Barney Frank Goes Apeshit Over S&P Insinuation The Dodd-Frank Is A Miserable Failure, Hypocritical Hilarity Ensues
There is something oddly pot-meet-kettle-esque when Barney Frank, one of the men most responsible for the nationalization of the GSEs, sends out a letter bashing S&P head David Sharma, one of the men responsible for the credit crisis. Especially when the bashing is over something that is actually 100% true: that Dodd-Frank is the most pathetic and corrupt piece of legislation to come out of Washington since Gramm-Leach-Bliley.
And here is the report that prompted Frank's paroxysm of rage:

LOL!
Apeshit is good. Sorts out the weak from those who know what they are doing.
Typo. Should read, "Barney Frank Goes Apeshit Over S&M"
The first time Barney Frank's mom and dad saw him lying in the hospital nursery they were so proud of their little baby boy. All of the other babies had pacifiers in their mouth to keep them from screaming and crying. And their lie little Barney so calm and happy with no pacifier.
His mother turned to his father and said, "look at how sweet our boy is. He lies there so nicely and he doesn't even need a pacifier."
Just then the nurse was walking by and said to Mrs. Frank, "actually we had to put his pacifier in his rectum to keep him quiet".
How does this get junked?
lmao
Barney must've gotten a secret login to ZH. But then again, Barney's always tryin' to get his log into *someplace*.
Barney Fwank is concerned that his acting role in such movies as "Inside Job" may be in jeopardy. Don't forget he is a Hollywood star now and needs to defend his "for the people" role he played in that film.
I think Howee-wood Staw is the proper term here.
Ders nufing wrong wif fwannie mae!
Iths preposferous to say ders anyfing wrong wif fwannie mae! Iths perfectly slovlent!
(Listener wipes spittle off and steps back out of range)
Excellent.
I first thought you were trying to type in medieval Germanic, but then I recognized it.
Frankish.
Its Fwankish ;-)
This twit has been sitting in a position of power and influence and at the epicenter of every financial crisis for my entire life.
His staff (pun?) of the past can be found sitting in places like GS, the Morgue et al. And his present staff can be found fully erect to the possibility of joining them there.
He is one of the most despicable creatures on the face of the planet. Wholly devoid of any sense of ethics, he has used his position to dispense favor as if it were his money being used to give away.
His boyfriend for a "Fwannie job" (another pun?) and then interceding in the United One affair with the bank bailouts.
He is a drooling, split tongue, snake in the grass placed among us by other snakes.
+100
on it as usual nmewn
you know I'm getting less surprised by their behavior and more by ours
actually he says his name "bawney fwank", so who are we to attempt to change his stated name. After all, we wouldn't attempt to change his nature, would we?
- Ned
who would name their kid barney
.
home run
Barney's sock puppet Congressional interns...
Barney's a cock muppet for Congressional interns...there, fixed it.
The Velvet Mafia lookin' out for their own.
...and attempting to intimidate and silence any opposition.
Just like down South in Argentina.
I thought it was good.
+1.
How does this get junked?
By being too stupid to post on zh.
It's discriminatory toward pacifiers.
Rectum? Damned near killed 'em!
Making fun of Barney's sexuality distracts from his financial thievery off the American taxpayer. Ergo, junked.
To all you a-holes who also latch onto a person's gender or religion ("da Jews did it all"), please cut it out. Focus on the thievery of the political and bankster classes.
That comment combined with that avatar is just about as hypocritical as it gets. I don't care, mind you, but I'm also very capable of detailing the ongoing financial thievery AND making fun of the fatass banking queen Bawney Fwank. Juuunked.
"aholes latch on to a person's religion...please cut it out"
-- tali-bomb-head?
its all in fun. stop bitchin'
that's why the fwank joke is in a comment, and not the main argument of someone's article. srsly
Have you ever been called a Twat before?
OK Geoff....the thieving bankster Jews did it.
High five sheep doggie! LOL, GRRRRR.
Lighten up you fag.
Yeah.
It's them queer Yid thieving banksters and Barney's boys.
Geoff, come on.
He's been in the press caught in a drug raid (cocaine party) where everybody else was arrested and he's let loose. Pictures in the news of him rubbing the ass of young male interns in DC. Even then, most folks couldn't give a rat's ass about his sexuality. Barney's just loved and talked about, by just being Barney. People love him.
And keep in mind, in the most civil ZH tradition, people are laughing with him, not at him.
Just like we recognize that only a small minority of Muslims are terrorists, but in the quest for equality, we treat them all the same.
Yes. That was also the argument for why Michael Jackson was not a ticking time bomb. I heard for years that "Michael is Special" by appoligists with their heads in the sand. They were convinced he wasn't a deeply troubled and deviant person who, in reality, couldn't be trusted babysitting your child, let along released into Senate to do as he wished with your money.
I know you were being sarcastic, but some people acutally believe some deviants are "special." We are apes, nobody is special. Pigs are not born as opera stars and horses don't talk. Everything you see has been seen before in the human condition. The real bad ones, they want to be seen as "special" so they can do what they want and not be labeled for what they are. They are not "special" other than we need to take special precautions against personality types that are predictably destructive.
If you choose the right people, you could populate the Senate and House with drag queens and "perverts" who could function perfectly well and not steal you blind or strut around and make an ass of themselves. There no connection between sexuality and being a crook. There's no connection between deviance and evil. Barney can't hide behind his messed up personal life, or his miserable record. The man is an absolute abomination. A Judas Iscariot in the persona of Elmer Fudd.

