7. Probably because he has the "Dick Cheney Snarl" and comb-over down pat.

"Snarl, blargh, rrrrr . . .Dodd . ...snarl . . . TaxNspend, snarllll"

3. Merriam-Webster Dictionary would seem to paint him as a liar.

Main Entry: min·ion
Pronunciation: \ˈmin-yən\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French mignon darling
Date: circa 1500
1 : a servile dependent, follower, or underling
2 : one highly favored : idol
3 : a subordinate or petty official

Of course, everything that he says and does paints him as a liar.

5. They'll say absolutely anything.
Doesn't matter what they have previously said or done or even if it is on tape. Republicans have apparently calculated that the attention span of the average American is too short to remember or care about their historical record. It is appalling.

8. A steady diet of Faux and their sister McPravda affiliate CNBC will do that to you.
Worse than horse tranquilizers.

12. Democrats have to be careful--if they are too timid on finance reform, they will make this look true
