UConn James Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Link Caught early, "feels fine" etc. As much as I dislike some of his political views, his cheating on paying taxes on his Ireland "cottage" (claimed its worth was $100K), and his VIP deal from Countryside ("[Dodd] said he thought the VIP program simply meant enhanced customer service and the ability to get a live person on the phone." Ladies and gentlemen, the Chairman of Senate Finance either doesn't understand what a VIP program is designed to do, or he's lying his ass off), a company which he's supposed to regulate, among other things that show 30 years sucking at the public teat is way too long... most of the time, I still don't wish him ill. You've gotta wonder what this adds to a 2010 race that is projected as the most vulnerable Democrat Senate seat in the country. Dodd's poll numbers earlier this year were abysmal, and showed him losing to one of his challengers, Rob Simmons, even before Simmons said he would run. Nor has all the excrement hit the air conditioning yet about the funny money stuff. Whatever kind of fallout may come by next year from the health care bill that he's got a big part in forming. It all seems to be brewing into a perfect storm for Dodd.
IDBillzFan Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 A close friend of mine was diagnosed with prostate cancer six weeks ago, also caught early. In for surgery four weeks later (five hours of surgery around and about some rather important nerves), back at work this week with a clean bill of health.m I'll be curious to see how fast Dodd gets in for surgery.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 My father had it (in his 70's). Told the doctors to take it out. He seems to be fine... Been something like 3-4 years now. My doctor said, if you get checked once a year after 40 (you know the simple test.. ): "I will tell you that YOU WON'T DIE of prostate cancer." He was pretty straight forward with such a prediction!
Fastback Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 I hope he gets well soon. And I hope he is then voted out of office in the next election and investigated for corruption- not necessarily in that order.
/dev/null Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Get well soon Chris so you can enjoy a nice long retirement...which hopefully will start in January 2011
KD in CA Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Get well soon Chris so you can enjoy a nice long retirement...which hopefully will start in January 2011 or sooner. F---in' crook.
ThereIsNoDog Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 If he gets re-elected, the people of CT are F'ing morons.

And it is important that this is brought up. It shouldn't have to be a death knell.
