| Dodd, Conrad told mortgage deals were sweetened |
| 2009-07-28 |
 AP story sez Dem Senators Chris Dodd (Conn) and Kent Conrad (N. Dakota) were both told from the start that they were getting VIP loans from Countrywide. Both have denied they knew they were getting anything but routine treatment. Dodd still sez he got no preferential treatment.Save money on your mortgage! Ask us how! |

| #8 Aren't they supposed to, like, Govern? (as opposed to grab as much money and power they can). I think the Legislature, executive,and Judicial branches need a big 'RESET'. Fire them all and hold new election - and none of the current or past crop can participate. |

| #7 I don't think anything will happen to Dodd or Conrad. Congress is careful to insulate themselves against any shit from back-flowing. The so-called Health Care reform is beginning to look like a hugh governmental affirmative action and vote-buying scheme. Sotomayor's views are as biased and prejudiced as BO's. She blew the firefighter's original case. He inserted himself into the Cambridge affair for his buddy, Prof Gates and was way, way off base. The appointment of Sotomayor is a naked attempt to obtain the Hispanic vote (legals and potentially legals) and enscounce the donks in power for years to come. |

| #6 The fact that we have assclowns like Waxman and Pelosi and Dodd and Rangel running Congress, and that narcissistic POS Obama as President, and are sending an affirmative action case like Sotomayer to the Supreme court... that's plent proof that the world isn't just unfair, its damned stupid too. Problem is, nature isn't kind to the stupid in the long run. Punishment comes harshly. |

| #5 in a fair world, these men would be tarred and feathered - then sent to jail for corruption. |

| #3 I'm sure he'll be sufficiently contrite at the press conference after the Ethics Commitee whacks his pee pee. Of course, we should all...move on. |
