Senate channels “Not Me”
Maybe we should make members pass a quiz on the contents of bills before they’re allowed to vote. Case in point: the bonus exemption in the Stimulus Bill that AIG executives took advantage of. Where it came from and how it got into the bill is a mystery:
In an interview with CNN, Dodd denied inserting that exemption at the 11th hour, and insisted he doesn’t know how it got there.
“When I wrote the language there was no such language like that,” Dodd told CNN Tuesday.
Multiple Senate Democratic leadership sources also deny knowing how the exemption got into the bill.
Maybe he did it! And maybe members should have Read the Bill
