Country Wide Dodd on the hot seat.
“Scott, one of Connecticut’s leading conservative voices of the past three decades, was the last local on-air voice at WELI-AM, once a fully-staffed Greater New Haven news station turned into a right-wing talk radio syndication outlet by owner Clear Channel Communications.
Scott hosted a weekday 5 to 7 p.m. drive-time talk show until Oct. 29. That was the day he taped a combative interview with U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut.
The interview focused on two controversies that have dogged Dodd recently: He received personal “VIP” loans from Countrywide Financial, a predatory lender he was supposed to be regulating as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. And he helped craft a $700 billion Wall Street bailout bill designed to spur new small-business and homeowner lending — but which turns out to be designed instead to enable banks to buy other banks.
Watching the TV news monitors in the WELI newsroom, Tom Scott, a former state senator and Congressional and gubernatorial candidate, had grown frustrated that reporters seemed to be going easy on Dodd. So he savored the chance to push Dodd on why, for instance, he won’t release the documents connected to his personal Countrywide loans.
The result was riveting radio. But WELI’s listeners never got to hear it.”
Now you can here it. Note that Dodd cannot answer for himself and in typical Democrat fashion tries to shift the blame and dodge.

2What in the world will those application documents show if released? That doesn’t show that this was a shady deal. I think Scott did, as Sen. Dodd said, come to the conclusion that Dodd committed fraud, without any facts to back that up. Now he’s trying to paint Dodd into a corner by making it sound like he’s withholding information that’s critical to determining any wrongdoing. Shame on you, Scott. You know that you were unfair in that line of questioning.

3Dodd should step down. He should serve time, because he lies all through this interview. The head of the Banking committee that oversaw Countrywide and he never knew? Bull malarky! He is a thief and a crook! He is following in his father’s footsteps by being so irresponsible and uncaring for the taxpayer americans. DODD is the center of his universe and doesn’t want anyone around him to breathe his air or take up his space. He is a scumbag of the lowest amoeba.
Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi are the same and should be put in jail. They’re all just like the Clintons, still withholding documents. Hilary should be in jail for her illegal activities in Arkansas and the white house.
