i bet barney frank is the guy who found the tumor.
LOL! nice...
LMFAO!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .... you just made my day ..... LMFAO
who ever flagged all the posts under this article as junk, i want him to know that i have a big FUCK YOU he can collect ..
lol, word is that he will formally annouce that his political career was found dead at home this morning. Apparently, Barney Frank discovered the decomposing carcass and tried to resucitate it by...
Agreed, I'm sure this has nothing to do with an inevitable investigation, looks like Schiff is a shoe-in...
Schiff will win no matter what ... i talk regularly with my friends from CT and they are sick and tired of Dodd, Schiff is in definitely ...
Not so fast. Schiff needs money and he has to take out the other two Republican contenders. So PLEASE donate to his cause.
gladly, but the US law forbids me to
I'm doubtful but hope Schiff buries his ass.
this is not good for schiff.
dodd is his best argument to get the republican nomination. if dodd is replaced by some faceless democrat nobody knows it'll be much harder
Not to be an insensitive prick....but....paging Peter Schiff....paging Peter Schiff
Hope he get's the VIP treatment he has become accustomed to.
I am sure that Barney Frank would be willing to extend Dodd that VIP treatment. All Dodd needs to do is ask...
Now, let's see how he votes on Healthcare reform.
Do we really need to now this crap unless he is going to step down from his position of screwing the taxpayer TODAY!
I mean give me a break.....who do these people think they are and that we care about their health....the sooner they go more more time we have.
Dodd has outstanding word-class health care and insurance...many of the rest of us...not so much. A teachable moment?

My prostate is preventing me from revealing the details of my Countrywide mortgage.
Perhaps his buddy Mozillo will hold his hand through his "ordeal".
I hope he suffers a long a painful death.
ditto
I know that sounds horrible but I agree, I was thrilled to hear that fucker Kennedy had brain cancer too.
As our president says, he should stop whinning and take an aspirin...
And while you're at it, add 5 PSI to your tire pressure.

Wow! "Weasels ripped my flesh". Nice Pic.
Years later now and Frank still rules!
LOL .. Giving him the VIP treatment .. wonder if he requested it this time around ;)
He needs Dendreon.
Too bad he never investigated the DNDN scandal...
only if this were Dodd
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=eeb_1249001813
who is the Governor ? If Dodd steps down will someone get appointed ?
Jodi Rell (Republican).
He won't step down. Isn't his buddy Kennedy still in office?
The CT Gov is a moderate "Republican" (McCain-type). Coincidentally, she came back from a cancer diagnosis.
hope he doesn't die before the economy falls off the cliff
he needs to see what damage he helped cause
Dodd told the Courant he is scheduled to undergo surgery during the Senate's August recess and said expects to be back at work after a "brief recuperation" at home.
cnbc dot com headline: "Sen. Dodd Has Prostate Cander (stories developing)"
ok, this post and these comments are just mean-spirited and tacky.
perhaps so, but couldn't be directed at a more deserving slimeball
shove your politically correct view on the world where the sun doesn't shine ...
Ahhhh, Senator Kent Conrad, welcome to Zero Intelligence!
If you choose to step into the public eye (and be a slimeball) you are going to get s h i t hurled at you.
We regular folks get cancer too.
aww, dennis did the whiddle baby lose his crackberry and make the whiddle baby cry? Seriously appropo the Ass munch got Ass cancer...thank you heysuss
Though my karma is going to take a hit. I hope he has issues during surgery and dies a long and painful death. May Dodd rot in hell!!
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.
Dodd is an idiot. I have prostate cancer and he is nuts for getting surgery. Recent Havard study indicates that 49 out of 50 prostate surgeries are unneeded. Hope he enjoys his leaking bladder and inablility to have sex with his young wife.
Sorry to hear that. How do you recommend people deal with it, though? Prostate cancer is in my family, so I'd be interested to know.
God works in mysterious ways.
This made my weekend.
I was praying for Arlen Specter's cancer to return but I will settle for this.

