Senator Chris Dodd, D-Conn., took to task Senator Chris Dodd, D-Conn., before the Senate Finance Committee and Treasury officials today.
“Chris Dodd was completely irresponsible,” said Chris Dodd, “How could he let AIG executives take $165 million in bonuses after securing $170 billion in Federal aid? I think it’s only fair that Chris Dodd give the American people and this Senate an explanation.”
A contrite Dodd agreed and reassured Dodd that he shared his anger.
“I’m angry, too, Senator Dodd,” said Dodd, “I put the clause in the bill that allowed those bonuses because I was afraid of the ridiculous amount of lawsuits that would have resulted otherwise. The whole thing is infuriating and I’ve already asked them to give back the money. I’ll ask them again, now. AIG guys, will you please give back the money? Pretty please?”
