Barney Frank Goes Apeshit Over S&P Insinuation The Dodd-Frank Is A Miserable Failure, Hypocritical Hilarity Ensues

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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:

Just to take a break from all the irrelevant gay-bashing...

Barney's assessment that "whoever wrote Page 2 must not have read Page 3" is wrong.  Page 2 states that large institutions will still be bailed out.  Page 3 states that some changes to the language of the law may be needed to accomplish this. 

How is this a conflict?  Even the dumbasses at S&P know the law will go out the window the minute the TBTF boys come running to Washington to protect their bonus checks

although, I did enjoy the pacifier joke

Dodd-Frank is watered down and riddled with loopholes, because the banking lobbyists were involved in writing that bill.

Sometimes they even change passages in a draft bill after its text and phrasing has been agreed upon by the lawmakers involved in writing it.

Fucking lobbyists.

Kick them out of Capitol Hill.

And he's going to tax all those fat cat bankers. Put them out of business and pay for my car and condo too. Change, change, change!!! Any day now. All different.

That bill gave a huge amount of power to the Fed.  No way they'll change it now (unless of course there's need for a bailout).  Speaking of which, who's next in line at the teat?  I'm guessing BofA (again).

Funny how Moody's and S&P just talk all the time about what they will do to US debt rating.....they don't have the balls to lower it.....I wish they did, but its obvious its nothing but a scare tactic to politicians to fold

 

Hopefully, those against raising the debt ceiling stand strong and refuse to vote for this crap.

@MsCreant

F*** the GLBT community or ANY organization that spends countless hours in their campaigns to 'rid the world' of what they perceive as bias against their conclaves...

Let me put it to everyone this way... I have little doubt that any of these yo-yo's, at random...

- Whether it be Barney Frank, at a party full of his 'friends'

- Or Jamie, Lloyd, BennieBucks, Timmeh, & Co... & their self indulgent clans

- or even a miltant FLOTUS

- & to rightfully include any white supremacist yo-yo's

If they were faced with REAL strife, or adversity, pain, or suffering, wouldn't resort to the same banal usages & depictions that you see in abundance on this thread... (& frankly, I'm pretty sure they do it anyway out of the sight of cameras or teleprompters)...

All the above HIGH & MIGHTY are just as crass as the lowest contributor here... The only difference is that you don't hear it being aired out in public (because doing so would involve a cost to the status they enjoy - & have done zilch to earn)... OTOH (for others - such as here)...

"When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose"

- Bob dylan

By saying this... I'm not trying to create an atmosphere whereby we lower the bar to the lowest common denominator of behavior... I HOPE for better... In little ways, I strive for better (& hope other people do as well - but I can't force them to do so)... But neither do I want a finger pointed at me from the direction of these types who spend exactly ZERO amount of time or effort doing the backbreaking work of society maintenance...

I believe I hear you. I am not in favor of censorship for a lot of reasons (if nothing else I can get you more clearly in my gun sights if you are a threat who runs her or his mouth and lets me know it [most won't]). I do censor myself, and I will tell others to fuck off if they are engaged in mindless hate speech for the sake of hate. I am responsible for me. I really like to laugh (probably too much) and I am willing to go for a pun if I see it and it is a bit derogatory. If I make that choice, and I don't feel the hate full on, I am responsible to own that, to temper it. Shades of grey are everywhere, not to mention that few whites are pure white (total absence of color) and few blacks are pure black (equally all colors), there are many shades. I read anti-female jokes all the time. I don't (can't) go after them all. I don't take them all personally either. I don't expect you or anyone else to apologize to the GLBT community. There are too many gay folks out there I like, so I do when I crack a joke like that. It's about my standards for me. Nothing more.

I don't even have to add to that... See - that's what I like about ZH... In the end - it's self policing that way... (you know - the way Tremonti thinks the EU banks ought to be)... Hahahahahahahah!

Their actions are more than censorship or valiant efforts to integrate a diverse community; they are at the core deeply and offensively sexist, racist, religious and educationally biased, displaying brilliantly bigoted, hateful, divisive attitudes representing an fundamental usurptation of individual liberties and freedoms.

i think barney is saying something true here, also, about S&P.

thus we see two partial truths fighting away. a good slewie-trained family thereapist would enjoy egging them on since going apeshit empties the kitchen sink, at which point, the therapist informs them of huge rate increases for future sessions.

and, they're too tired and embarrassed to fight with you abt it!  heh heh. 

next week, i think we'll have barney put you in the psychodrama chair, david.  then we'll have a nice, safe setting for barney to tell you how he really feels about you and what he'd really like to do to you. 

heh heh.  special for zHeads:  hidden camera closed circuit TV event tickets only $25!  per session!  remember:  every slewie-trained therapist is guaranteed to be waaay crazier than you ever could imagine.  i guarantee it!

