Frankly Rude: Barney Cuts Haines Interview Short
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/11/2009 10:33:14 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It's a conversation, Barney, not a soliloquy . . .

Discussing the regulation of executive pay with CNBC's Mark Haines today, the testy liberal Dem from Massachusetts was affronted when Haines tried to get in a word edgewise.

Before long, Barney announced that the interview was over, and ripped off his earpiece. Unruffled, Haines got off a good last line: "Fine, goodbye sir. We'll manage without you."

View video here.

Classic video of arrogant Barney Frank ending an interview short with CNBC’s Mark Haines, who gets in a good ending zinger. Ping to Today show list.

The problem with BAWNEY is that every insult you can think of to suggest to him is probably something he would enjoy...

He is a self-centered immature brat who’s being exposed (pun not intended) for his grimy hands in the cookie jar.

Sorry for the graphic images . . .ugh

Barny seems to be an angry guy. I really don’t know how he ever got elected in the first place. He has a nasty personality, he’s unattractive, I just don’t get it. His constituents must be brain damaged.

This is typical of Franks. Problem is no matter what he does, his district will continue to reelect him.

Haines is confrontational with everyone he interviews.

Anybody going on the show should know that by now.

Barney Frank is the premier example of constipation of the brain and diarrhea of the mouth.

So Mr. Fwank has to answer real questions about the economic mess he helped create and throws a hissy. Now that the Rats are in charge of everything,who can they blame? Fwank clearly tried to twist the question to fit his lame answer and got called on it. “I'm leaving,Boohoo!” Who in the heck votes for this butt nut??? Unbelievable!!
