1. Dear Mr. Dodd...

[Warpy]

2. Dodd was a jerk in office and is an even bigger jerk out of it.

It's high time the old fool retires.

And I had an expense account lunch with a banker yesterday who said he was going to be paralyzed by not being able to look things up on Wiki all day.

I just wish more Democrats would realize what a dog that bill is and withdraw their support. Those stupid jerks are making the rest of us look bad.

3. He DID retire

This is his new, better paying gig...

[Warpy]

10. If he's still got a gig, he aint retired.

It doesn't matter how much he's sucking up in our money, working = not retired.

[FlyByNight]

4. Dodd is a liar...

...and a whore. I hope that lobbyist position is worth what's left of conscience.

5. Depressing

It is depressing just how corrupt our system is. When we work hard and elect "our guys" to office, it turns our our guys are as corrupt as their guys. How can we win?

[The Wizard]

6. The bill does not need adjusting or tweaking

It needs to be dropped like a bad habit. The landscape has changed, and the Internet with its free exchange of information is close to overtaking conventional media. The Democrats still thinking this bill or some form of it is good politics need to get out of office.

7. I was shocked to learn

Sen. Leahy and Reid support this travesty

[Quantess]

8. They are probably bought off too.

Just guessing.

[rhett o rick]

9. I am shocked that you are shocked. Statistically, ALL Congress-critters are corrupt.

There are a few. Sen Sanders comes to mind.

11. K&R!

12. I knew Chris Dodd way back when in CT

Thought he was a putz then and think he's a putz now. He's incredibly impressed with himself. This was back before he was married and thought he was god's gift to women. Blech! Not! He's one of those incredibly narcissistic politicians, which made him a totally unappealing human being IMO.
