Senator Dodd To Hold 2:00 PM Conference In Hartford On "Personal Health Issue"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Developing story: Presumably the Senator's health has nothing to do with his preferential mortgage treatment by Countrywide Financial. Hartford Courant newspaper says Sen. Dodd diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer.

Men can live with prostate cancer for a very long time.  For anyone who cares: your risk is pretty much your age, so a 75 year old has a 75% chance of having prostate cancer.

Sooooooo... on a long enough time line, all men get prostate cancer. Now we all have something else to look forward to.

I'm all for wishing slimeballs are shamed, embarrased, disgraced, publicly flogged and fully exposed for their illicit deeds.  But I think its going too far to wish death upon these folks. 

Didn't any of y'all see 300?  In a society bound by honor and glory the greatest insult to hurl at someone was to wish them eternal life.  I would say that applies here.  I sincerely hope these banksters and their scummy enablers live long enough to see the damage they've wrought.

You left out the most, very most, important penalties like life in prison. As for those you mentioned, you don't really think they experience the emotions you do, do you?

Shame, disgrace, beating (for a masochist)? Come on. Those are preferred enjoyments for these monsters.

You need to get more spleen, T-bone.

I was at one of the most upper level Country clubs a few weeks ago where Cheney and others have played golf. IF you had heard even 5 minutes of some of the conversations I did
your outlook on appropriate punishment to fit their crimes against individuals and humanity might metamorphose very quickly.

Thank you all for 'spressing my own sentiments much more 'tude than I was prepared to exercise.

And thank you monitors for permitting the vituperous venting that TheDoddster so richly, and rightly has earned.

We knew he was Pro-State.

 

For those well wishers out there, fear not, the latest health care bill ACTUALLY EXCLUDES representatives and the administration from being forced to take the public healthcare plan they submitted for the public at large.  If his case is terminal he will not be visitetd by the ACTUAL DEATH COMMITTEE in the public health plan to discuss how he is too old to receive expensive treatments because the health care bill ACTUALLY EXCLUDES representatives and the administration.  His recovery will most likely be a Doddle.

 

My only hope for him is that facing his own mortality, he considers his life in retrospect and instead of rationalizing his compromised integrity, he decides to help reform the tentacled system he helped create.  Now he has nothing to lose but his soul.
