Sen. Chris Dodd Grudgingly Admits His Role in Allowing AIG Bonuses - Video 3/18/09

Here is video from CNN of Democrat Sen. Chris Dodd grudgingly admitting that he is responsible for language in an amendment to the Economic Stimulus Bill that allowed for bonuses to be paid to Executives at AIG. He is confronted here by CNN's Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer about the fact that he adamantly said yesterday that he had not put language in the bill allowing for bonuses.

In short, Chris Dodd flat out lied yesterday about his role in the legislation allowing bonuses to be paid out. Yet, Dodd has been santimoniously criticizing the bonuses and pushing for something to be done about it. But he did nothing to prevent such bonuses when he had a chance! Dodd "negotiated" with the administration, he says, who wanted such language in the bill.
