Say Anything’s Weekend Poll Conrad, Countrywide and the Forum

Rob’s been doing great work, far better than anyone else in the North Dakota media, on the Kent Conrad special mortgage for special senator scandal.  I thought I’d like to use this as a subject of this weekends late, but better than ever poll.

The one question should be “that the Forum fails to mention that Conrad’s CEO friend who he never

meant met and Countrywide are the biggest offender in our mortgage mess?”

Just like I said the Liberal Media poo pooed it. A lot to do about nothing. I guess ethics standards don’t apply to Democrats again. I think the blogsphere needs to hammer the local media as well…

It occurs to me that if a Republican had been discovered to have obtained a VIP mortgage loan from Angelo Mozilo, a man he claimed not to know, there would be all sorts of calls to find out how many others had been corrupted in this manner and what had been done for Mozilo in exchange.

So maybe its time to find out which other Congressional Pooh-Bahs have been feeding at the Countrywide trough and exactly what they did in return for the preferential financial treatment?

If you read the original story it doesn’t seem to be too wide spread.  Of course on Bush administration that I never heard of was one of them so the press will spin this as a bipartisan scandal. 

Dodd and Conrad are the two big names.  They’ll skate because nobody will give it the attention that it deserves. 

How many stories has Conrad issued so far that turned out not to be true? 

How is this different than taking $10,000 cash?

Of course the huge scandal, old news that never got reported, is the Fannie Mae debacle that this Johnson caused.  An 11 billion dollar accounting error in a public entity and the public still has never heard a thing about it.

There would also be a public lynching. Of course the rules and ethics don’t apply to dems. :(

Whistler since Conrad will donate the money that equals the ammount he recieved to charity we should now just move on and that there is nothing to see here folks. So Conrad will be given a free ride by the Forum, Herald and other ND publications.

That should work for any crime.  Suppose an lawyer charges his client as well workers compensation for the same work.

Should the lawyer, only when he’s caught, be excused for his ethical lapse because he gave the money to his favorite charity?

Of course not!  That also brings up the idiocy of who he’s paying his ill-got gains from.  In the above example the client would be entitled to the refund, not some charity.

Shame on Kent and shame on the state media (much owned by one group) for acting as his defense team.

The donation is ah schucks you caught me so now I can’t be
taken to task on this and we should all move on. Not to mention that this is a serious ethics vilolation and should be invesitgated. Also the fact the he is on the budget and finance committees makes it a serious ethical violation. This should not be swept under the rug.

I see Jack “the partisan hack” felt the need to publish a campaign editorial for Little Lord Pomeroy today.
A “Mea culpa”, perhaps?

An absolutely pathetic partisan editorial. 

The Forum’s a joke.

This is a serious deal the media refused to address and has let Conrad spin it as being no big deal.

Of course the huge scandal, old news that never got reported, is the Fannie Mae debacle that this Johnson caused.  An 11 billion dollar accounting error in a public entity and the public still has never heard a thing about it.

Some of us have.  Johnson is a former Clinton Deputy Attorney General.  So was Jamie Gorelick.  Franklin Raines was Clinton’s Director of Management and Budget before he went back over to Fannie Mae.  All three were found to have been responsible for “cooking the books” Enron style, to make the mortgage giant appear more profitable than it really was, and thus jack up the bonuses they were paying themselves.

Gorelick, incidentally, was the author of the infamous “wall of separation” Justice Department memo, which adamantly disallowed any sort of coordination between international intelligence gathering and analysis and domestic law enforcement.  Widely recognized as having kept FBI and CIA from coordinating their respective pre-9/11 anti-terrorism activities, that memo’s real purpose was most likely to obfuscate the Clinton transfer of nuclear weapons and MIRV guidance technology to China in exchange for illegal reelection campaign contributions.

All three Clintonistas should have gone to jail long ago… especially Jamie Gorelick.
