Too Cool
By Mitch Berg
This might be better than Ed Schultz running for Senate…:
This morning, The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder reported that retiring Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) may be offered a job in the Obama administration. “Privately, senior White House officials have communicated to Dodd their belief that his position was untenable. A sinecure or administration position is likely,”
It’d be like George W Bush putting the Department of Justice under Randy Cunningham.

Rumor today is that Geithner gets the fall-guy role for the economy, and Dodd gets the job at Treasury.

Given the money the an Obama Treasury Secretary has to borrow to buy all the votes and support ACORN now that ACORN has been forced to end its lucrative Underage Prostitution Consultantcy, Dodd would be the right man for the job. Dodd has proven himself adept at working his friends for better rates than the average borrower. Of course his friend Angelo Mozillo is singing like a canary right now and Dodd may be the first Treasury Secretary to wear an orange jumpsuit and work from a Federal Penitentiary.

calling the Lon Nol regime an ally is to debase the word…. The greatest gift our country can give to the Cambodian people is peace, not guns. And the best way to accomplish that goal is by ending military aid now.
Chris Dodd, 1975.

Terry, remember, being liberal means never having to say your sorry for being wrong. I’m still waiting for the hole in the ozone layer to melt man kind with laser like rays.

While Geithner has proved to be a disappointment so far, I shudder to think about the economy with Dodd as Treasury Secretary. Can’t they give him a post where he won’t do as much damage like head of DOHS?

Given his foreign policy views, I’d suggest Dodd be named our first new Ambassador to Cuba.

Elder: I shudder to think about the economy with Dodd as Treasury Secretary.”
How about Chairman of the Federal Reserve?

Leave some room for Fwank, Kermit.
And who shall be punished, the innocent American that opposes Liberal Fascism?
I mean, it certainly sounds like rewarding the guilty…

Leave some room for Fwank, Kermit.
Fwank gets the World Bank, K.