Had Mr Frank been hetero, he would have been run from office long ago.
Just more of the PC hypocrisy we have to live with till the social/economic revolution comes.
Sigh, oh to be young.
Literally MILLIONS of gay people don't speak like Elmer Fudd.
They also don't conduct their private lives like Bangkok whores,
Or have the emotional maturity of a 14 year old girl, flying off the handle in emotional hissy fits whenever their pathetic record is even remotely challenged,
This disgusting excuse for a human being has done more damage to you and me than he could ever attone for,
But he has no intention of atoning, or even admitting partial responsibility for his misdeeds.
In fact, he turns my stomach with his posturing and bristling at even the remotest challenge to his record.
Barney Frank is the poster child for hubris, ego, and complete corruption and incompetence.
And you have the collosal gaul to hector us about laughing at his antics?
You sir, are either an idiot, or just a posturing youngling hoping to appear heroic by standing up for what is right by parroting back what has been drummed into your innocent brain by those who use you, drain your father of his youth, his energy, and his dreams, and abuse your mother.
It's OK, I've been there.
Thunderdome is ready, and the dying time is nigh. Time to grow up son.
Wow, that was a great reply.
The time to grow up was a long time ago, and perhaps Thunderdome is the real cost...

I agree with your sentiment about the bashing, but geez your approach is a junk magnet.
Yeah, there's a lot of gay bashing and Jew bashing and what-ever bashing in ZH posts. Some in jest. Some quite disturbing. ZH monitors are pretty good about just letting it rip---allowing freedom of speech. Part of the attraction here I think.
As for me, I have to be careful. I have to be careful I am not secretly enjoying reading a bigoted post all the while enjoying a self-righteous sense of superiority for not having written it.
Where'd all your junks come from? Probably right around "Please cut it out" and "Focus on the...." Independent folks do NOT like to be told what to do.
I agree with you there are many Jew haters and blamers here at ZH. Not a majority though. The Jew bankers this, the Jew bankers that. Sad really. The stench of bigotry and ignorance gets so bad sometimes I just have to log-off and get a breath of fresh air. Free speech includes a lot of noise.
Here. Let's go Jew-Hater fishing: I am Founders Keeper, and I stand with the Jews. The heritage of our nation's founding has many roots found in the Jewish story and tradition. (That's a fact.)
Agreed.
We owe a lot to Jewish culture and ethics.
If one wants to look at the influence and wealth of religious groups on Wall Street, they cant rationally talk about the Jews without also discussing the Hindus, Episcopalians and Presbyterians also.
I think most of this country is still owned by the top crust Episcopalians, Methodists and Presbyterians, not the folks who got here post-1900.

Hi JimBowie1958. Thank you for your Reply.
Now that's funny. Who junked that? It's hilarious. And true to boot.
Second time for this one today but strangely, it seems to fit on a number of levels.

Barney Frank.
Fucking professional civic moron.
People of Massachusetts = even greater civic morons for continuing to re-elect this piece of dreck.
Don't forget Teddy K and JKerry-Heinz....
Now that's low.

