The Post really had us going here for a second, because this headline could be misunderestimated to mean that George H. W. Bush, our 41st president, was being indicted for mortgage fraud. For an all-too-brief moment, we thought, well, it's not Dubya, but it's a start! Unfortunately, the 41st president remains untouchable, and the 41 in question here is a crowd of attorneys, loan brokers, accountants charged with mortgage fraud involving tens of millions of dollars across New York state. Screw them, too, but don't tease us Post.
