Unlike his fellow senator, Chris Dodd refuses to fess up to at least the appearance of impropriety on the sweetheart loan he got from Countrywide Financial.
Again, though, Dodd continues to parse his words carefully. He still only says that he refused to seek preferential treatment without addressing the more substantive issues of whether or not he got preferential treatment (unsolicited) and, if so, did it affect any votes of his related to mortgages, etc.?
Parallel to the old Watergate saying, “It’s not the impropriety, but the appearance of impropriety, that gets you.”
