Now Why In the World Would They Do That?

Bush's 'Culture of Corruption' is gone, so shedding some light on these records - easily gotten, mind you - shouldn't reveal any wrong doing. Should it? I mean... transparency and the most ethical congress ever and such... ya know.

I just don't get it... (walks away shaking head...) Oh, and if you are a supporter of the Democrats, just tell me why a little nosing around wouldn't be a good thing... or even a neutral thing? If there's, uh, nothing to hide....

Democrat resists subpoenaing VIP mortgage records:

"WASHINGTON (AP) - House Democrats have declined to subpoena available records that might reveal whether other members of Congress got discounted VIP mortgages from subprime lender Countrywide Financial Corp. similar to the sweetheart deals given Democratic Sens. Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad.

Republicans say they are willing to risk that the records now held by Bank of America may show that GOP lawmakers were also 'friends of Angelo' who got preferential terms on personal mortgages at the behest of then-Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo.

Countrywide, after losing billions of dollars on defaulted subprime loans that triggered last year's financial crisis and the consequent recession, was taken over by Bank of America a year ago."
