Dodd: "Regulators Must Be Strong Cops On The Beat"

Picture 152.png
Fuck yeah! And not little fairy cops on bikes, modes of transport that in no way whatsoever command respect, but cops on Segways! And we need some police brutality up in this bitch! To that end, I'll be holding a seminar on how to effectively wield a night stick early next week. Only when regulators start sodomizing people will we be able to save the economy.

Oh, and he also announced he'll be staying on as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.

there seems to be a word missing in the last line -- "we"? will "we" be able to save the economy. Or maybe "I"?

WASHINGTON, July 14, 2008
....
Hoping to bolster confidence, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat, told CBS News Early Show anchor Harry Smith that Fannie and Freddie are financially sound.

"What's important is to calm people's fears," Dodd said. "These are very well capitalized at more than adequate levels. They weren't bottom feeders when it came to these subprime mortgages like other banks were. There's a lot more reason to have confidence in what's going on here than to have fear take over."

Bess - don't be so sensitive. Merely offering constructive criticism to help you improve. It is for the better of all who visit.

That is rich. The Senator from Countrywide now wants regulators to regulate.
