Who's Blogging» Links to this article The Associated Press Monday, February 2, 2009; 12:00 PM HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd says he'll refinance two mortgages that he received through a VIP program from Countrywide Financial Corp. Dodd told reporters Monday that the mortgages for his homes in Washington and East Haddam, Conn., will be refinanced with a different company. Dodd has acknowledged receiving mortgages in 2003 through a VIP program at Countrywide, which was sold to Bank of America Corp. earlier this year and has been the focus of allegations that it gave favorable loan terms to lawmakers. Dodd says he's moving the loans in part because he was wrongfully labeled a friend of Countrywide's former CEO, Angelo Mozilo. Dodd says he never sought special treatment.

You sure it's Daschle he hates? Sounds more likely that he hates the hypocrisy of the democratic party for having dual integrity standards for political posts one for dems and one for GOP. Kenneth, even you couldn't be so naive to think that if the shoe was on the other foot and the this was over a GOP candidate for a post that he'd still be considered...... He'd be out the door so fast it would make your head spin even more than it does now..... Not to mention he'd probably be hounded out of any office he previously held by the media........
