If this is true, they should both go to jail.

Lestat,

Not “both"… all!  Moxila, Conrad, Dodd, Johnson, Gorelick, Raines, Holbrooke, Shalala, and Jackson.

If it was Mozila’s private company, and his personal money being loaned, then he is perfectly free to charge whatever the hell he chooses.

But it wasn’t.  And these “VIP” loans violate all kinds of federal rules and statutes.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Conrad took a bribe.  Mozila gave the bribe.  What laws did the others break?

Why would you call the CEO unless you were nudge nudge, wink wink, asking for a special favor.

After all with Kent’s “steller” credit record he could have called the local office and gotten his loan.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

What’s amazing is that he’s such a petty little crook.

Lestat,

You’re a bit premature there.  No illegal quid pro quo has been established yet.  And I suspect you will have a very difficult time getting a conviction on outright bribery… even as stupid as Conrad appears to be.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

I know it’s a dream, but it shouldn’t be.  If any congressman takes anything that is more than de minimus, it should be presumed a bribe.

Well, let’s all take a really deep breath and hold it until the Senate ethics committees takes action against the perps.

You sound like Hillary.

Lestat,

I share your aggravation… especially with the sanctimonious hypocrites who pontificate on how the rest of us should conduct ourselves, and then quietly exempt themselves when they think no one is looking.

But, no… they should be subject to exactly the same lwas, the same regulations, and the same burden of proof as the rest of us.  And exactly the same penalties as well.  No more… no less.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Just out of curiosity… are Conrad’s tax returns made available to the people of North Dakota whose interests he is supposedly representing?

Them’s fightin’ words, Kenny.

Bat, I’ve never seen an hint that he releases his tax returns.

Whistler,

Pity!  Tax returns of public officials can be enormously instructive to those who know how to read them.  John Kerry’s returns are still a source of amusement.

You have to wonder.  What I’m surprised at with this is that Conrad is such a petty little grifter.

Whistler:  Apparently not as ‘petty’ as we thought. 

Wonder how many more of our grifting senators will be unveiled as Mozila-gate unfolds?

I like how this is important everywhere but in ND.
Shameful.

Whistler,

Not only is he “such a petty little grifter” but obviously he’s just not very good at it.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Whistler:  Apparently not as ‘petty’ as we thought.

I would consider taking a $10,000 favor is petty when you are in his position petty. After all he is a US Senator and committee chairman that is very much responsible for spending trillions.  If you’re going to sell your integrity do it for a worthwhile price.

haha!  Well said!

But $10,000 here, $10,000 there… and soon we’re talking REAL money!

pparets,

Everett Dirksen would be appalled at the “petty” value you’ve placed on his mot.

Conrad Says Talk With Countrywide Chief `Serendipity’

What kind of an idiot uses a word like “Serendipity?”
This story was on the front page of print edition of the Fargo Forum but, again, not on its website.
What’s up with that?
Gaylord was on WDAY radio this morning and said he lives in an apartment building in Bismarck.
He’s one of those congenital liars.

Ahhhh… good ‘ol Dirksen of Illinois. Now there was a true analyst! 

Thanks for reminding me.

I think those loans were to “disappear” entirely during the ensuing years. We all know $10,000 is not nearly enough to “sponsor” a 300 billion bail-out.

Heck Senator Dodd’s loan was worth 75,000.00 to him.
That is a lot of money in my opinion.

And that $75K is his money… unlike the billions in taxpayer funds with which he proposes to bail out his friend and benefactor, Angelo.
