Rich Lowry's tongue in cheek article on June 23 08 is a hoot. Not one, but two (so far) Democrat Senators have been caught with their greedy little hands in the till via sweet heart mortgage loans from Country Wide. Even though they are on the Senate Banking Committee (Dodd) and Budget Committee (Conrad) they claim ignorance of getting 'special VIP" personal loans even though they regulate deal with the industry almost daily.
We are supposed to believe they are too stupid to see a bribe that saves them thousands of dollars from the industry they already receive massive amounts of money come election time- or any other time for that matter.
Note also the lack of coverage in the MSM. If this were Republican Senators it would be fodder on late night TV comedians and nightly news casts for at least a week. Was it even covered on network or Cable TV newscasts? I can't tell you- been out of the loop crossing the mighty Lake Michigan on the SS Badger last week. Have a dollar that says it wasn't mentioned on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC or CNN or.......
