twitterLetter to the editor:
Dodd isn’t in position to make this demand
Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2008 | 2:01 a.m.
Is this what you call chutzpah? Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut has demanded that the chief executive officer of General Motors resign because of the management of GM during his tenure.
Isn’t this the same Sen. Dodd who along with his House counterpart Rep. Barney Frank continued over the years to tell the public that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were fine upstanding organizations with no financial problems while they were in fact in the process of collapsing?
Additionally, wasn’t Sen. Dodd the one who took sweetheart loan deals from Countrywide Financial? Why are there no demands for Sen. Dodd to resign from the U.S. Senate?

If you are Democrat crook then the media does not care.
If you are a Republican crook then OH-MY-GOD it is the end of the world.
It is amazing that the so called journalistic world does nothing with these crooks and that is exactly what they are. Apparently the news media loves a democratic or is it dumocratic crook. True journalism has nothing to do with it.
Dodd can't be in trouble. harry Ried is there to watch his back.
