I just checked and so far nothing in the Forum or Herald papers about Kent Conrad waiving budget rules to help his Countrywide buddies.

A couple years ago the Forum went into full protection mode for Byron Dorgan.  What they did was ignore most of the news then ran a super friendly interview on a Sunday.  Of course the interview was full of holes but the Forum didn’t care.  After that interview they never mentioned the scandal again. 

And like then, Forum Property readers won’t know the worst parts of the scandal.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that same thing is going to happen, maybe even this weekend.
