   Shocked, shocked that this sanctimonious pig got a loan with a better rate than those of us with 780 and 792 scores and didn’t have a clue.

   I’d be willing to bet that his credit score isn’t even that high. I read one of the chain emails… (for what it is worth) the other day that said there are 19 members of congress accused with bad check writing, 71 can’t get a credit card with their credit score and 8 have been accused of shoplifing. I have been trying to research this a little on my off time.

   Just more political partying at the expense of we the people. Politics as usual. Why is this even news? Don’t we have more important things to worry about like the children and non-existent man made global warming on Mars?

   Do as I say not as I do … No different than “cold cash” Jefferson … it’s still a form of bribery … the cash just didn’t physically change hands … Yep … San Fan Nan has some great “ethics” in her Congress … NOT!!! …

   I assume one has to be Voted Into Prosperity to obtain one of those “special” VIP loans….

   Has anyone looked into the financial records of Dodd, and Conrad, and compared them with the ones the provided when they first got elected? THAT would be enlightening to say the least.

   So, if a company puts a wad of money in your pocket and you didn’t ask them for it, it’s not a bribe? Culture of Corruption indeed!

   I heard that cockroaches can live off the glue in cardboard boxes forever, so I don’t see why these guys need so much special treatment.

   Cockroaches are an advanced form of life compared to politicians. I don’t understand why people are so shocked to hear these guys are corrupt. What does it take to make folks understand that taking bribes and handouts is exactly and specifically how they get elected, stay elected, and survive after they get thrown out? It’s called “campaign contributions”, but it’s still bribery.

    Sen. Dodd needs to get his nose out of the oil industry’s business and mind his own house(s).

    Who knows, maybe Citgo has a special pump for politicians.

    Ok…I’ll bite, and play the troll role here. While we enjoy this when it happens to Dems, we know Repubs do these shady little things, too.

    I never understood the desire to be a politician. You can’t please everyone but you seem honor-bound to try. It’s a thankless job…oh wait…that’s right…it’s sooooo easy to get your hand in the cookie jar. Unfortunately, it sucks when you get caught.

    It could be worse, though. Dodd took the Eliot Spitzer approach, but for him, it was the *mortgage* industry he was playing around with. *out*

    Kiss your butt goodbye, Criminal Dodd.

    OH, and thanks San Fran Nan, nice job yet again for all the promises….ethics and all, wasn’t it?
    Is there a Dem in office we can trust today?
    There aren’t that many R’s that I can fully trust.

    Who says the Democrat Marxists aren’t entrepreneurs? One thing Democrats do have, that’s a culture of corruption, they all have it.

    Marc Rich anyone? Who was it that arranged that Clinton pardon anyway? Why that would be one of Comrade Obama’s VP search team, Eric Holder. Hmmmm

    Isn’t it funny how, since the 2006 midterm election, we no longer hear Nancy Polosi talking about cleaning up the so-called “culture of corruption” in Washington?

    This really upsets me because it hits home just how hard joe and mary are working for these damn buttheads that don’t do their jobs, grab all the pork they can and then lie cheat and steal to get these and other sweetheart deals. Like Billy Jeff – I bet they feel our pain. NOT.

    Let me get this straight:

    1. If you’re anonymous Joe Schmoe you don’t get sweetheart deals for your home’s mortgage. Check.

    2. If you’re somebody who’s a politician, rich, famous or Chris Dodd, you will get an automatic gimme from Countrywide. Check.

    3. If you’re said politician…. oh, I don’t know, Obummer or Dodd, you can rail against Countrywide and the subprime industry while getting sweetheart real estate/mortgage deals. Check.

    4. If you’re the old media, such hypocrisy is not news. If it happened to somebody with an R next to their names or are Conservative, it is news. Check.

    Lesson: Do as I say, not as I do… right, Dems?

    Dodd the fraud? I’m shocked and appalled (that he could keep being reelected).

    I believe that if you dig deep enough, you will find his hands in the middle of the Arthur Anderson/Enron debacle as well. Read http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0102/morris1.asp
    This can be verified independently from the toe sucker as well, but it is a nice summary.

    Remember the Lippo Group? Well, Dodd was DNC chairman then and in the middle of the scandal
    http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/election/october96/finance_reform_10-21.html

    The list goes on. He is as dirty as his father was in CT politics.

    As a Dem he was rewarded for his activities. If he were a Republican, there would be several Dem investigations and an eventual resignation.

    Dodd is one of the most corrupt and damaging politicians in government.

    The same old same old.

    Dodd is famous for making a waitress sandwich with Ted Kennedy during their drunken girl chasing days.

    Dodd is also famous for having an affair with a Sandanista intelligence officer.

    Dodd has never done an honest day’s work his entire life.

    I’m from Ct. Pity me for having to endure one Dodd landslide after another.

    While there’s lots of blame to go around, lawmakers are likely to focus on how to rein in lenders, brokers, appraisers and, not insignificantly, mortgage investors.

    Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) last week proposed a predatory lending bill.

    That bill is geared toward permanently expanding mortgage borrower protections and weeding out unscrupulous lenders.

    Wonder if it will weed out Country Wide?
