Politico reports that New York Sen. Chuck Schumer raised $1.65 million in contributions from the financial services industry -- nearly twice the amount of any other senator.
Data from the Center for Responsive Politics shows that despite scaling back contributions after last year's financial collapse, Wall Street firms are still investing in the Senate. Of the $10.6 million the industry gave to sitting senators this year, more than $7.7 million has gone to Democrats, defying the traditional notion that Republicans benefit most from Wall Street contributions.

Where do I begin? How about a reference to a front page article in the Sunday New York Times on December 14, 2008 about how Senator Chuck Schumer played a role in weakening the requirements for the credit rating agencies after the senate had passed and called for tougher regulations.
This Senator Chuck Schumer, a greasy bastard from New York, is the next Bernie Madoff!!! He is from New York, and like Madoff does not give a damn about the millions of people that work hard and try to invest for their retirement. How is Senator Chuck Schumer so different than a Bernie Madoff? Senator Schumer has accepted $1.65 million from the securities and investment industry just this year. Why does he do their bidding? Because he knows that not enough Americans understand what he does for that money, or they don't care. But, anyone with an ounce of brains, knows that Wall Street firms did not give Senator Schumer this money because they like his character. This man has no character. He is a plain and simple whore. And, he needs to be called out on it.
Where is the level playing field? There is no level playing field with Senator Chuck Schumer driving the bulldozer. We need another bulldozer operator that knows and respects the people of this country. It is time for the people of New York State to dump Senator Chuck Schumer.
Stay tuned.

These are people with "Evil Genes." Yes, unfortunately, sociopathic/psychopathic personalities are wired for their total lack of compassion and caring for anybody but themselves and their "minions."
Not enough books have yet been written on the hideous legacies left by psychopaths and sociopaths. Men like Schumer and Madoff and the Enron Gang and the Wall Street Gang are a special breed -- they would have been kept in check by a dictatorship, but in a democracy, they are able to fill a certain void that they take pains to create. Nefarious is not a strong enough word. More at diabolical, manipulative, cunning, and cut-throat.
And we prosecute the Mafia!! HA! What a joke! (We should hire them!!)
All that is necesary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

Summer, I like your last line about good men doing nothing.
I must say that I think I will start a list. Right now the two headmasters are Dodd and Franks since they were incharge of committees that were to oversee these financial a**holes. I read Shumer's healthcare proposal that got voted down.
He's on the list. I doubt that this will be a "short list".
