Corruption

Full video here.

This is a bit of a conversation I had with qzyrp about the video:

Me (6:42:20 PM): by the way that Dodd video was UNREAL. So he changed the bonus clause at the behest of someone at the treasury department – he doesn’t even know the person’s name though. But he didn’t even know he did this until going back and looking at the clause closer yesterday. But good thing he had changed the clause (unknowingly) because if he hadn’t, things could have been even worse. Do I have all that right?

qzyrp (6:46:56 PM): yes, you have that exactly correct

qzyrp (6:47:07 PM): congratulations, you win a new ipod!

qzyrp (6:49:19 PM): Yes, he effectively passes blame but to no one in particular, was tough on bonuses while also being the hero for having written the tough amendment in the first place, yet also  for saving the amendment and the country from peril by making the requested change to exempt the bonuses all while making the honest mistake of forgetting he ever did any of that.

qzyrp (6:49:55 PM): it is a masterful display of political triple speak
