Quote:Chris Dodd appears to be set on giving opponents more and more ammunition against him.
Dodd apparently entered language into the stimulus bill guaranteeing "contractually obligated" bonuses "agreed on before Feb. 11, 2009.†Bonuses just like AIG's, in other words.
AIG and its employees, over the past two decades, has contributed over a quarter million dollars to Dodd campaigns.
Hah, I didn't even know about that part. That makes it even better.
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
