Who Owns Conrad’s Vacation Home In Bethany Beach?

• June 16, 2008

In an earlier post I accused Senator Kent “I Love VIP Loans” Conrad of lying about who owns his $1.4 million vacation home in Bethany Beach, Delaware. In disclosure data for Senator Conrad compiled by the Bismarck Tribune (the Tribune doesn’t note it, but I got this information earlier in an email and it was attributed to the Associated Press) is this information:

Narrative: Conrad also has a house in Bethany Beach, Del. that is owned by his wife, Lucy Calautti. Calautti is a lobbyist for Major League Baseball.

According to data from the local county recorder, however, both Conrad and Calautti are listed as the owners of the property.
Now, however, the actual 2007 disclosure forms have now been released (you can download them from here) and nowhere in them is the Bethany Beach house disclosed, nor is there any indication of the “narrative” above placing ownership of the property with Calautti.
Which leaves the question: Where did the Associated Press get that information?

good question.

A guess: It was an addendum, not really part of the form but submitted to be in the hard-copy folder.

These are complicated forms that undoubtedly take a while to fill out, probably by their accountant. So there’s some lead time and it might be difficult to redo them with additional information. So you tack on an extra page that isn’t official but reporters will accept the information from.

From the comments of the aricle that Rob posted this sums it up really well…

” Gloria – we are not ignorant of the things Conrad has done, we are not ignorant that Conrad touts making ND a welfare state, we are not ignorant that his vote was one of the deciding factors in the hughest tax increase in history (1993), we are not ignorant of the lie Conrad said in 1986 about not running for Congress is the budget wasn’t balanced and using slimy words to get around that LIE, we are not ignorant of the criticism of the President from Conrad on not understanding and being out of touch with reality, when it fact its Conrad who is out of touch with reality by thinking that everyone in the country can call the CEO of the company to get a loan and not expect a preferred rate, we are not ignorant of how Conrad touts himself to be so smart on budgets and finance and then doesn’t realize that his rate was better than others, we are not ignorant of how Conrad’s story has changed over the last couple days, we are not ignorant that Conrad is trying to say “TRUST ME – I DESESRVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION BECAUSE I AM A SENATOR”. No, I say is Conrads supporters who are ignorant because they won’t admit how what Conrad did was unethical, rather they blame the opposition. “

Sounds plausible, but if the info originated with Conrad it’s a lie.
