Just when you thought the loathsome Barney Frank (C-MA) couldn't get any more reprehensible, comes today's Congressional grilling of AIG's CEO regarding the bonus fiasco.
At one point Mr. Liddy noted to Frank that the Dem congress had created such a hatred of AIG and its well-paid executives that some AIG people were now getting threats that their children would be killed and the employees would be hung by piano wire.
Mr. Frank, who is himself stupendously guilty in creating the current bank/financial uproar, responded, basically, 'tough.' He went on to briefly say that he was familiar with that sort of threat but that we can't let such distractions stop us from doing what needs to be done to disembowel those of whom Frank disapproves.
Am I the only one who watched the Dem Circus and is amazed at its stupidity, vindictiveness, and urge to destroy America?
Grassley the seppuku-advocating airbag is a republican.
He was all over FOX yesterday covering his wrinkled butt
Thanks for the correction. It was a despicable comment no matter who it came from.
The Democrats are trying to duplicate the french revolution.
Did the guy making the threatening calls speak with a lisp, by any chance?
He said “I’ll give refuge to the cute ones”....
These idiots are trying to create violence.
They caused the problem. They took the donations. They approved of the bonuses and now they are trying to look like they care and are angered by the bonuses.
please.
Let the Show Trials begin !
“Mr. Frank, who is himself stupendously guilty in creating the current bank/financial uproar”
WHy didn’t the AIG CEO level that charge while in the hearing on TV? Dam coward!
What else would we expect? Anything to take the focus off Barney’s role in this fiasco.
Frank’s is jess folks tryin to make a buck.
First they stir up class envy and hatred. Then they stir up the folks over executive pay. They they get hypocritically upset over the bonuses. Then they do what they really want: control salaries.
The ultimate goal is total government control and possession of all of the means of production (see communist manifesto)
Barney needs to be sent a radioactive gerbil.
He needs to be strangled with his own sphincter...
We've been talking, as a people, about using Chapter 11 to reorganize various failing businesses with defective corporate cultures. Like GM. I am at the point where I would consider using a revolutionary remedy to do the same with the Federal Government. Starting with the Congress.

FNC: Shep goes nuclear on Dodd and Frank. Compares Frank to McCarthy for going after names.
Or, as Frank calls it, Friday night.
I only caught the beginning of the hearing and most of the Congressmen were making calm opening statements, absent grandstanding.
It looked like it might be an amazingly professional hearing.
The chairman was making a statement when off camera-bellowing erupted.
It was Barney Frank interrupting.
Frank is apparently unfamiliar with the concept of a microphone because he shouts everything.
It was gibberish to me as I don’t speak Frankenfurter .
Which involves angry yelling, a terrible speech impediment, spitting, leftist buzz words and paranoia.
Michael Steele should make Barney Frank a household name , as well known as Barry , the de facto leader of the Democrats.
