You know what’s interesting?  Exxon CEO Lee Raymond gets brought up by Democrats all the time as an example of a nasty, rich white guy who makes too much money.  When gas prices are high liberals invoke Raymond’s yearly income.  When someone wants to kill the estate tax liberals say it’s a tax cut for Mr. Raymond.

But what about, say, Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo?  You know, the guy who we just learned has been giving politicians like Senators Kent Conrad and Chris Dodd “VIP loans?” According to Forbes he makes tens of millions of dollars more per year than Raymond.

So how come we never hear Mozilo’s name invoked in Democrat press releases?

I guess Mozlio is paying off the right people.
