So what? I really don’t understand why this would matter?

A former Countrywide employee, Robert Feinberg, said that Ms. Gorelick's business was handled through the firm's VIP lending department in California, and the staff there was aware of her position as a senior Fannie executive.

"I know 100% she went through the VIP department," Mr Feinberg said, adding that VIP clients such as Ms. Gorelick typically received a one percentage point reduction in their interest rate.

They better start investigating every industry that gives special treatment and freebies to VIPs - while Gorelick will be the center of the investigations rightfully so, she does need a mortgage - should she have taken it out through Fannie?

Ok, so she was given special treatment? It's still doesn't matter! Here's my point: Until enough people rise up and raise total hades, it doesn't matter! Do you really think people care about a politician getting special treatment on a home mortgage? You and I know what this is, but the problem is until the mentality changes it's always going to be this way. These librals probably need to be behind bars. One of the things I've noticed the most about the Clinton era is the MONEY, not the dalliances. While we were busy frothing at the mouth about "Monica," (Which was warrented) the Clinton/Gore/dems were busy raking it in for the future!

Always follow the money! Always!
