Dodd Crushed By Local Media Over Weekend

I think it would be fair to say that Chris Dodd has never had a three or four day period with this much negative press from his local mainstream media. You might have to go back to John Rowland to find anyone in Connecticut who has. These jumped out at me, but I am fairly confident that this is not an exhaustive list.

From the Hartford Courant:

• Dodd's Self Inflicted Wounds Taking Toll (editorial board)
• Dodd's Explanations Misleading, Incomplete (Kevin Rennie)
• There's No Bonus For Lies, Sen. Dodd (Helen Ubinas)
• GOP's Simmons Positions Himself As The Anti-Dodd
• Dodd Needs To Say He Won't Run In 2010 (Rick Green)

From the Connecticut Post:

• Dodd's Popularity Began Dropping Before AIG
• Dodd's Credibility Takes Another Hit (Post staff)
• Dodd's Actions Speak Louder Than His Words (Aaron Kennon)

From the New Haven Register:

• Dodd's Street Credibility Slipping
• Dodd Lied About AIG Bonuses
  

From the Waterbury Republican-American:

• 'Dodd Eruptions' Provide Cover

I think each of Dodd's numerous scandals got at least a mention, from his ill-timed move to Iowa for his disaster of a Presidential capaign, to his accepting sweetheart mortgage deals from his friend at Countrywide, to the Washington condo, to the mysterious, non-appreciating Irish cottage, to Dodd's stimulus amendment that ended up giving millions to AIG execs who made Dodd their most-contributed-to politician and Dodd' subsequent lying and blame-shifting.

Not bad for a weekend!
