> Link please. Huh? How can you NOT know about this? msnbc.msn.com; Did you even bother to read the article you posted to me? Apparently not. It says: "A non-government ethics watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, wrote to the House and Senate ethics committees Friday requesting that they investigate Dodd and Conrad, and determine whether any other lawmakers received preferential mortgages through the Countrywide program. "It's clearly a violation" of Senate ethics rules, which bar lawmakers from getting loans more favorable than those available to the general public, said Melanie Sloan, CREW's executive director. "But it's very hard to know what to do about a violation that the members were unaware of."" The man who, more than any other, was responsible for the subprime mortgage crisis, and you don't know anything about him? And the guy is taking money from the mortgage industry and you don't know about it? The man most responsible for the subprime mess was GW Bush.
