The Countrywide Scandle Widens

November 17, 2008 | Jim Vicevich | |

From WTIC.COM

The Postal Service is investigating whether the nation’s postmaster general improperly received a sweetheart deal on a mortgage from Countrywide Financial Corp., the chairman of the service’s governing board said.

The answer of  course is … “Deal?  I didn’t know it was a deal.”  Seems to be working for Chris Dodd.

    What's all the fuss? It's just a few percentage points here and there. These people are entitled to these little bennies. They're so much more intelligent, astute and hardworking than the rest of us.

    A deal for me, but not for thee!

    The Postmaster General John Potter also recieved a pay raise of 39% last year. On top of that the Postal Service is almost 3 billion in red for last fiscal year. Must be nice!
