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?

The guy, and a lot of others in politics, is an embarrassment to our country.
Barnie Fwank has a Fannie problem.
they’re cocktail parties, alright...
The result of his twinkie habit, no doubt.
MA doesn’t have a GOP, that’s a big problem right there.
Term limits are the cure for people like Barney Frank. Too bad it’ll never happen though.
Here’s what I’d like to know. Why do we never hear, not even from conservatives, about Bawney’s long sexual relationship with Herb Moses? I mean, when BOR hounded him in his interview, he never mentioned it. Rush talks about the male prostitution ring operated from his townhouse, but even he never mentions that for, like 10 years, Bawney was boffing the number 3 guy at Fannie Mae. The guy who was actively pushing loans to the unqualified, all the while Bawney was making the laws forcing banks to do it. COME ON! The American people would FREAK if they knew the extent of it.

You ever been to Provincetown out on the Cape? Just like Key West except it’s cold, and they don’t have Jimmy Buffet.
“Bawney was boffing the number 3 guy at Fannie Mae”
These over the hill fudgepackers actually still cornhole each other? I thought old live-in queers just lived together or just had dinner dates.......
Didnt some one say we need the tools to fix this mess and with Barnyard Frank we have the biggest tool in WA
It’s time to send Bahknee Fwank home to spend more time with the boyfriends. He has caused enough havoc in this country.
Here ya go.
I prefer the type of Term Limits that Vince Flynn wrote about.
Can’t he be sent on a fact finding mission to Peshawar?
EXCELLENT question, how about we start forcing answers?
Votes don’t matter in MA. Same as Chicago, do you think even half those votes went to the folks who hold office? In Chicago AND Boston, in fact all over both states, you see ads in newspapers all the time to hire activists, read: acorn, community activists coalition, and on and on and on. There has bot been a verifiably legitimate election in MA in YEARS!! Maybe decades. The Mob runs MA.
