20) Chris Dodd: Dodd, who ran a perfectly awful campaign for President, was one of the few candidates who didn’t get an invitation to join Barack Obama’s cabinet. Was it because he’s so tragically boring? No, it’s because not only was he, like Barney Frank, an enabler for the whole financial crisis that has currently engulfed the U.S. economy — he also got a sweetheart deal from Countrywide and then turned around and helped funnel billions of dollars their way during the bailout. Of course, Dodd claimed that he had no idea he was getting such a great deal because he is a U.S. Senator. He simply thought they were rewarding him for being such a good customer!
That’s how it always seems to work with crooked politicians like Chris Dodd: companies funnel in money on the front end and the pols pay them back with taxpayer money by the bank vault full while shifting the blame elsewhere.
Defining quote: “It’s not easy being a U.S. senator. People trick you into taking special favors you didn’t even know existed. Shame on these unscrupulous people!…Most alleged victims of Countrywide were gulled into taking loans with onerous interest rates and excessive fees. But they don’t know the agony of life as a U.S. senator, when at any moment a powerful, well-heeled interest might take advantage of you with cut-rate loans.” — Rich Lowry
Dang it, they skipped me again. Oh well, there is always next year.
@capper I’m sure you’ll make it one of these days!!
That list is really skewed…
How can ya have a *Most annoying Libbers* list and not have that half a faggot Al Franken??
Cap, m’dear….I agree with Chris. No doubt, one day, you’ll be on the BIG board. LOL But we still love ya anyway. Hmm… See? That’s the problem? You aren’t annoying enough. Although, I do know you try your best.
Dang Fred, you’re right! How could they have missed him! Makes my skin crawl. *chibber*
Hell’s Bells. How am I supposed to even have a chance when ya got the lefty versions of TexasFred, making similarly idiotic comments?
And just what the hell is “half a faggot,” anyway?
Oh, and another thing: Any word when they are going to come out with the most annoying conservative? Or are they still trying to narrow down the list from all of them?
Half a faggot… You know?? As opposed to being the REAL DEAL like Barney Fag, uh, Oops, Frank…
Y’know capper, you could start your own list. Although, for the life of me, I can’t imagine any conservatives who would even come close to those on this particular list.
And…..
That will be a project for a later date. There is a cornucopia to chose from:
Rush into Limbo, Ann Coulter, Dick Cheney, George Bush, Sarah Palin, John McCain, Bill O’Really, Sean Hand-It-To-Me…
Those are just some candidates off the top of my head. I’m sure it wouldn’t take long to fill up that dance card.
Hmm….now you know if I agreed with you on something, I’d say so, right? Rare though it may be….it has happened…. was it once? Heh>
But on your little list up there, only one stands out as being annoying….and that would be Bush. His recent behavior has given me some indication….it’s time for him to go home!
McCain comes a close second. He was TOO nice during the campaign. tsk tsk tsk Didn’t want him anyway, and don’t know of anyone who did. So…. we can agree on those two….in a way. LOL
