    The conpeople use the larceny in our hearts against us.

    Also, this Mishpocheh business is familiar -- when Mozillo asked why he needed his half billion, his response was that he had a "big family." And guess what? His sister wrote a really sweet editorial saying what a great guy he was and that we should stop picking on him.
