Instapundit and the Hartford Courant are both doing a fine job exposing this blowhard’s crooked ways, but here’s a nice illustration of how our Senator’s “coming clean by cleaning up” refinancing deal saved him $7,000 plus a year. He waited to disavow the Countrywide sweetheart deal until after rates had dropped below he’d received as a favor and he still refuses to release the paperwork on those loans, despite promising to do so months ago. I’m beginning to think that the fellow isn’t on the up=and-up!
Didn’t your favorite community organizer get a special deal from a “friend” (now a convicted felon) to buy his ~$1.5MM Chicago house?
And didn’t the community organizer’s wife get a “special” pay raise from ~$100K/yr to ~$300K/yr by Univ of Chicago Med Ctr, upon the community organizer becoming a Senator?
Would expect nothing less of a card-carrying politician…gotta get paid for public “service”
Captain Renault: I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
Ya think?
