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
took pains
because he’s gay
his boyfriend is a top
“On Capitol Hill, Barney always introduces me as his lover.”
The giant firms
Frank pushed
President Clinton’s
planting the seeds
resisting any efforts
tighten up a little on Fannie
Clinton said recently
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.
