Mortgage bailout get from Countrywide Mortgage?

1. it's amazing how little they will sell out for

You figure they'd at least demand a $50,000 payout before they sell out.

2. "individuals associated with the mortgage lending giant"

and the biggest amount is 37k?

Honestly, that's a pretty trivial amount, isn't it?

3. So what amount is your threshold for impropriety?

The subprime meltdown has been going on for 2-3 years already, Countrywide was the largest player in this mess. Wouldn't you think that politician should stay away from any appearance of being influenced?
