If this is Dodd's understanding of how congressmen work, I'd like to see an investigation into Dodd's time in congress. Who wrote him checks? What kind of attention he paid in return?
Isn't this more "blackmale" than "bribery" (quotes intentional...)
Unfortunately, either way, I don't think anything serious will come of this!
I think the issue with the system as it is now runs a little deeper than "bribery" by one organization but perhaps this is a good way to get some thinking about it.
