This will make no difference: his successor I would strongly suspect will vote exactly as Barney would.

Excellent news, but why is he leaving? Are the investigators closing in? Why would that matter to a Democrat, unless he thinks he might end up in jail?

“his successor I would strongly suspect will vote exactly as Barney would.”

And will probably be a transvestite!

Frank has thrown his support for his successor to Celesto Rodriguez, an illegal alien, who Franks says would represent the concerns of the 20-30 million illegal aliens about to become citizens under President Obama or President Gingrich’s executive order.

Democrat hopefuls fight to fill hole left by Franks’ withdrawal.

Any chance he can take Nancy "psycho" Pelosi with him as well?

“Frank has thrown his support for his successor to Celesto Rodriguez, an illegal alien”

If the demonrats nominate a known illegal alien, couldn’t they be charged as an ongoing criminal enterprise under the RICO statutes?

If the Repulsicans manage to not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I demand and fully expect a trial for this felon.

Bawney is a crook, pure and simple...and we will not rest until he gets the chance to be “mama” in prison.

This man ought to be under criminal investigation for helping to cause the financial crisis that destroyed the real estate market and fostered the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. The Community Reinvestment Act, Freddie MAC, Fannie Mae, his fingerprints were all over it.
Conflicts of interest galore. He was a leftist fringe crook.
