When will this be vetted?

Out of curiosity, I was wondering when the congressional hearings on Fannie & Freddie were going to start.

After all, it appears that shareholders losses in these two companies make the Enron losses look like a vending machine eating my change.

None the less, don't look for a hearing any time soon. Why? If you answer money, that's a good start. It looks like the democrats we're big time winners in the Washington influence game.

Who got the most?

Look at this chart.

1. Dodd, Christopher J

S

D-CT

$133,900

2. Kerry, John

S

D-MA

$111,000

3. Obama, Barack

S

D-IL

$105,849

4. Clinton, Hillary

S

D-NY

$75,550

5. Kanjorski, Paul E

H

D-PA

$65,500

6. Bennett, Robert F

R-UT

$61,499

7. Johnson, Tim

D-SD

$61,000

8. Conrad, Kent

9. Davis, Tom

H

10. Bond, Christopher S 'Kit'

That B. Obama guy did pretty well given that he was in the senate for all of 4 years of the twenty reported in this chart.
