Corrupt.
The democratic party in one word.
Gee, the NYT forgot to put his (D New Jersey) in there where it belongs
naw!
Kind of like John Edwards selling his DC townhouse to a Saudi National and retainin $100,000 earnest money deposit. Deal fell through months later and Edwards kept the money.
Sorry, I don't remember the whole story, but wasn't one of the issues the MSM and Dims kept making such a big deal about wrt Duke Cunningham was a mortgage loan to a friend and/or supporter?
Vindication that I don't live in the most corrupt state in the union (MI) although it seems it at times.
So I take it this means the investors in the investment company were the actual donors. Remind me never to invest in a Democraps investment company. ..Or kiss the money goodbye.
As I read this, I had to think of the viciuos racial envy that Jesse Jackson must feel; "whitey can get it on and then give her a half million out of his own pocket with no problem and I gotta swipe three hundred K from one of my charities to buy Shanequa and her brat a house in California, that's racism in America!"
Shouldn't the MSM be screaming for Corzine to apologize and then resign or is this another one of those Liberal double standard things?
Proof -- that the Democrats and Unions have been "in bed" together from day 1!
That was one expensive "girl friend".....
Or -- was it hush money?
Semper Fi
The senator said on Wednesday that an investment company he owns gave her the mortgage, then canceled it in December 2004
wouldn't SEC be interested in that kind of activity?

New Jersey - Corruption and Scandal BUMP LIST
Land records at the Hunterdon County clerk's office show that on Dec. 18, 2002, Ms. Katz was granted a $470,000 mortgage from JSC Investments L.L.C., a company owned solely by Mr. Corzine. A deed filed in the clerk's office indicates that Ms. Katz used $361,000 of the loan to buy her husband's share of their home in Bloomsbury, N.J. Ms. Katz and her husband, Larry McKim, later divorced.
Then on Dec. 9, 2004 - one week after Mr. Corzine formally began his candidacy for governor - the mortgage was canceled.
Mr. Corzine said the timing of the mortgage cancellation was coincidental. After a busy year spent in the Senate and preparing to run for governor, he said, he did not pay close attention to his financial matters until mid-November. As he reviewed his finances, he said, he decided to forgive the loan because Ms. Katz was facing significant financial pressure.
"I didn't want to leave her with a difficult financial burden," he said. "I had the ability to help her, so I did."
Both Mr. Corzine and Ms. Katz said that the money had nothing to do with the union's endorsement of his campaign and that it was given with absolutely no stipulations or promises
"Zero," said Mr. Corzine, who has enjoyed wide support among union leaders in New Jersey and in Washington since his election to the Senate in 2000.
Mr. Corzine said he did not think their financial dealings would present even the appearance of a conflict of interest because Ms. Katz is one of several major union leaders who negotiate with legislators and members of the state administration. Her union represents more than 16,000 members in New Jersey in the public and private sector, according to its Web site, making it the largest of the union's locals in the country....

COMMENT: Nothing undercuts our legal system as the unfair administration of justice. Democrats feel they are exempt from legal accountability for their actions. Corzine should not be immune from prosecution. From an election perspective, this is a disqualifying event.

Sigh. Well, look at Corzine and Katz---the happy couple. Seems like old times----reminds one of the McGreevey--Golan Cipel prom picture.
Golan Cipel----ex-Gov McGreevey's love bug who he installed as the state's $110,000 Homeland Security director but Golan could not get security credentials b/c he was an Israeli.
I wonder if Carla is an American? If not, no problem. Corzine could install her as Homeland Security Director (poster laughs uproariously).
"Corzine Gave $470,000 Loan to Head of New Jersey Union"
Shouldn't the headline be: "Corzine Gave $475,000 to Girlfriend"?
Why has the NY Times tried to complicate this? And why did they bury his party affiliation?
(These are all rhetorical questions of course.)
Well well...........look what we have here!
Nothing will happen to this guy....this is standard operating procedure.
