Home, Sweet Fannie Mae, Home
Well, I hate to be picking on Michele Bachmann all day, but, damn, she’s just making it too easy.
You know how she fusses about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
Well, we should have seen this coming around the bend.
Just a few weeks before Bachmann called for dismantling the programs during a House Financial Services Committee hearing, she and her husband signed for a $417,000 home loan to help finance their move to a 5,200-square-foot golf-course home, public records show. Experts who examined the loan documents for The Washington Post say that they are confident the loan was backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
“Honey,” Juanita says, “one again we see the triumph of an uncluttered mind.”
Thanks to David for the heads-up.
