The Senate Ethics Committee on Friday dismissed complaints against Democratic Sens. Chris Dodd (Conn.) and Kent Conrad (N.D.) over their participation in Countrywide Financial Corp.’s VIP lending program.
But the panel cautioned the senators that they should have “exercised more vigilance” in their dealings with the mortgage giant to avoid an appearance of preferential treatment.
Yeah right, like anyone in the Senate, especially the Senate “ethics” committee (isn’t that an oxymoron or something?) was going to find any wrongdoing by Mr. Chris “I’m a VIP” Dodd. The entire cesspool called the United States Senate should be cleared by voters this next go-round and we need to start fresh. I’d vote for your neighbor, really. They’d have a better understanding of the hard-working majority of this country than these buffoons we call politicians. Rat bastards.
