When God judges the USA, don’t ask why. Just think of Barney Frank.

Are journalists playing favorites with some of the key political figures involved with regulatory oversight of U.S. financial markets?

Does a bear dump in the wood?

Does a cat have whiskers on its butt?

Is Helen Ready??

One would think that he would be more involved with Freddie Mac than Fannie Mae.

was once romantically involved with a Fannie Mae executive

"Romantically involved" brings a quite different picture to my mind. That being said, Barnye Frank would be the most repugnant, lying, rude, arrogant, classless piece of crap in Congress even if he weren't a trouser pilot.

Moses left Fannie in 1998 to start his own pottery business.

You could not make this up.

While studying psychology in college, I was told that in every stereotype there is some truth.

Apparently they didn't lie.

When Barney wears an orange jumpsuit he can become an interior deorator.

Frank claims differently, according to a letter to the editor published in the Sept. 17, 2008 Wall Street Journal. Frank noted that in 2005 he supported regulating compensation for Fannie and Freddie executives.

2005? Isn’t that the same year Franklin Raines was removed as CEO after having been found to have fudged profits upwards of 9 BILLION dollars,and the resulting fraudulent bonuses in the millions?

How in hell did EVERYBODY miss that one,and why is Raines walking the streets as a free man?

Oh,I forgot,the Clinton defense.....every does it,whats the problem.

It appears that everyone DOES!

The 1995 Community Reinvestment Act (left wing) forced banks to give loans that could not be paid back. Freddy and Fanny (left wing Socialist organizations)then bought those tax payer backed loans.

The government then buys the loans with taxpayers money, and there’s a left wing take over of the housing industry - right under our noses.

While the relationship reportedly ended 10 years ago, Frank was serving on the House Banking Committee the entire 10 years they were together. The committee is the primary House body which along with the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) has jurisdiction over the government-sponsored enterprises.

OFHEO....haven’t heard much about this one!

Wonder what rats are/were hiding in that nest?

Is this the man behind the mounting Herbert M. Moses Fannie scandal about to erupt in Barney Frank's face?
