I thought this was made up, but no - unfortunately she really plead guilty to Barney Frank.

Rush played the audio. I thought it was a joke at first.

Unreal.

“Relatively minor infractions”

[a fool in paradise]

Barney Fwank: "This is not the culture of corruption you are looking for."

[dirtboy]

too many appointees were being held up for what he deemed insignificant reasons.

I do agree there. Compared to the graft of Frank, Dodd, Reid and others, a few thousand in tax evasion is chump change.

And that is the ENTIRE problem in Washington - what they consider insignificant.

[americanophile]

Where is mega barf alert on this?? These last 51 or days have been like a Twilight Zone episode. Finally, I find something to agree with Frank on however, his statement: "I guarantee you my colleagues would not on their own be doing this," is entirely true. Were it not for the media attention, they would be more than happy to sweep all of Obama's and the Dems criminal activity under the rug.

Enjoy this spectacle while it lasts. Soon, the Imperials won’t bother justifying themselves to us.

[Paleo Conservative]

Guilty!

[Professor_Leonide]

The MSM is full of sycophants. Why was that Craig guy run out of town for offering a gay liaison once in a bathroom while one of Barney Frank’s gay live-in lovers was running a brothel out of the house he shared with Barney Frank?

It’s a mystery to me.

[Oldpuppymax]

The hypocrisy of the left is mind-boggling.

[steelyourfaith]

That’s right, Andrea Mitchell NBC News,. What were you thinking? What’s more important -— any semblance of media credibility or the continued unfettered march to Marxism?

[OldNavyVet]

Andrea vs. Frank is class vs. crass.

Andrea’s husband, Alan Greenspan, has an interesting article in today’s WSJ.

Most interesing in Greenspan’s article is that he doesn’t mention Barney Frank as “most sulpable” in causing today’s economic mess.

[FixitGuy]

What the hell has our great country come to?

I gotta find something better to do than watch these idiots.

Is there NO way to hold these criminals accountable?

"I take your point, Mr. Frank, Mr. Chairman," Mitchell said. "You're right and we plead guilty because this is this culture right now of ‘gotcha' has gotten completely out of control."

[andy58-in-nh]

Do I have this right? After spending the past eight years giving every single Bush appointee the journalistic equivalent of a rectal exam, Missus Alan Greenspan is complaining that the media is now being too tough on Obama's nominees? Pardon me while I retch.

Perhaps if more of Obama's selections bothered to pay their income taxes, they'd have an easier time of it. Then again, Bush's nominees all paid theirs and it didn't stop the news media from dumpster diving with reckless abandon until they dug up whatever scraps of dirt the could gleefully rush into print or onto the airwaves.

[Pietro]

Yeah, take that 'lack of perfection" line to the IRS and see what it gets you.

The media is digging too hard???LMAO

[maggief]

Andrea is Frank’s new butt boy?

[The Sons of Liberty]

You know of course that Andrea Mitchell is married to Alan Greenspan.

[jakerobins]

Amazing...Libs will never admit guilt or even failure even in the face or overwhelming evidence...Except to other Lib’s. Only a dumb lib can forgive a dumb lib for their mistakes, I guess!!

[rocksblues]

I want to know how come it is a minor infraction when a Democrat gets caught not paying for their employees and a major infraction when it is a Republican, Andrea?
