There are reports today that Rethug consulting firm DCI was paid $2 million 3 years ago to kill legislation that would have regulated and trimmed Freddie Mac, the recently bailed out mortgage lending giant whose questionable lending practices contributed to the catastrophic housing/ credit meltdown. DCI's chief executive, Doug "It Hasn't Been A" Goodyear, is an active Rethug consultant, having recently been paid to manage the Rethug hate fest in September.
Remember this the next time you hear McSleazy or his cohorts yapping about "Obama's buddies at Fannie and Freddie," since they're firm believers in the notion that if you repeat a lie often enough, enough people might believe it.
