Rush has been talking about him, and the New York Times has a story on the travails of James “Jackpot Jimmy” Haas, an AIG executive featured on the front page. Haas, suddenly the subject of public scorn whipped up by Democrats in Congress, has twice to contributed money to…Senator Christopher Dodd.
A resident of upscale Fairfield, Connecticut, on July 4, 1998 Haas gave $500 to Friends of Chris Dodd, according to FEC reports. Haas listed his business as “AIG Trading Products.” On April 18, 2004, Haas again donated to Dodd, this time giving $1,500 and listing his business as “AIG Financial Products.”

Jeffrey Lord you are a MORON!!!
If it hadn't been for Bush and is devil-may-care deregulation of Wall Street, then AIG execs would never have had the money to give to Chris Dodd.
Good lord, I can't believe how stupid you people are!! My sixteen year-old could figure this out!
(I must crawl back under my bridge now.)

We're trying to save Mr. Lord from the inane idiocy of Harpy. Harpy is busy defending TOTUS from his bigoted gaffes toward the handicapped. Get used to it, stooge; your Obummer is an incompetent moron. The next four years should be a hoot. LOL!!!

Geeeez. Dodd is such a stinker, even Harpy won't defend him. Ha!

Beating, Angel and Ruth...
Ha! It's good to know someone has my back! Thanks! Don't get to far under that bridge, Beating. It's going to be a long four years!
