Chris Dodd's Lies

Last week's furor over how the government mishandled retention bonuses promised, contractually, to AIG personnel, provided a lot of entertainment and some very revealing activity.

Perhaps the most damaged two liberals are Doddering Chris Dodd, Countrywide favor-taking and embattled Democratic Senator from Connecticut, and Treasury Secretary and tax cheat Tim Geithner.

Dodd has now been caught in a flat out lie, as has Geithner.

Here's a video clip from Sean Hannity's Fox News program providing evidence of the lies.

Pretty damning evidence, is it not? Dodd lied about his efforts in a major bill. Geithner lied about what he did and knew, both from his stint as NY Fed President, when he led the government takeover of AIG, and then his recent comments as Treasury Secretary. He apparently intentionally failed to warn his boss of the coming bonus furor for two days last week.

Maybe Tim was too busy stamping parking validations for Treasury visitors at the department's reception desk?

Dodd is now in trouble in his own state, with poll numbers showing him now slightly behind his expected Republican challenger.

It's just incredible that, having either ineptly ignored the bonuses, or deliberately lied about them, Dodd and Geithner are attempting to escape any responsibility whatsoever, now that public furor has been ignited over the relatively minuscule, by Federal spending standards, amount.

You also don't see Congress admitting that most of its members failed to read the bill which they passed that allowed the bonuses.
