Chris Dodd Lies, Takes Top Lobbying Job
Found on Techdirt on Tuesday, 01 March 2011
As was expected, former Senator Chris Dodd has now confirmed that he is a blatant liar and willing to sell out his principles for about a million bucks a year. Just months ago, he announced that he would not, under any condition, take a lobbying job. And here it is, just a month or so after he left the Senate and he's confirmed that he's taken the top job at the MPAA, an organization, who just a week ago admitted its number one priority was lobbying the government.
A lying politician? How shocking. The vast majority of those guys will happily support from the depths of their hearts whoever pays most. There might be a few who really are independent, but you can count them on one hand.
