as much as you shutting him down with the facts in mid-sheesh

although pretty clear in my opinion of Dodd, it is stunning the recent turn
of the desperate to just make stuff up. That MediaMatters thing was
priceless.....

And _perhaps_ misleading or just wrong itself. I have no idea what Rush or
Drudge reported (I did see a story on FoxBusiness, which, combined with
Schumer's "100% tax" shtick and Dodd's idiotic comments about taxing, etc. and
knowing his status as a _BIG_ AIG contrib recipient, caused me to post), but I
based my post upon what was already "semi-reported" in weeks past by various
sources, including the NYT. For a Google-searched example from today:

http://www.dcexaminer.com/politics/D...-41404342.html

compared with, also today:

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/03/17/dodd/

Depending on you wish to believe, it may not have actually been Dodd, but
rather, Timmy and Larry. If that's the case, it's even worse. IAC, this gets
convoluted, because TARP and "the stimulus" are different, and even the
amendment citing in the mediamatters piece only restricted bonus money during
the period covered by TARP.

Whatever happened, it deserves some real reporting...but as a actual journalist
noted just today (in a online conference), "most of the real journalists have
been laid off..."
