No Bad Deed Goes Unrewarded in This Administration
Today Ameriquest set aside $325 million in anticipation of a flood of
lawsuits from defrauded customers. And at the same time, financial
reporters have uncovered some very tricky accounting gimmicks used to
keep the mortgage industry looking healthy.
President Bush had a quick and decisive response: Today he nominated
Ameriquest’s owner and chairman to be ambassador to the Netherlands.
Even with the company sinking in lawsuits over its predatory lending
practices, Mr. Bush had a compelling reason to appoint the CEO of
Ameriquest to the ambassadorial post: Mr. Arnall and his wife
"contributed $5 million to a pro-Bush committee in 2003 and chipped in
another $1 million for Bush’s second inauguration party." Arnall, his
wife and their companies "have been the biggest political contributors
to Bush since 2002."
Never let it be said that this president let little things like
defrauding the public stand in the way of taking care of his friends.
