WASHINGTON — Unqualified home buyers were not the only ones who benefitted from Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s efforts to deregulate Fannie Mae throughout the 1990s.
So did Frank’s partner, a Fannie Mae executive at the forefront of the agency’s push to relax lending restrictions.
Now that Fannie Mae is at the epicenter of a financial meltdown that threatens the U.S. economy, some are raising new questions about Frank's relationship with Herb Moses, who was Fannie’s assistant director for product initiatives. Moses worked at the government-sponsored enterprise from 1991 to 1998, while Frank was on the House Banking Committee, which had jurisdiction over Fannie.

Let’s see, who was president from 1992 to 1998?
You mean the only fannie Frank was preoccupied with belonged to a guy named Moses?
This decadent little grafter oughta be in prison.
On second thought, he’d probably enjoy the extracurricular activities there too much.
Good article but disgusting in more ways than one.
Go down, Moses
Way down in Fannie land....
This will go no where.
Congwessman Fwank is wight to bwame the Wepubwicans. Those Wepubwicans didn't impose hawd enough. Bawney knows about imposing hawd.
Nothing will happen. There are two many crooks from both parties. That’s what this bail out is about. Got to pay people off to keep them from talking.
I was snookered by W. I now regret ever voting for him. He’s no different than the rest.

Do they mean partner in the sense of a$$ pirate?
Barney is a gay man.
Is Barney untouchable? Is he going to be allowed to walk away from this crime unscathed?
I want Barney behind bars along with Chris Dodd, two very powerful men who are acting as a Oligarchy...(Look at those cronies who are covering for Frank and Dodd)
Sickening! They should have been fired...Obama figures into this mess as he prospered also from the FM&FM largess at the hands of the dealers. A POX on their heads....NO OBAMA! he is already up to his neck in dirty politics and planning to tax the holy heck out of every one that makes a dime and GIVE it to people who never earned it nor deserve it. Extortion that is a form of Welfare...that is what Barney's bail out is. Fire the Bum!
Why does it have to be McCain?
To file a class action suit, every US taxpayer has standing...
Frank needs to be perp walked.
There are a few more covering for these rats. McCain and Bush come to mind.

A quick excerpt from the article to save my fello FReepers some time.
Frank’s partner, a Fannie

Interesting: Barney Frank is physically a walrus, in character a pig, and in the cesspool that is our congress, a small, though slimy, fish. While Dems remain in charge, he’s untouchable. If we ever regain power, he’ll swim for a bottom where he can hide, and surface for air as infrequently as possible. But we should be forgiving: aside from doing more than anyone else to derail our economy, he only stole money....
Since this is coming from Fox is BOR taking the ball?
The republicans were in charge and did nothing. I remember Tom Delay all giddy ‘cause they controlled congress and the presidency. He was told to tone it down. He did.
Has anyone figured out what is going on between Barney Frank’s nose and his teeth — you know — his sagging upper hood?
Right after President Bush became Governor of Texas,
he changed it to allow these felons had no waiting time.

Not much but it was an early sign.
STD?
Damn! You are of course right. Sometimes I could just cry....
I concur with both posts.
mc :-)
McCain has a form Stockholm Syndrome....he can’t bear to say anything bad about his Democrat captors.
bump
Barney’s not in trouble. Anyone who thinks so still believes in justice and the tooth fairy. /s/
You are killing me. Sounds like an episode of South Park is in the works.
even if it did go anywhere, the dupes in MA would still re-elect him
they did before

Barney Frank and the Male Prostitute – 1989
The era of sour feelings on Capitol Hill continued after House Speaker James. C. Wright’s resignation and the smear campaign against his successor, Thomas S. Foley. In a third blockbuster scandal, Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Barney Frank admitted a lengthy relationship with a male hooker who ran a bisexual prostitution service out of Frank’s apartment.
The story was broken by the conservative Washington Times newspaper, which trumpeted every juicy morsel with front-page hype. Though Frank was apparently ignorant of some of the prostitute’s activities, his indiscretion was so great that his standing in Congress was greatly damaged and a House reprimand passed overwhelmingly in July 1990. His home district in Massachusetts was more forgiving, reelecting him easily the following November.
Dems gonna toss Barney under the bus ?

Which only goes to show, I guess, what a bunch of slime balls reside in his district.
Send Barney yo all women’s prison. They should be safe.
Although 300 million Americans may think he is a total scumbag he is sent to Congress by about 450,000 voters in his district, half of whom don’t even bother to vote. Frank was reelected in 2004 with a little more than 218,000 votes.

stretch marks
BUT..if he doesn't find his balls..and expose this for what it is...
Im voting (D)...so i don't have to die a slow agonizing death!
Yes, I believe he’s corrupt. Or stupid. You decide.
I think McCAin doesn’t touch this because there are too many republicans involved in the mess as well and he’s doing all he can to distance himself from the current administration.
Bush seeks to increase minority homeownership (FHA)

Can’t give a snip of USA today, but it’s worth the read!
Do you have any evidence, any at all, of our President being or acting corrupt?
As I said, he may be inept in some areas. I’ll add to that, he’s let us down on some important issues, and he hasn’t been as forthright, for whatever his personal reasons are, as we would like, but labeling him a crook, or calling him corrupt is well beyond reason.
I would expect this at DU or HuffPost, but at FR from a FReeper of 8 years?
No need to respond to me. None at all.
