Yesterday, Dorgan hit the eject button, and today, Dodd reached for the doorknob. Dorgan is a doofus, and enough said about him. He knew he was through, and better to clear out than be embarrassed by the the rejection of the voters. Good riddance.
I took some pleasure in Dodd's announcement. For two reasons. He's a crook and a liar. Got two (count 'em - two) sweetheart mortgage deals from Countrywide, and then said with a straight face that he didn't know they had made it good to him. He's chair of the Senate Banking Committee, and he doesn't know what the current mortgage rates are? Then he made sure that AIG executives could retain the bonuses they received after the bail-out. The fact that AIG maxed out their contributions to his campaign had nothing to do with that, however.
Harry Reid will be the next one to drop out because he knows he can't get re-elected. How he ever got elected in the first place is a mystery to me, much less becoming Majority Leader. Together, he and Dodd have screwed this country up. (Don't get me started on Pelosi.) Dodd enabled the financial collapse, and Reid bought enough votes in the Senate to get the disastrous health care bill approved.
Barbara Boxer won't run again, either. At least she won't have to watch herself on YouTube anymore.
Thank God!
