#1 If this were a GOP senator, a group of 8 with sweetheart mortgage deals form the fat cats that caused the credit crisis, and were involved in REGULATING those same people, it would be splashed all over the media.

Where is the press? Why are they laying down on their job?

#2 Dare the Hartford Courant go one step further and suggest to it's readers that they can voices their opinion at Senator Dudd's next election? No, they wouldn't do such a thing. The ethics committee doesn't need to save their rears, the people of that state can do it themselves.

#3 It must've gotten quite hot at their offices in Harftord; up until this editorial, the Courant was covering for Dodd.

#4 Even still, we find it hard to believe the senator would have sold his constituency (or his reputation) so cheaply.

I don't.

#5 In 2003, Sen. Dodd was a member of the Senate Banking Committee, which oversees the mortgage industry. (He's currently the committee's chairman.)

Do Washington elites not have a problem with the ethics of this situation and the apparent conflict of interest?
