Subject: Naylor should report the useful housing bill background --
Wednesday, NPR's Brian Naylor said, "It may have been pride of authorship, but the Housing Bill's Democratic sponsor, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd of Connecticut said, 'The stakes couldn't be higher...'"
Pride of authorship? The key language was taken almost word-for-word from Bank of America, prime suitor for Countrywide, the major failing lendor.
Naylor continued that "Dodd may be guilty of a slight exaggeration...." Dodd got a sweetheart loan deal from Countrywide's CEO, so he and other mostly Democratic senators may be guilty of much more that NPR decided to report.
Don't make it so easy for political hacks to succeed.
