Connecticut Ready To Boot Dodd Finally?

He's only been parked at the public trough like other Northeastern lib democrats since the Vietnam war. I thought these people were supposed to be progressives? How much progress can you be making with the same broken down horse in the race for decades?

Not to mention this man and the other boob I posted about this morning, Barney Frank are the two most culpable Americans in this Financial Tsunami we're in right now.

Well Time is reporting Dodd's days could be numbered. Hallelujah if this is true. Here's Dodd and his buddy Countrywide CEO, Angelo Mozilo who provided the mortgages that Dodd should be doing time for among other malfeasance causing this whole mortgage card house to come tumbling down as is has.

Connecticut's Chris Dodd Faces a Backyard Rebellion

- TIME: "In many respects, Senator Chris Dodd is more powerful than ever on Capitol Hill these days. After enduring eight years in the political wilderness, the Connecticut Democrat is one of his ascendant party's senior statesmen, someone who endorsed Barack Obama early on in the presidential campaign and who hails from a solidly blue state

As chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, Dodd has played a central role in shepherding much of Obama's economic agenda, from the second half of the bank bailout to the coming overhaul of regulations governing Wall Street. With his good friend Ted Kennedy sidelined with brain cancer, Dodd has stepped in to help take a lead role on health-care reform. In fact, at one point earlier this year, before the Inauguration, Dodd was de facto chairman of Kennedy's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee as well as Joe Biden's Foreign Relations Committee."

At the same time, Dodd is looking increasingly vulnerable. The silver-haired father of two young girls is facing his toughest re-election fight ever, and he doesn't even have an opponent yet. (CNBC pundit Larry Kudlow and former GOP Representative Rob Simmons have both expressed interest in running.) In a January Quinnipiac poll, 51% of Connecticut voters said they would not vote for Dodd in 2010. ...........

Much of Dodd's current woes stem from a pair of mortgages that he must wish he had never gotten.

Yea right, here's Glen Beck on January 30th, right before he flipped over to Fox, with a funny little video that explains this all. from the Sweetheart mortgages to the Friends of Angelo program that Dodd enjoyed:
