Nope. And if you'd READ the responses, you'd see that.
Malfeasance should be ferreted out no matter who's malfeasing--much more so than it currently is. I think there's a richer field to find it among the Republicans, but this Countrywide matter is interesting at the very least. To have Republicans taking on the particular Democrats involved, though, would be a black hole calling the kettle black--and would invite holy hellfire down upon themselves. Which is probably why nothing is going to happen with this.
I'm not saying I like it, I'm just saying: that's politics. The GOP has no high ground from which to deal with this issue. And, in fact, any individual congresscritter (say, Kucinich) who tries to take it on will be marginalized and ignored--a case of "you overlook my shit and I'll overlook yours".
Not saying I like it. But that's politics.
