Sir Dodd Makes Bid for King Paulson's Crown

M.O.T. News

Sir Christopher Dodd from the Land of Connecticut today made a spectacle of himself during a meeting with King Paulson and fellow knights -- a meeting which was broadcast live throughout the kingdom.

When King Paulson asked the knights to provide gold for the purposes of keeping certain trade routes open, Sir Dodd questioned his plan openly and without shame, for all the subjects to see.

"An incredible display, really," stated Reilly Smith, longtime constituent from Connecticut. "Politics got interesting today in the king's court."

King Paulson, who recently overthrew Queen Pelosi to take over the throne, stood his ground.

"Not that it matters," added Dr. Ricardo Holeman from the National Enneagram Council. "The good King is in trouble. Without Sir Dodd's support, there will be no funding for trade routes."

There has been speculation that Sir Dodd is interested in becoming King himself one day.

"Not likely," stated Dr. Holeman. "It's difficult for a knight to become king these days."

Sir McCain and Sir Obama, currently bidding for the position of Prime Minister, were not available for comment today.

"As Prime Minister, decision-making is not required. So, avoiding comment makes sense for them at this time," stated Dr. Holeman.

Just heard Thomas Friedman say that after the railroad bubble of the 1800's, we had a railroad system to show for it, and that all we'll have to show for this mortgage crisis are bad derivatives and bad paper!

Then he ranted about how we need to have a Green initiative tied to any bailout.

Uh, Thomas, do you realize that the homes that have been built the past few years are not going to disappear into thin air? There are tons of buying opportunities for legitimate first-time homebuyers ... once this crisis passes, there will be a legitimate increase in home ownership.

I know ... he was in front of the lights and the camera ... I'd probably screw that up, too, if I were in the hotseat. Who am I to talk?

I agree...there will continue to be opportunities for legit people (not speculators and house flippers like Sean and Abreu).
