Chris Dodd may face investigation after SOPA outburst
« on: January 24, 2012, 06:17:28 PM »
Former Senator Chris Dodd, who now lobbies for the Motion Picture Association of America, may have let the "quo" in "quid pro quo" slip the other day in an outburst directed at congressmen who too MPAA money but won't back SOPA.

He said:

Quote
“Those who count on quote ‘Hollywood’ for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who’s going to stand up for them when their job is at stake," Dodd told Fox News. "Don’t ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don’t pay any attention to me when my job is at stake.”

The rest of the story is here.

So, he and others would kill the internet in exchange for some campaign contributions from Hollywood. How nice.

Its been the process for years and years and years, he's just getting the hairy eyeball for having the gall to say it out loud.

Chris Dudd is one of the handful of demorats who spearheaded the resistance to Bush's attempted ( four times) overhaul of Freddie and Fannie Mae, the two financial institutions atleast partially responsible for the meltdown.     >:D

Dodd needs someone to put SOAP in his mouth.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
