It's difficult to dislike Rep. Barney Frank.

I don't find it difficult. Where's the difficulty?

The guy's got the best
sense of humor on Capitol Hill. He was on Steven Colbert's show
recently, and traded barbs with Colbert and held his own against
one
of the funniest men on television.

Thrilling. If he'd spent the last decade or so on TV comedy shows
instead of promoting all those NINJA loans which started the
collapse
of
our (and the world's) economies, I might find him as likeable as
you
do.

Nor has Frank learned much, evidently. Only a few months ago he was
trying to pressure lenders into lowering their requirements for
mortgages on multi-unit buildings.

If he'd been captain of the Titanic he'd probably have wanted to
turn
the ship around and hit the iceberg again.



If you go swimming and drown in a rip tide, is it the fault of the
car
dealer who sold you the car that got you there?

I don't think so, but you've hit on a good idea: by all means, retire
Barney Frank from Congress and let him sell cars instead. He will
almost
certainly continue to cheat people, but his victims will then be
limited
to his customers instead of the whole country.

Whoosh!

It seems that some people are unable to view a political figure as a
person and not just a politician. My point was that Barney Frank is
quick-witted, clever, and capable of humor, and therefore difficult to
dislike as a person. My point had nothing to do with his politics.

Neil is anything but quick-witted, clever, or capable of humor. He
may, or may not be, qualified for political office.


It seem to me that too many folks are trigger happy and never miss any
oppportunity to dnigrate a political figure, with whose politics they
disagree. Even if they have to streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch a point.


I would not call this a stretch. It is a disaster:

These morons have started a world-wide recession...


Now that's an authoritative, peer reviewed, reliable source.

You have it out of the morons' own mouths right there on YouTube, with
plenty of other examples there as well. Do you really need it "peer
reviewed" to believe they said what you can see and hear them saying?

These morons have started a world-wide recession...

And here's lovable Barney Frank at his hilarious best, explaining in 2005
the Republicans' "excessive degree of concern" about all those high-risk
mortgages:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW5qK...eature=related

I guess that has Tony and Peter rolling on the floor laughing their asses
off. That Barney, what a cut-up!

Years before the collapse, we had Greenspan along with McCain and other
Republicans warning about the risk to the financial system, Democrats just
pooh-poohing the whole thing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPSDn...eature=related

Not a single Democrat in the Senate joined the Republicans in trying to get
better regulation over Fannie and Freddie, while of course good ol' witty
Barney Frank was doing his part preventing any serious oversight in the
House as well.

None of which bothers Tony in the least. He thinks Barney is just the
funniest comedian around, and that's the most important quality in a
congresscritter-- isn't it?

Absolutely. Those Congress folk only get my vote if they can tell the
biggest "whopper". That's what they're there for, right? A friggin' court of
jesters who give themselves privileges that the 'commoners' would not, or
could not, understand.

The Fools carry on...

dulled. Extracted, in some cases...

I'm looking hard and I can't see it either. "Greed" in this connection seems
to be just the anti-capitalist's view of capitalism.

Corporations exist to provide goods and/or services and thereby make
profits. I'm all for this arrangement and think the more there is of it, the
better. It's when the state meddles in it (as in the case of the
above-mentioned subprime loans) that things begin to go sour.

Let's see. Obama takes over after 8 years Bush has changed the largest
surplus in history to the largest deficit in history. You now blame him for
not fixing it in two years. Makes logical sense to me.
Is Fox evil or stupid?

The free-spending Congress has been in since 2006, and with a socialist
POTUS I would give it about two more years before the US leads the world in
another Greece Failure.

But for some reason, it's Bush's fault...
