Well Fannie Mae was/is noted for working both sides of the aisle hard in order to maintain its unique position and forestall regulatory oversight, etc. Still, her overall contributions are extremely liberal, not surprising....

The WaPo article refers to her as having aspirations to be a future Sec'y of Defense!!!!! THAT is another reason no Democrat should be elected president in our lifetimes!!! People like Sandy Burglar and Jamie Gorelick should never, ever have been allowed anywhere near national security matters and must never again be placed in such positions.

Michelle Malkin has some excellent comments on the Fannie Mae accounting scandal:

"If Martha Stewart is the face of capitalist excess, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the poster children for government-sponsored gluttony. The potential fall of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae could rival the savings and loan collapse of the 1980s. Too bad the Martha bashers, blind to the far greater catastrophes of market socialism, won't pay attention until it's too late."
