Crony capitalist of the day

Christopher Dodd, Sen. Lieberman’s former colleague, left office a pariah, statewide and countrywide, but quickly landed on his feet by becoming chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America. The Sweetheart of Countrywide, part of that large segment of the one percent OWS didn’t see fit to harass.

    • It's already starting, nobody's going to the movies because there's nothing worth going to see.

  • Unfortunately, ever since Ronald Reagan won office, most children and silly people think that ANYONE in the motion picture industry is not so much a person behind a mask, but a real, genuine, relevant, must be heard and never questioned authority on everything from politics to morality and best tooth whitener.

  • And now Dodd is pushing a censorship bill through Senate, that will shut down any website that shows "Pirated" content.

    • Yup, and he says "China is the model". I don't know about the MPAA but their sister organization in the music business (The RIAA) is a bunch of gangsters and racketeers.

      • Yeah, beware of RIAA execs bearing soap on a rope. Where soap here means "tyranny in the form of socialism"

  • It's another Hollywood horror story. A corrupt, hypocritical politician who helped bankrupt America and belongs in prison is rewarded by his Left Coast cronies. Democrats all.

    Strange how the California occubots can shut down seaports and trash downtown businesses but can't seem to find Hollywood---where some real 1% wealth resides. Norman Lear for one.

  • I LOL'd when I heard about that a couple of weeks ago. Perfect job for someone who acted like he worked on behalf of the country.
