In an interview with CNBC, Representative Barney Frank says he wants to push for prosecution of the people who caused the country's financial meltdown.
The Massachusetts Democrat says he has no specific targets in mind, but says the most significant thing lawmakers can do is make past bad practices illegal.

Maybe hell just choke on his SO.What a picture!

I couldn't believe the byline wasn't the the Onion. But for once I agree with Barney Frank, I agree that he should be prosecuted, although he's going to have to recuse himself since it's inappropriate for him to administer his own prosecution.

Yeah, really. What a doofus. I’d be more than happy to see him prosecute himself. He’ll enjoy the Bubba boys in jail...

I know, isn’t it sureal, he wants himself investigated. He and Dodd can share a cell. We all should be calling our reps and pushing for an independent council to investigate.

why they would appoint Fitzgerald and all he would do is nail a Republican for a ‘process’ crime.

I would really, really like to see Chuckie Shumers name on that list. I can’t stand him. Oh, and Alexandra Pelosi the daughter of the tyrant who does antireligion films just for fun.

Reminds me of government officials towards the end of Atlas shrugged trying to get their hands on John Galt.

Strange, seeing how Barney F*g has been so intimate with Freddy's Fannie that he couldn't get to the bottom of this fiasco a little faster....

Exellent reply to the posted article, pleikumud.
BTW, Frank calling for prosecutions of others reminds me that people who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. Remember the gay prostitution ring that was run out of Frank's home in DC? Too bad he can't be prosecuted on that because of the statute of limitations.

Well why doesn’t he go ahead and prosecute them? Because they will raise their right hand and in the first 5 minutes of testimony will incriminate Barney Frank.

Seems even a majority of
Democrats see right through Barney and think he should be prosecuted as well.
To: prismsinc
Choco-Carter Good thing I was drinking unsweetened tea 'cause it is all over my screen, LOL! We could always call him Count Chocu-Carter (a play on Count Chocula) because he trying to sugar-coat his plan that is sucking the life out of the economy. Barney could be Franken Fairy and Joe Biden could be Boo Dingleberry.
