Barney Frank Backpedals On Why His Proposed Reform Was Thorougly Trampled By Obama
Since we can't understand a single word he is saying, we assume it is just the usual worthless drivel we have all grown to love and expect from the adorable megalomaniac. One part we could understand that caused an immediate liquification of our collective frontal lobes: we didn't feel like proposing the type of sweeping reform seen today, because "how do we not know that the next administration will not undo it and cause the kind of problems we had before." Then the Frankster says he will push off asset sales for 5 five years - just in time for this hypothetical "next administration" to come in an undo everything proposed by Obama.
It is time Barney Frank follow the example of Dodd and spend much more time with his wife and children...

People in Barney Frank's riding, if you are reading this, hear me out: you need to vote this Fascist out of office!!!
Look, I know you always want to vote your guy in if he has some ranking, because you think he can bring extra bennies your way. But trust me on this, any extra bennies you get are more than taken away by the looting this guy enables. That is, you would be better off, we would all be better off, if Fascists like Barney were not in office.
Do the right thing for yourselves and your fellow Americans, and vote him out next election. Your country is counting on you.
There you go trying to plug the holes in the leaking dyke while a giant Tsunami is heading your way...

Full page, Front page news at HuffPo, btw. Perhaps Tyler will follow with this topic so near and dear to our hearts?
And perhaps Congress, in correcting this little problem, might undo the fundamental insanity that supports this nonsense: the granting of superhuman "person" status to corporations?

No worries. Elections will just become more overt transparent auctions.
My thought as well. This is interesting in combination with the Obama "shot across the bow" remarks about banks today. I wonder if the people v corporation "capture" thingy will bring full-blown war.
I do not know about a full-blown war... but I do know any attempts to rewrite laws to stop it will bring a Filibuster.
As if we needed additional evidence that it's time to dump the Filibuster mechanism.
Easier said than done. Barney Frank has got his district so gerrymandered it would be difficult to get rid of his fat ass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Massachusetts%27s_4th_congressional_di...
If you want to retire Bernanke YOU MUST RETIRE BARNEY.
its easier than that. vote against every incumbent. period.
Nonsense. Jeff Merkley in Oregon deserves his job since he actually knows how to think. He's not the only one. Your throw the bums out and we'll have a brand new system is seriously flawed since corporate interests can now back everyone they want with unlimited funding.
I disagree. Your position implies that what they do is very hard and only a very select group of people can do their job. Id rather have the athens way and have every taxpayer in a pool of names. Oh look, Mrs johnson is the new treasury sec. Hey, Mr James is the new sec Def, etc...
If you notice, there are elected officials and then there are permanent employees. These are the people that 'run' govt. Its the elected officials that point them in a specific direction and say jump. I just dont believe it could be worse by randomly selecting people than the current popularity contest method we employ. Sure, you'll get some dumbasses... But we got that ALREADY!
Barney has a wife? That's news to me.
Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Kids?
Karl Denninger calls him " Bwarney."
That kills me... FYI: I think Bwarney's wife is named Fred... kids are Pebbles and well you know...
C'mon,
Frank ain't such a bad guy, who do you think found Chris Dodd's colon cancer?
Wasn't his roommate the Fannie or Freddie executive running that male prostitution ring?
YEP!!!
A 1990 investigation by the House Ethics Committee was prompted by Steve Gobie, a male prostitute Frank befriended and housed, who attempted to profit on his allegations that Frank knew he was using the home to see clients. Frank confirmed that he had once paid Gobie for sex, hired him with personal funds as an aide and wrote letters on congressional stationery on his behalf to Virginia state probation officials, but Frank said he fired Gobie when he learned that prostitution clients were visiting his apartment.[17][18] (Wiki)
????HolyFuck????
Steve Gobie...I thought his name was Fred Garvin?
I wouldn't want Barney backpedaling in front of me.

TD I got you. From the bumbling barney frank:
"no, weeweewee postplausably and in perticularly did empower the pwesident to use these powers, howwouldweemandatedevestinturefofuturegwothifthwiskwasinvolvedwitapapiatawyinvesto.
Paul Volker."
Thanks for the translation. Seriously, when your jowls start interfering with your ability to communicate a thought it might be time to eat a freakin' salad.
Don't worry, I'm sure good ole' Barney tosses a LOT of salad.
You are a funny fooker! Well done sir.
Barnaby Frank needs to go, plain and simple. We just have to hope now that his constituents are so dissatisfied with him that they'll get rid of him.
The banksters have an agent in the ministry of defense, his name is Fat Bastard.

So I was thinking about how the major banks have called war on the American people. From the Washington Post, "The average american can not stage a proper debtors revolt because they only have $4,000 in cash."
Also, have they declared war on China? Or is China their bitch? I can't tell.
"how do we not know that the next administration will not undo it and cause the kind of problems we had before."
When you look at your job that way, it gets real easy doesn't Barney? You can sit on your ass all day, cuz "hey someone might do something differently some day."
I can't believe the "leaders" we're left with in this country in either party. I wouldn't trust these imbeciles to organize a potluck.
His big solution seems to be to not enact tangible reforms so that he can bitch at the next Republican administration for not enacting tangible reforms.
This is the fallout of having a leader at the top who's better at talking shit than actually leading.
To paraphrase Barney:
Zucchini trashcan mouthwash. Radio frequency. RADIO FREQUENCY!!!
I think someone needs to replace his batteries or something.
So zat iss vhy he's always sqvirming around in zat chair... D-cells!

Mario, is that you?
Franks's opponent in the upcoming election can defeat a trillion dollars of (now unlimited) corporate financing by just using this line at every opportunity:
"Frank is the one who wants to allow the big Wall Street banks to be able to keep stealing YOUR money for five more years!"
Barney Frank The best democrat on the republican team.

Barney Fwank is the best of all the Democwats. He is twue, loyal, and feawless. He has a heawht of gold, and balls of... well, ok, a heawht of gold. Just because he was censuwed foah having a pwostitute for a boyfwiend is no weason to be mean to him. And besides, he woves us all. Weawwy.
Retire Barney.
Many of us didn't give a 'rats ass what his boyfriend was.
THE ISSUES were running a prostitution ring
out of his office (which may have had second
branch immunity) and "fixing" traffic violations.
And this is only what we KNEW! What impact
it would have had on Fannie and Freddie if the
dems had taken him down when they should
have - we'll never know.
When it comes to internet discussions on Barney, I've never been too keen on the inevitable, cheap shot, pejoratives that end up being made regarding his sexuality but, I've got to admit. . .
"It is time Barney Frank follow the example of Dodd and spend much more time with his wife and children..."
Had me spitting coffee all over my keyboard in laughter. Good one TD.
But Barney is comic relief
