In any other area of American life, this track record would get a man run out of town. In Washington, hes hailed as a sage whose history of willful error will be forgotten faster than taxpayers can write a check for $200 billion. - The Wall Street Journal on Rep. Barney Frank, Sept. 9, 2008
The only thing more painful than watching 180 billion tax dollars swirl down the AIG drainpipe is listening to Barney Frank bloviate about it.
I dont know The Worlds Most Expensive Legislator personally, but I hear hes quite a cut-up at cocktail parties. However, as legislator and politician, he is an unmitigated disaster. Frank combines the economic success of AIG, the business ethics of Enron and the personal accountability of Ruth Madoff.
Frank began his career opposing Reaganomics, an opposition that stubbornly resisted 25 years of nearly constant economic growth. In the 1990s, Frank sat on the Banking Committee regulating Fannie Mae, even as his then-partner, Herb Moses, worked as a Fannie exec.
Is it a coincidence that Frank has been a die-hard advocate for expanding Freddie/Fannie at any cost?

He or his minions won’t understand it, but you can enclose a tea bag protest by using a printable tea bag picture from this site:

This is easy to mail, unlike real tea, and will get to the politicians you wish to Freep with a tea party protest via US Mail. Freep on!
In another reality, he would now be a "towel boy" in a Fire Island Bath House (instead of polluting our national scene)!
Maybe you’re right, I hope you are. But if they ain’t boffing, then that leaves even more time for “pillow talk”. Which is the conflict of interest...
PLEASE don’t give cornhole a bad name

“Votes dont matter in MA. Same as Chicago, do you think even half those votes went to the folks who hold office?”
Yes. Over 80%. Don’t overestimate fraud. MA and Chi aren’t 1 party because of fraud, GOP organization hardly exits in some locales. Hell, most MA congressman don’t even get Republican opponents.
