Senator Dodd has now come clean and admitted that he is the one who put the language into the stimulus bill that protected the AIG bonuses. Just the day before, he was claiming that some unknown senator or congressman had changed the language in the conference committee and that he was not involved. Even for Washington, the unraveling of this lie was done at lightning speed.
So now Connecticut has an admitted liar as a senator. That Dodd has lied is not so surprising as that he has admitted it. Normally, there would be some argument explaining why the lie was not a lie. Here, however, assuming Dodd does not now claim to have Alzheimer's Disease, the is no excuse possible.
Dod should resign now. If not, the people of Connecticut should make sure that we "resign" him in the next election.
