Lucy Nalpathanchil, reporter for WNPR in Hartford, discusses the role of Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd (D) in dealing with the banking crisis and the turmoil over the A.I.G. bonuses.
Dodd needs to retire. He's too much of a liability to the Democratic Party.
I can't believe anything he says anymore.

Nicknames for Connecticut Residents Connecticut State Library http://www.cslib.org/nicknamesCT.htm
(The following is quoted from that site:)
According to Webster's New International Dictionary, 1993, a person who is a native or resident of Connecticut is a "Connecticuter".
There are numerous other terms in print, but not in use, such as:
"Connecticotian" - Cotton Mather in 1702.
"Connecticutensian" - Samuel Peters in 1781.
"Nutmegger" is sometimes used. It is derived from the nickname, the Nutmeg State, based on the practice of the Connecticut peddlers who traveled about selling nutmegs.
There is not, however, any nickname that has been officially adopted by the State for its residents.

Is it any real surprise that the stock market should go up, in the face of a bail-out plan which is great for shareholders, and lousy for taxpayers?

I'm sorry. Doesn't want to "get pulled into the campaign?" This is the guy who moved his family out to Iowa last year and then yanked them back when he didn't score in the caucuses. Pulease!

As I watched this unfold on CNN it looked to me as though his biggest mistake was trying to deny he had a role in the writing of the loophole. If he had any courage he would have admitted it upfront when asked about it.

The only thing that can save Chris Dodd is Larry Kudlow running for his Senate seat.
