Nice, they let him retire without facing any charges. What a country. Guy should be hung, not allowed to go out on a full retirment after all the damage he has done. Stupak is also going, another bum. Some become lobbyists, some get other jobs somewhere in the administration and some just retire to the beach laughing all the way to the bank. I guess the next one will be the other sleeze, Rangle.

Unbelieveable.

Are you sure you didn’t mean the “stiff” of a banker?

He’s willing to leave his congressional brothers behind?

I would like confirmation before throwing a party, but, then again, I have no reason to doubt Ingraham’s sources.

Even without Frank, this is still the longest of longshots for the Republican candidate. Yes, I know, Scott Brown (very narrowly) carried the CD in January, but it would take a miracle to capture that seat.

One thing that this does resolve is the problem of which CD the Democrat redistricters will eliminate. It would be very easy for them to add the heavily RAT New Bedford area to the current (Delahunt-held) MA-10 (thus making it more Democrat and improving their chances of winning the seat back from what is a likely GOP pick-up this November), and add the Brookline/Newton area to the population-losing Boston districts.

[Laura said he got his from an old Dartmouth buddy who is well connected polically in MA. politics and lives in Barney’s district. it’s still basically rumor.]

I think this is BS. There is not so much as a hint of this on FOX and they would have half screen banner were it even a float!

“Good, bring him BEFORE Congress to testify under oath about the banking crisis he helped create.”

This is what I believe he is trying to avoid. He wants to try to fade into the background in hopes he will never be held accountable for his crimes.

I want to know what bank (other than the World Bank) would hire Congwessman Fwank? When I find out I will steer clear of that bank.

Okay, does anyone know about the banking queen’s district? Is it a safe Demorat district or is there a chance here?

Good points, but I don't see the Newton aristocrati giving up “their”seat and being lumped in with the plebs.

They bitched and screamed about switching the area code from 617 years back and won out on that.

Gay whore house, Congress, isn't that kind of the same thing?

Plain and simple, patron’s of any bank that has him on their board, should withdraw all their funds, and do business elsewhere.

Where’s he going: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Goldman Sachs? It’s payoff time.

His district has a partisan voting index of D+19. That means they won’t elect anyone to the right of Lenin.
