Dodd Trying to Ignore AIG Bonus Scandal

In case you ever need an example of the hypocrisy of democrats and their fake “outrage” about things like AIG bonuses, just take a look at this.

“An aide to U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd dismissed as “old news” a report Monday that said the Connecticut Democrat collected more than $160,000 from American International Group employees and their spouses after a top executive urged employees to give.

The Washington Times reported that in a November 2006 e-mail, the head of the troubled Financial Products unit told employees that Dodd was “next in line” to chair the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, where he would “have the opportunity to set the committee’s agenda on issues critical to the financial services industry.”

See, companies like AIG are good when they donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to campaigns, but when they are needed for a political stage event, they are tossed under the bus.

Dodd and Frank are two of the most corrupt and inept politicians in Washington today. We can only hope at election time people will remember this.
