Former Senator Dodd behind SOPA bill

As many know by now, a number of websites and bloggers are either black today or otherwise recognizing The Stop Online Piracy Act.

Ever since former Senator Chris Dodd retired from the Senate and miraculously was hired immediately for this unlikely job with Hollywood, I knew something was coming. Not done with our financial system, let’s move on to the Internet.  The video below will tell you all you need to know about our corrupt system. A great snarky rant.

The Motion Picture Association of America, which is counting on Mr. Dodd to revive its diminished influence, announced that he would take over on March 17 as its chairman and chief executive. The job, which will pay about $1.5 million a year, will require Mr. Dodd to push a Hollywood agenda in Washington that includes a more aggressive government stance against piracy and an effort to persuade China to lift limits on the distribution of Western movies.

And considering that Rubio co-sponsored the PIPA bill, this is fairly significant news. More at  Hot Air
