It is now Day 98 of the Mortgage-gate scandal involving Sen. Chris Dodd and his failure to complete his promise to release all  documents pertaining to his two loans deals with Countrywide Financial.

Dodd has not and probably will not release these documents after publicly promising to do so near the end of July. He figures the Connecticut media will not press him and he is probably right,

However, they will quote him and today, Sen. Dodd showed why he should resign from his chairmanship of the Banking and Urban Affairs Committee, which has jurisdiction for the nation’s financial services. In response to the $85 billion bailout of AIG, Dodd once again added nothing to the public discussion.

“I’m not happy about this,” said Dodd, D-Conn., ”I don’t think they had much of a choice, but they need to explain that and answer questions.”

Not happy? Really, well, who the #$%^& is happy with it, Senator?  Certainly not the AIG shareholders, employees and taxpayers. Where have you been while this problem has been brewing, banks have been collapsing? Oh, I forgot, you were running for President, or wandering on your estate in Ireland or having a good time in Denver.

And, just to show you, Sen. Dodd could use a daily dose of Ginkgo extract for his short-term memory issues. Tim White has caught Dodd’s double-speak on the Bear-Sterns taxpayer-financed corporate bailout.
