Great. Thanks.

I’d love to hear that hundreds of phone calls were made to his office.

Another superb example of that old saying: “Do as I say, not as I do.”

The thing that makes it so sweet is that it involves Mr. Dodd, who is a creep and shirker.

I wonder if David Gregory will cover this story? Oh no, I guess he won’t, because his faith forbids him to do so.

In a related development, Sen. Obama said today, “that’s not he Chris Dodd I know.”

NOTED: he got two mortgages

I can wait to see ABC & CNN report from the steps of congress, the Senate and House Republicans demanding Dodd step down from his committee chair.

I have a feeling that “That’s not the ________ _________ I knew” will be the theme of the Obama campaign.

LOL. Actually, I thought you’d like to see what the local news is saying.

Disgusting, but now a common practice in Washington on both sides of the aisle.

Hastert and Boehner both are earmark kings and have made millions because of them. The Dems are probably worse (they pontificate about being the honest players in the culture of corruption), but I am stunned about how they ALL behave.

I wish we could get rid of all of them and start over with honest people.

[RexBeach]

Yes, that and the whining. A lot of whining coming up soon.

Ok. I am not getting it. I got a Countrywide mortgage with no points or fees but it was on a second property and my primary is with Countrywide.
I always thought it was a common occurrence.

[doug from upland]

MY GUESS IS THAT YOU DIDN’T GET HIS INTEREST RATE

Washington (AP) – Senator Chris Dodd reportedly received two mortgages under a special Countrywide Financial Corporation program that gave preferential interest rates to “friends” of the company’s chairman.

Dodd, a Democrat, is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.

Thanks. Great work as always.

[Brilliant]

Yes, of course, that will fix everything. Pay back the $70,000 bribe, too, while you’re at it. If you get caught stealing, just give back the money, and all is forgiven.

[svcw]

Rats. You are probably correct.
And here I thought may just maybe I’d be an insider. ;->

Here is my Story on it, Doug. Take a look, and see how we are tying Schumer to the larger picture

We will be staying on these two..

[doug from upland]

Yes, we will keep up the heat on the “Culture of Corruption.”

NOTED: he got two mortgages

It's been a few years since I got my mortgage. Getting one without fees and points is unheard of.

Dare I say it? Such a deal can only be categorized as HUGH and SERIES!

That may be, but if you read the first paragraph of the WSJ story, you will find it was indeed a preferential loan. Notwithstanding Dodds' being on the Banking committee, the damn committee was investigating Countrywide! And he gets preferential tratment, as a committe member! At the very least its unethical..
