Bernie Madoff and Political Contributions



Bernie Madoff is off to prison for his big Ponzi scheme.Seems like a majority of the media has remianed pretty mum about Madoff's political contributions. I wonder if it's because a majority of his donations went to Democrats including Hillary Clinton, Charles Schumer, Christopher Dodd, and National Abortion Rights Action League.

Usually when big financial scandals like this break the surface, we hear from the media about the political contributions and ties of "the crook"...think Ken Lay and Enron...also think Jack Abramoff...all of who donated to predominantly Republican causes...

Hmmm...
