If Gaylord Conrad is a friend of Angelo, then Byron Dorgan and Earl Pomeroy are friends of a friend of Angelo.

After Dodd and Conrad are done explaining, and documenting, their special relationship with Angelo, perhaps they could take a moment to explain why this bill, which clearly directs the use of taxpayer funds to bail out Angelo’s floundering mortgage company, is not subject to the “Pay-Go” rules the Democrats spent so much of the past two years braying about.

How much is this “Friends of Angelo” legislation going to cost taxpayers over the next 5 years and where is that funding supposed to come from?

Earlier Rob asked if it was time for Conrad to step down.  At that point there was no evidence that Countrywide had benefited.  Now that it’s shown that Conrad bent the rules to benefit the mortgage industry (of which countrywide would be the biggest) it’s time.