professional civic oxymoron
I wonder how the headline sweeping algos will parse Apeshit into a trade.
DPS up 18%
Funny, monkey.
Sorry, It was a minor clerical error. Was supposed to be 'ape over shit'.
More like a woman scorned.
- Chumblez.
Where's the "rage???" Frank was accurately quoting the law and delivering a typical pithy reply to a dumbass. Any fair reading of the statute would confirm his points. Barney bashing is a congenital thing with Tea Partiers. Like mental retardation.
The rage is apparent, and the loopholes built into this recent reform law is well discussed by many like TD and Mike Shedlock.
Frank is well aware of all this but postures like it just cant happen, hence his hypocrisy, a prerequisite for his proffession.
Jeezus, who peed in his cheerios. He must be having a tiff with his bf...
"barney frank goes apeshit" Isn't that redundant?
Barney Frank is headed straight to Hell unless he reforms. I actually feel sorry for him.
You are too generous, JLee.
BF has no empathy for you. He's a miserable, self serving, egotistical slob who is outraged at the hint that anyone could find fault with him or his actions. Had he the slightest bit of integrity he would have resigned 10 years ago. Instead, he is drunk on power and is oh so dangerous to you and everything you value. Remember, it was he who led the "Committee to Abandon Responsibility" when they "investigated" the financial crises and concluded that it wasn't anybody's fault. Thereby, through government sanction, released the Congress from any and all liability for its actions and failure to protect the American people.
For some reason the term "dog shit" now comes to mind.
Agree. Barney Frank and David Sharma should be gutted like swine on the floor of the Senate.
The Mayans had a word for guys like Barney Frank. I believe it was, "cunt".
LOL - well played, sir...
+++ genius
ROFL
...and I thought it was the cockneys what came up wiv it guvna'
:)
Wikipedia's 'Cunt' page.
Cockneys spell it K-A-N-T and emphasive every letter.
Fact check: Deven Sharma became head of S&P months after Kathleen Corbet left S&P. She was its President before and after the meltdown. Deven Sharma at the time was in charge of the businesses that were not ratings (indexes, equity research et al)
Some fact checking please before blowing off stupidity.
No chance he'll escape from Satan's clutches.
I love when that queer spittle starts flying. He never met a Male Fannie or Freddie he didn't covet
+1 LOL, you had me at spittle.
It is funny that Barney hates the Tea Party so bad since his name is so closely tied to tea bagging.
Yes, LMAO!
But I have to say, though it should be expected, that the MSM is so full of sh*t, on both the right or left's point of view, that when it comes to an interview, unless you agree with what they are saying, BF's situation is the norm.
No win situation.
Strongly resembles that fat fuck Barron Harkonen! Also, Murdoch is a dead ringer for the stith lord! WB7 put it together for us please!
Frank’s goal from the very beginning has been a giant merger of the two GSE’s so he could get what he really wanted, Freddie’s Fannie.
BINGO!
To think that Mass. went from Calvin Coolidge to Bahney in 2 generations (shudder). Well hey, the job (being bottom boy for The Boyz) has been filled by the perfect candidate!
(hahaha)
shame shame Chindit13!
AH! HA!
just missed you...by three days, give or take.
Barney is a sensitive guy, you know.
This is my favorite Barney moment.

How is a fucker named Barney taken serious anyway?
He's dealer bailing-out the worst poker players.
Barny has always reminded me of Elmer Fudd. Especially, when he gets all pissy.
I've never wanted to punch Elmer Fudd in the face.
I have to retract a statement I made yesterday. I improperly equated BF to Barney Rubble. Although he kinda sorta has the Rubble look, he's not Rubble. Not that sophisticated. However, upon reflection, I now see BF as being more like Mel Blank's Sylvestor the Cat.
Yup! Sufferin succotash!

Swear that signature spells 'Fwank'.

Well Thanks ALOT, Tyler! You HAD to mention that pig f*%#$!r Barney Frank. Now you've ruined my day...
Singed.....Bwaney Fwank....Wanking Membwa.
+1 for the English accent
Barney Fag is such a fucking joke
now just a minute...S&P says that the gubmint will support systemically important banks..and Bah Humbug Frankly says that the gubmint wont support systemicall important banks? wtf? who is going to support TBTF if TPTB arent? Not the FRBNY ...and dont call anyone Shirley
the bloated sack of toxic Trotsky turdballs, obese windbag Barney Frank, can GFH
..take a long walk off a short pier Barney, do something for a first time in your endless stream of big-spending, big bankrupt, big toxic socialist failures that benefits the nation
..go tidy up toxic housing, tidy up toxic healthcare, tidy up toxic dependency culture... when you've sorted all your shit out, go top yourself
I would fuking pay my portion of the US debt today in full, cash money,for the opportunity to give this guy one, full on, kick in the vagina
Which one? Vagina, that is.
heh...there ya go...should be a circus with the opportunity to kick politicians in the nuts for ten bucks a pop...only need 1,400,000,000,000 at ten bucks each...300,000,000 people can have 55,000 goes each!
No offense but many of us feel we have already paid for the privilege. Double billing is more theft.
it's not a privilege so much as a necessity
I believe we have solved the "wish to be a rep issue" and the debt issue in one go. Each elected membwa (lol) gets kicked in the crotch until death for $10 a kick.
Problems solved.
No one wants to be in that government, do they? No nation under God.
No debt. No nation. No army. No Bwarneys. /hahahahaha!/
haha
how many kicks in the crotch would it take to kill a man? and what form would the death take?
I'm betting on blood loss from a ruptured scrotum
shock or heart attack's my guess.
internal bleeding
Everything has already been said about this asswipe of a human. What amazes me is the people of Mass keep re-electing him......or maybe they don't!
I live in the next district over (for now, MA-9, we're losing a critter this term so who knows next year). Spend 10-nanoseconds with the average voter in that district (or virtually any other in MA, especially MA-1, 3, 6, 7 and 8) and it becomes painfully obvious why a sac like this gets returned to CONgress every 2-years.
Trust me - Bwawney Mumbles perfectly fits this district and they deserve him.
Frank n Dodd will go down as the biggest thing since candy flavored cock rings.
He can go shove GEITHNER up his ass, exloding gerbil and all.
The most popular guy in a nudist colony is he who can carry half a dozen donuts and two cups of hot coffee.
And the uber-popular is Barney Frank because he can eat the last donut.
Barney is about as useful as a penis flavored lollipop.

