Paper to blame for IndyMac troubles? Article Launched: 07/15/2008 10:38:12 PM PDT
Blog Read more from Larry Wilson's Public Eye blog In a bit of a stretch, some had been blaming New York Sen. Charles Schumer for the IndyMac Bank collapse.
A member of the Senate's banking committee, Schumer in late June wrote and then made public letters to federal agencies saying the Pasadena bank "could face failure if prescriptive measures are not taken quickly."
Now, in a lollapalooza of a stretch, Schumer himself is blaming - get this - the newspaper you have spread out before you on your breakfast table or computer screen for IndyMac's demise.
This is from The Wall Street Journal on Monday: "A June 28 story in IndyMac's hometown newspaper, the Pasadena Star-News, had a 'very inflammatory headline,' Sen. Schumer said. It read: 'IndyMac appears close to collapse."'

Maybe the Pasadena Star-News will learn a lesson as the Donks stab them in the back.
Not likely...
Unfortunately, Chuckie Schumer is my senator. Good thing we have two. Oh, wait ...
Charles Schumer is abuffoon.
“Chucky ScrewYouMer”...
When I was a little kid, my mother warned me that if I kept making faces, my face would be stuck that way...
The questions are who shorted Indy Mac recently and what is their association with Chuckie?
Bit of a stretch? Chuckie did everything but hack into the NYSE ticker and make it say "Avast ye scurvy dogs, IndyMac is about to go belly up!"
Rush has taken to calling him Charles “Chuck You” Schumer.
[... In late June Schumer wrote and then made public letters to federal agencies saying IndyMac “could face failure if prescriptive measures are not taken quickly.” Now, Schumer is blaming the Pasaden Star News for IndyMac’s demise...]
Where is the cartoon of Schumer holding the severed head of
Uncle Sam in his right hand and a bloody sword in his left captioned...
“WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?”!
LOL, you nailed it! :)
“When an inkstained wretch utilizing in-depth research techniques googles “Michael Perry San Marino,” one of the first things that comes up for the former IndyMac chairman and CEO is his political contributions. OK, 1,000 bucks to Dave Dreier - that is his congressman, after all. Another grand to the Mortgage Bankers Association PAC - nothing odd about that. But $2,300 - the maximum allowed by election laws - to Chris Dodd for President Inc.? The longshot Connecticut candidate, who is a Democrat to boot? Ah - there’s your answer. Christopher J. Dodd is the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. Didn’t work out. But you can’t blame a fellow for playing the system?”
Maybe Michael Perry should have contributed $2300 to Senator Schumer. I think that would have saved his Bank from collapse.
Schumer gets his money, or he blows the whistle on you. Let that be a warning.

This might not be far fetched. Here in Washington state Washington Mutual is on the list to fail. Although reports are saying they likely will not. However, yesterday I saw a huge line of people at Washington Mutual, yards away there was a Bank of America with a few people. I immediately wondered if just the publicity alone will cause a run on the bank and subsequently a failure.
Right, I forgot. But keep posting it on all Chucky-stuff. That rat has got to go...
