Consumer group accuses Hollywood of ‘threatening politicians’

Consumer group Public Knowledge accused Motion Picture Association of America head, former Sen. Chris Dodd, of trying to intimidate lawmakers into supporting two controversial anti-piracy bills.

Chris Dodd intimidates people? OOOOH, I'm sooooo scared of him!
What did he do? Tell them he'd take away Barbara Streisand's support?

So Dodd goes from being a lifetime politician to making over a million a year as head of the MPAA. Lets guess which group he represented over his 30 year career, the people of Connecticut or the leftist elite. I guess we can only blame Connecticut for his success though. It's amazing to think of the different values people from different states have.

Chris Dodd, he's been a scumbag all his life and he's not going to change now.

If there was real justice in this country, he'd change his three-piece suit for prison stripes.
