VIDEO: When Glenn Beck DESTROYED Richard Blumenthal Conn. Senator Heir-Apparent
The Lid/You Tube ^ | 1/6/10 | The Lid

Posted on 01/06/2010 9:59:43 AM PST by Shellybenoit

Chris Dodd has made official today, a year from now there will be a new Senator in Connecticut. Richard Blumenthal presently Connecticut Attorney General, has all but been anointed as Dodd's successor.

Some of you who live outside the Nutmeg State may be wondering where you had heard Blumenthal's name before. That's because on May 30th of 2009, he appeared on the Glenn Beck show, where the Attorney General was ripped for not having the least bit of concern for the law when he went after AIG bonuses(see video below).

"Look, you know what you have done, know what you have done?" Beck said. "You have - you are an insult to George Washington, sir. George Washington made it very clear that we are a respecter of laws, not of men. For your own political gain, you have decided to go after these people at AIG because it is a popular thing."

Gee whiz, why would Connecticut want a Senator who is a political opportunist with no regard for the law. Oh wait....that would make him the perfect successor to Chris Dodd.

A more perfect democrats, because he has yet to take the mass of graft Dodd has accumulated, so this democrat is ‘pristine’ in democrat voter eyes. Because Glenn Beck is ignored—except for ridicule and hate speech about him—nothing Glenn accomplished in exposing the criminal enterprise member will effect democrap voters.

BTW, the full video available through the glennbeckclips.com website—where you can find the exact day of the program and replay it—is even more devastating because Glenn exposed the absolute feckeless commieness of this supposed defender of the law, this typical democrat oligarch, who not only couldn’t cite a law for his actions but eventually admitted there was no law yet ‘there should be’?

THE CROWN PRINCE - THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LIFE OF DICK BLUMENTHAL
Hartford Courant, Sunday, October 3, 2004
By Elizabeth Hamilton, investigative reporter

EXCERPT It requires a good bit of effort to find out how much the Blumenthal's paid for their home -or, for that matter, what it even looks like. Search the land records in Greenwich Town Hall and you won’t find the Blumenthal name anywhere.

The 5,608-square-foot house, with a market value of $2.5 million in 2001, was transferred for $1 and ``other considerations’’ to the ``John and Abigail Trust,’’ named by his wife, Blumenthal said, after the second president and his wife. ``[Cynthia] didn’t want it to be reported that the attorney general bought a house on such and such a street,’’ Blumenthal said, adding that they own their home.

Given Blumenthal’s financial disclosure statement, it would be implausible that they wouldn’t. The statement lists 13 trust funds held in either his wife’s or children’s names, and one blind trust held jointly by him and his wife.

Cynthia Blumenthal is the daughter of Peter Malkin, a Greenwich real estate mogul who heads the investor group that owns the Empire State Building and other Manhattan properties. She and her children owned partnership interests in 30 real estate ventures, including the Empire State Building, according to the 2002 disclosure.

Wanna bet? This bum has been the AG in Connecticut for over 20 years. Do you really think he hasn't been getting greased all those years?

I lived in CT many moons ago. Blumenthal is the very definition of "shyster."

So, Richard Blumenthal seems to have married a bag of money too, just like Senator Long Face in the neighboring state.

Well, Dickie's bag is better looking than John "I fought in Viet Nam" Kerry's bag.

Cynthia Blumenthal on the right.
