"...the blow of a loy, have taught me that there's a great gap between a gallous story and a dirty deed." -Pegeen Mike, in The Playboy of the Western World “What does it mean to “co-purchase” a house together with someone like Ed Downe?” a curious blogger asks on the popular web site Connecticut Local Politics. It’s a timely question. Land records in Washington show that US Sen. Chris Dodd made three real estate purchases there. Dodd, it would appear, is not only an accomplished congressman; he is a super real-estate maestro. 1) 508 E Street, S.E. Washington DC was co-owned by the Dodds and Sanford Bomstein and wife. Bomstein was the bagman implicated in Sen. Tom Dodd’s scandal. Chris Dodd's father was censured in 1967 by the Senate for using campaign funds for personal purposes. That property was sold to Sean Roach for $10 (that’s ten dollars, no decimal error), and the filing date was 8/20/95. You can buy a lot (no pun intended) for ten dollars in Washingto...
go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you;
may your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!"
