S&P cuts WaMu to 'poor quality'

From MarketWatch:
[S&P] ... lowered Washington Mutual Inc.'s counterparty credit rating to "poor quality" of CCC/C from BB-/B. "The downgrade was due to the increased likelihood that a potential sale of the company may not involve the whole company, which increases the risk of default for holding company creditors," said Victoria Wagner, an S&P credit analyst.
