Senator Dodd (D-Conn) Now Says He Didn’t Know VIP Meant Perks!
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) called for a Congressional investigation into the Countrywide Congressional Mortgage Scandal on Tuesday. Hensarling is the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a conservative bloc that represents more than half the House GOP membership

Two influential Democratic senators and a former Clinton official were caught in a loan sleaze this past week.
Nutroots favorite Senator Chris Dodd (D-Con.) on right, and Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), on left, received special loans that saved them thousands of dollars.
Not only that, but Countrywide also contributed $21,000 to Sen. Dodd’s campaigns.

In fact, Dodd says he viewed the mortgage treatment as a courtesy and that he didn’t know VIP meant perks!!
Senator Dodd is chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, while Senator Conrad is chairman of the Budget Committee and a member of the Finance Committee.
