[quote]Conrad Says Countrywide Waived Point on His Mortgage (Update1)

By John Hughes and Nadine Elsibai

June 14 (Bloomberg) -- Senator Kent Conrad said he was given preferential treatment on a mortgage from Countrywide Financial Corp. and will write a $10,500 check to charity.

``It appears Countrywide waived one point on my mortgage,'' Conrad, a North Dakota Democrat, said in a statement today in Washington. ``Although I did not ask for or know that I was receiving a discount, and even though I was offered a competitive loan from another lender, I do not want to have received preferential treatment.''

Every time a Republican gets caught, they claim they suddenly found Jesus. Same concept, different scam.

Who said you were wrong and why do you never discuss the topic at hand? Just like being disagreeable and saying what the other side does?

I'm surprised Al Gore has not created a company to broker and cash in on these "conscience credits". He could have quite a business.

I couldn't find anywhere in the article that mentioned who the "charity" is.

Don't quote me, but in the back of my head I seem to remember - from a news broadcast, when the story broke - that it was Habitat for Humanity.

Seems to me the proper thing to do would be to either return the money to the donor or to make the contribution to a state or federal treasury. By donating to charity he has received the benefit of the payoff and now will also get a tax benefit for a charitable donation. These people really think we're stupid.
