The Center for Responsive Politics has just released a study of Bernie Madoff’s political donations. Since 1991, he and his wife have given $238,200  - 88% of it to Democrats, including Sens. Frank Lautenberg (D., NJ), Hillary Clinton (D, NY), and Ron Wyden (D., OR).

    In watching interviews with Madoff’s victims, a common theme was fairly evident. Most of Madoff’s victims blamed Madoff and the Federal Government, in that order. Not single one that I saw (even when asked!) owned up to any personal responsibility at all. Their lack of conducting due diligence never entered into their consciousness. Bernie was like them, they trusted those who trusted him, therefore,they trusted him. Of course there were those who were ignorant of where their money was going (feeder funds), but even that ignorance, which is partially excusable, exhibits a woeful lack of attention. I attribute this to greed (unrealistic returns in a down market). Lastly, many of them put all their eggs in one basket. Silly silly people.
