The only nice thing I can say about Chris Dodd is that

he isn't Joe Lieberman.

Is that an example of damning with feint praise?

Hm.

In any event, Time has an article on Senator Dodd: Connecticut's Chris Dodd Faces a Backyard Rebellion by Jay Newton-Small.

On this point Dodd says he too is frustrated in waiting for responses from the leadership on requests for more staff. "We're jammed," he says. "I think we'll need some more people, and we're bringing more people on ... I'm really exhausted. It's overwhelming the amount of work and trying to stay on top of it and listening to people about their ideas and trying to figure out what the solutions are."


Poor man. Perhaps Connecticut should take pity on the Senator and allow him to retire. But please, Connecticut, not Kudlow or Simmons... we have enough problems in this state.

Poor Mr Dodd has reached his best before date and needs to call it a day.

Unfortunately those guys have such monstrous egos that they usually overstay their usefullness.

Moving to Iowa to run for President and getting a sweetheart mortgage proves that his best days are behind him.

Take five Chris..get on the book and talk-show circuit..be a pundit..live a little!

Dodd was never the sharpest needle in the stack to begin with... he should have stayed in Iowa!

He has a book coming out and the local talk radio station is in need of a new host so there's hope for Chris yet.
