisis. Nothing about Countrywide or
AIG.
Nothing about Sen. Dodd’s lovely seaside “cottage” in Ireland, which
has led to some intriguing questions about mortgage financing and
property transfers. Not a word about any of it.
My question for Sen. Dodd was this: Shouldn’t you consider, in
light
of the compromising information that has been reported, resigning as
chairman of the Senate banking committee?
It was not read. Nor were any questions submitted by the other
journalists read. Meanwhile, Dodd and Murphy held forth at length on
the benefits of single-payer health insurance (good), global warming
(bad), and the beliefs and practices of the previous administration and
Congress (really bad). The hours passed slowly.
I’m sure they did.