Politicians: Wake The Hell Up

Ah, the old "I've got prostate cancer" trick. One of the oldest in the book.
LOL
poor baby has cancer? couldn't happen to a nicer guy, the sorry traitorous scum, i hope he dies and goes to hell, the bastard...may he rot in hell for what he has done.....
Franks could have acted sooner to alert him to his cancer, but thought initially it was some sort of speed-bump.
"You can't prosecute a guy with prostate cancer" is the new "You can't hit a guy with glasses"
My comments on this post have been rated as junk. Does that mean I can repackage this shit and resubmit it with +AAA rating?
deffo ... just get someone from GS to underwrite and repackages all this shit and call it some fancy name like JCBS ( Junk Crap Backed Securities )
Yes sir it does! S&P & Moodys will be calling you shortly with the wire instructions.
My father had early stage prostate cancer and had the surgeon that wrote the instruction manual for the robotic arm that did the surgery, no human hand touched my father, and it went extremely well, so if anyone's interested, come to Tampa Bay, FL and I will get you more details if interested.
I'm glad your dad got better, but i really really hope all the robots rebel and deny performing the surgery on this guy, or that the doctor who does the procedure has some grudge with Dodd and makes an " unintentional mistake "
(Sowwy, whiwe weading this mowning's financiaw headwines, somehow my speech swipped into Bawney-Fwank-ish wascawwy-wabbit mode ... pwease excuse the wesuwting wisping)
If Senatow Dodd's pwostate twuwy is swowwen and painfuw as a wesuwt of his medicaw condition, then pewhaps what Uncaw Bennie said about it being "a wiquidity cwisis" (as opposed to one of sowvency) is twue, at weast fow the Senatow.
Appawentwy being a "fwiend of Angewo" is no cuwe-aww, it mewewy hewps on the bawgain-pwiced-mowtgage and fake-tan fwont.
hilarious
ewmayer,
Freakin' genius!
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.
I'll take an eternal life as a bankster in their current positions... it's like christmas every day... $5,000 hookers... and enough cocaine to make me think it's snowing... fucking ace.
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.
Agreed, death is too lenient for these f u ck e r s.
They should live out their remaining years in a pain amplifier.
"Now bring me that flying fatman"
i see that the cancers at fannie mae and freddie mac have metastasized....to the right place...
This is a natural consequence of being a government sock puppet of Goldman Sachs. You see, when GS puts their hand up there so much to move his mouth...
Funniest Post
God I love this board---what a howl
Was hesitating about wishing for a balancing of nature, a sangfroidian, welltenshprung karmic comeuppance, for the senior slimeball from Connecticut, but y'all, nearly anonoymously, have put it far more succinctly than I ever could.
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.
Now if only Kennedy would succumb, a hat trick might be in the offing with Byrd about to get his ticket punched too.
TGIF
Senator Dodd is a cancer to society
a green shoot you can believe in.
if true he gave it in the ass to all the investors in the fannie, freddie preferreds and labeled them speculators. idiot detroyed the ability to raise tier 1 capital and accelerated the collapse for financial companies. karma is a bitch
ironic how the two fucks who are pushing this socialized medicine will now have the best money can buy to help them through cancer
kennedy last year and dodd now
fuck them both

"...now, the number 2 answer, 'prostate cancer', is on the board, provided by your lovely Aunt Martha.(SWAK) I'm going to read the question again, 'If you had one disease to wish on a member of Congress, what would it be?'"
"Well, Louie, I'm going to say 'Genital Warts'."(Clap, Clap, Clap)
"Show me genital warts! (Ding-a-ling-a-ling) The number 1 answer!"
Chris Dodd, hope your cancer spreads to every part of your body, then Nancy Pelosi visits you in the hospital, and she catches HIV. DIE YOU SCUMBAGS!
I strongly suggest that he report to the Vet hospital for treatment. He served our nation and deserves the same treatment our hero's receive. The cancer survior rate at VA is ZERO. http://www.vawatchdog.org/09/nf09/nfjun09/nf062109-1.htm
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.
