So here's "I never apologized for kneeling before bankers in my entire life" Dodd's "retirement" announcement:
In my usual snarky editing style....
I have been a Connecticut Senator for 30 years. I'm proud of the job I've done and the results delivered to and for the banksters who have robbed every citizen of this nation of their wealth, savings, and futures.In case that wasn't clear enough it is my belief that the two major "successes" that Dodd cites - Health Care and Financial Regulation - with both in the fullness of time be proved boondoggles, and might ultimately prove sufficient cause for rebellion.
Our country is a work in progress. And I am confident it always will be. That is what I thought about as I stood on that hillside in Arlington on Christmas Eve morning. That is what I've talked about with Jackie over this holiday season and pondered whether, when I lost my seat next year, I would return to Connecticut to a BBQ thrown by the citizens of my state in my name - and at which I'd be the main course.
