After being outed as just another crooked hack politician, Senator Dodd decides to cash in and retire, knowing he couldn't get elected dog catcher.

In what should have been an illustrious career as a US Senator, Christopher Dodd is being forced to retire since he and his people have more than likely run the numbers a million times or more only to have them show that he hasn't got a chance of being elected dog catcher in his home town let alone re-elected to the US Senate. In the last year there were just too many issues that surfaced that even the deaf, dumb and blind (that's a euphemism for the Idiot's) in his home state of Connecticut that had voted him into office six consecutive times couldn't overlook any longer.

The sweetheart mortgage deal he got from the then Chairman of Bank of America, I think it was called a 'friends of Angelo' loan or something like that, where regardless of credit or income there was no better deal which meant he owed some kind of special favor to the Bank. Then there was his involvement with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae disasters and the 'pushing' of the sub prime loans that sunk these two institutions which the government continues to pump taxpayer money into as fast as the red ink continues to run out the other side. Why, he stood side by side with Representative Barney Frank, a man of equally low repute, while the two of them spouted off like a couple of North Atlantic Right Whales shooting steam out of their blow holes trying to convince the American people that there was no impropriety going on during their watch, America watched, America listened and America decided they were both liars.

Sadly the soon to be former Senator from Connecticut will probably get away with any and all wrong doing and go on to some consulting job courtesy of his friends in Washington and there abouts. The only consolation that we have as regular citizens is that he knows that we know that he sold his office, his reputation has been sullied and for people with ego's as large as Senators that's crushing.