I believe they are called Barney O-Rings
Those waskaly wating agencies!!!
lmao
funniest thread i've read in ages - i'm from the UK so Barney Fwank doesn't quite get to me like he gets to you but still, from what I know of him, he's an utter prick
Without a doubt he's the "catcher" in his sick little fucked up world.
David Sharma....INDIA!!!!!!SnP head...Wow...i love these Indians here and there...we have one heading ur NIST(wtc 7 fame) ...citi banks Pandit....
i found this abt ur 4th of july:::
The Mason who first signed the Declaration of Independence would have been aware of the
particular significance of July 4 as a cosmic event. The day was the second in the so-called
dog days…which begin on July 3. The dog days are so-called because they refer to the rising
of the star Sirius.
Isn't there a law about selling firewater to redskins?
I know that astrological traders make money, but I think it's more from doing things differently than from you explanations of why. You are subjected to all sorts of gravitational forces and electro magnetic forces, all day long. Your cell phone and watch have a lot more influence on you than the Dog Star Sirrus. I just don't buy it. I continue to study your methods, but I just don't buy it.
Now, if you want to talk about the influence of the sun on our planet, and perhaps, the animals on its surface (including us) I'm all ears, but the stars? Too far away.
The confusion comes from mistaking corelation with causation.
The biosphere goes through various cycles that the regular cycles of the heavens corespond with. Thus when certain stars dominate the night sky, it is better to plant crops, harvest, fish, etc.
That does not mean that the stars *caused* these things to be optimal, and astrology grew from that kind of projection.
Dont underestimate the predictive ability of a good astrologer, however. The accumulated knowledge those guys have of various natural cycles can be uncanny, for example the success some have in predicting weather is more accurate than the British MET or the National Weather Service.
But the stars cause nothing; they just hapen to be in the same place each year the cycles repeat themselves. (of course, not all these cycles are anual or related to just stars and planets).

LMFAO! Someone's "Panties" are in a bunch!
It is good to see a bit of unity in the ZH ranks. At least we can all agree that Bawney Fwank is a demon of the lowest level.
God damn chubby knob nibbler.
He's more of a turd burglar than a knob nibbler.
oh noes, fwank is wiled.
he writes his last name and it looks like FWUCK! lol..
Who plays with rating agency plays with fire.
It is impossible to sound tough with an Elmer Fudd lisp.
I can't imagine any 2000 page piece of legislation with the names Frank-Dodd can be good.
Repeal Frank-Dodd, along with Obamacare, and repeal the Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau headed by Elizabeth Warrant.
fwank is about as far as you can get from being the sweet transvestite. a gay (yet somehow more repulsive) jabba the gut maybe.
Nah, Barney is the one chained with someone else holding the leash.
Yup... & today he was just pissed because he was "oh so hoping" to lan the Ned Beatty role in the Broadway stage version of "deliverance", but got passed up on...
Just repeal this gross monstrosity called Goobermint.
This is a sneak preview, a mini-rehersal for what's coming: the beast begins to eat it's own children and finally itself.
Today the different parts of the Ponzi are blaming each other for "what's wrong with the system", pointing fingers and calling spenders of the national treasure black like a pot.
And sadly the truth is none of them really care because they ahve the full intention of continuing and extending their reckless ways. Dodd-Frank was an exercise in cover up for the financial criminals
+1. The grand irony. When all the lies and scams come back and become WMD's for the political stooges to use against each other. The melt down is starting to get interesting now. I suspect we haven't anything yet.
Of course, this is exactly as scripted. Financial crisis = sovereign crisis = political crisis = currency crisis. We are just now moving into stage 3.
Barney Frank = "Rocky Horror Goes to Washington"
If this keeps up, the spot price will remain chronically ahead of the whole futures chain:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/fc?s=GCM11.CMX
No chance they'll repeal Dodd-Frank, though.
Why do they insist on calling the 'Futures Market' when there is no future?
Tradition. Transitory tradition.
No Future is absolutely correct
