There will be no job at GS or Fannie/Freddie.  There will be too much heat on those institutions from the press.  By then, Pimpco will own the universe and because he never did too wrong, they will hire Dodd on with a generic manager position.  He of course will do nothing but smoke cigars and practice his putt all day.  I imagine he will look at his new job more like retirement than anything else.  After all, he had done their bidding in public for long enough.  Time for a little relaxation, eh Chris?

You forgot:

   O   Generic Dick Head Lobbyist

I hereby write in "Generic Dick Head Lobbyist" in Tom Twit Daschle style. And Dodd will steal the postage and anything else that isn't nailed down on his way out the door a la King Klepto Dan Rostenkowski.

Dodd was a dick head generic senator like those cans of generic peas with a white paper label and the word "Peas" on the can. Dodd is a plain white wrapper with the words "Dick Head Senator" on his tie... The tie his staff gave him for X-mas.

But now that you mentioned it...

   O    The Secretary of the Treasury

What an outstanding choice by Obama for the ultimate Wall Street patsy as Treasury Secretary. Dodd can not even figure out which way to turn a door knob or water facet. This guy is idiocy gold!

A- <None of the Above>

The best racket in town for senate washouts is lobbying.  (See- Tom Daschle)

Following his election defeat, Daschle took a position with the lobbying arm of the K Street law firm Alston & Bird. Because he was prohibited by law from lobbying for one year after leaving the Senate,[26] he instead worked as a "special policy adviser" for the firm.[27][28]

 

Alston & Bird's health care lobbying clients include CVS Caremark, the National Association for Home Care and Hospice, Abbott Laboratories and HealthSouth.[8] The firm was paid $5.8 million between January and September 2008 to represent companies and associations before Congress and the executive branch, with 60 percent of that money coming from the health industry.[9] Daschle was recruited by the former Republican Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole.[29] Daschle's salary from Alston & Bird for the year 2008 was reportedly $2 million.[30]

The ROI for the regulated industry is in the 5 to 6 figure percent over the rep-span of the perp.

How about the ROI on the perp himself?  By adding Daschle, Alston & Bird gross $5.8M from Daschle's "work" (I can tell you what $400K of that blood money bought someone, too!) and he pockets $2M (34%).

Hedge fund managers only take 2 and 20.

I'm guessing #4, but I'll probably be wrong.  He might not be smart enough to get while the getting is good.  If I was him I would take my filthy lucre and party like a rock star in some beach-side paradise.  In reality he will become a lobbyist working for Fannie or the FIRE industry.  CEO of Fannie is a little too blatant slap in the face, though having said that I would laugh and laugh and laugh if it happened :)

"He might not be smart enough to get while the getting is good."

 

I didn't think about that part.

However, when I first saw the news, I thought he was packing his Gold and Silver and moving to another country. I also expect many others to quietly do the same in the coming months.

On learning of this, my immediate thought was Dodd will start lobbying.  That seems to be a no-brainer given he knows who to rub elbows with as a sleazy insider ...  But since that isn't an option for the poll, given the options available I think he'd be wise to relocate elsewhere to avoid extradition.

I didn't vote being a non-American - don't want to skew the results.

But even if it changes nothing and even if the US and the rest of OECD is pretty much doomed - which I think we are - it's still nice to see the sun set on at least one festering corrupt disciple of the corporate pigmen.

I asked this on another thread: Wasn't he one of the Friends of Angelo? I'm pretty sure he was.

I have to believe that here in CT, the issue of Dodd getting a VIP mortgage from CountryWide, claiming to know nothing about it, and then getting a pat on the back from his friends in the senate was going to really hurt as his opponents beat him over the head with it every day until the election.

I picked CEO of Fannie, only because this makes the bonuses make a lot more sense.

The last one is a lot more spot on, but getting Tim's spot froze me in my tracks. I knew real terror all of a sudden. The only one worse there would be Baawnee Fwankenfurter.

And Harry Reid would be a triple bonus.

Harry's in big trouble in Nevada. Over the holidays I drove through a little town called Ely,NV on my way to Idaho. A Wild West town in the middle of nowhere that hasn't changed much in 50 years. Signs all along the main roadway through town said " ANYBODY BUTT HARRY REID " . The butt is not misspelled.

Go Schiff, that'll be 2 good eggs, Paul and Schiff.

I would have selected he'd be knocking over Fort Knox if that was an option. But joining the good men at GS who are doing God's work is the second best.
