Here's more details on the bribes corrupt REIC poodle Senator Chris Dodd took from Angelo Mozilo and Countrywide Toxic Mortgage

It's amazing to see such obvious and blatant bribery of our elected officials in this day and age.

Oh, wait, no, I stand corrected, it's not too amazing to see this level of corruption in the halls of power in DC today.

The Democrats and Republicans are both corrupted by money, the REIC, lobbyists and corporations, and they f*cked America.

Vote 'em all out HP'ers. All of 'em (except Ron Paul).

Washington needs an enema.

MoziloGate Update: Senate ethics committee proposes Senators disclose their mortgage details, may now be investigating Dodd and Conrad

Never thought I'd see the day. The Senate Ethics Committee doing the right thing. Amazing. Now let's see if the full Senate will vote for this, and if the House will do the same (don't hold your breath).

And then let the good times roll, as we possibly find out one day how bad Mozilo and REIC bribery was.

Ethics Committee Seeks Fuller Disclosure of Senators’ Mortgage Deals

All six members of the Senate Ethics Committee on Tuesday formally proposed more stringent disclosure requirements for senators’ mortgages — a reaction to recent charges that Countrywide Financial gave sweetheart mortgage deals to two Democratic committee chairmen.

Because the committee almost always operates in secret, there is no way to know how long the early stage of its examination of the mortgage deal could take or whether a formal investigation has commenced.

For the time being, at least, the committee has responded publicly only by endorsing increased disclosure requirements.
