Dodd’s Bad Year Continues: Prostate Surgery Next

The best thing about U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd’s announcement today that he has an early form of prostate cancer, is that he has the Cadillac of healthcare benefits, thanks to you taxpayers.

He’s having a news conference in Hartford right now. He just told reporters he’s spoken with other senators about the disease. “I don’t expect any real delay and obviously even while periods of recuperation, it doesn’t mean you’re off in isolation,” Dodd said. “So I’ll be home and a light schedule is recommended. For a week or I think they want you to just take it easy, but I anticipate by the end of the month I’ll be out and about.”