In the middle of this century, historians will properly mock the era when, after a financial catastrophe engineered by Dodd in the Senate and Frank in the House, the alleged remedial legislation was named Dodd-Frank. Readers of those histories will be incredulous that they weren't prosecuted. Maybe there is still time to right that wrong...

We could change it to WHORE bashing day- since Barney is definitely a WHORE for the banking industry (and an ugly arrogant one at that).  Coincidentally, so was one of his previous significant others, when they were living the closet WHOREHOUSE together, that Barney claimed he didn't know was WHOREHOUSE (like the WHOREHOUSE he works in now), and yet his constituents think he has the sophistication and intelligence to regulate banks and detect and prevent their wrong doing WHORING ways... 

 

(It really is less fun using incendiary language when everyone else is doing it too.  However, I do suffer from the rather simpleton conviction that anyone who claims injury from being called childish names shouldn't really be claiming to be an equal of normal functional adults, not that anyone here is claiming injury in Fight Club.)

"Is this homophobic bigot day at ZH?"... I'll acknowlege that comment (because in aggregate - your observation is probably correct)...

I made a comment (above) to Ms. Creant which sheds more light on my posture (not that anyone really effin cares)... Furthermore - I'm NOT trying to be fucking Rodney King on this issue either...

In the end, I could really care less... I have my thoughts on the subject & I'm willing to share them with other people... Apparently - so are many, many, others (who contribute daily to Zero Hedge)...

Frankly... One of my favorite 'takeaways' here is that you never know what you're going to get... Tyler will put out a news byte, & it's up to the aggregate of readers to determine what kind of PACKAGE the thread will become... Here's all Tyler said (no more, no less)...

---

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.

Bottom line?

No.
It's a symptom of the disease in DC.  Since there's nothing of substance to discuss in the 100,000 pages of drivel effortlessly and completely gutted by the banks...

    .....there's fuck all nothing left to discuss.

To put it another way, if those elected representatives of the people did the jobs the people elected them to do as their representatives, then there'd also be nothing to discuss....

   ......and likely no Zero Hedge

Capiche?

We'd all be plumb happy listening to the View and Dancing With the Stars as out singular medium of information, for there would likely be no significant events for the MSM to even be able to draw us into the Hegelian dialect, let alone the need for a fucking Hegelian dialect. 

In fact, the world should be inspirationally, nay, should be spiritually enraptured and gleeful, that there is a ZH at time such as this.  Miscreants such as we, the community have a place to go to discuss, parry, vent and exchange, thus defusing the situation...
.... and those who might otherwise feel threatened by such as ZH while they may say so and go through the motions, instead have a venue, a magnifying glass through which to judge the viability of their actions, measure reactions... the best damned feedback mechanism in the world.

.....and they can come in and play, too.

There is no ill in this event.

Seriously?  You lost me at "what he says".   I'm stunned at then number of lies he can pour out of his diarrhea hole in one day.  Read that damn bill and tell me what it's going to do other than create the most disgusting monstrosity of a fascist state that will make China's enterprise look free?   No need to bail out the banks when you can just take them over; then you can take all the assets from anybody trying to run a legitimate business and give it to all the bankster whores who wash Bwarney's balls.  No metrics, just when the politburo decides it threatens stability, poof you are now Nationalized.  It's a bunch of crap, the laws that just set up committees and czars who then make laws as they see fit really need to end.

Where am I going?  Atleast seven levels in hell above that charlatan.  My hate has been earned in full by that morally bankrupt and treasonous snake.   I would bet my left kidney there are untold riches waiting for that scumbag when he retires for all his whoring for during the Bear Stearns bailout and taking marching orders from State Street all these years.   The only thing that makes me happy is seeing letters like these, it just proves to me that he is f...ing miserable, is a self loathing piece of shit and no matter how much money he has, or how many hired boyfriends he tries to drown his sorrows with, when it is all said and done he will spend the rest of his life running from his own deeds and ulitmately cry himself to sleep at night.

No it does not. The prostate gland is really sensitive, like a woman's g-spot. Kind of like masturbation, because their is a stigma against it, folks play with it, but don't admit it. We are in the dark ages still about sex.

But he did allow a male prostitute to insert a penis places (he admits this), and said prostitute ran his business out of Frank's home. THAT is bad judgement.

I have read research that says it is. Then there is my own experience. I think the truth is that different people have different spots in their parts that are more sensitive than others. 33% of men have really sensitive nipples, the rest don't. If you are in the 33% it is pretty cool (and their lovers can exploit it to great advantage). To tell the 2/3 of men who do not have sensitive nipples that something is wrong with them is criminal. I think g-spots are like that. If she has a spot that does that, more power to her. If she does not, there is nothing wrong with her, you just need to do something different, for her. But do try it before you deny it!!! ;-)

Prostate stim though is much more universal.

She wawked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked hew hew name and in a dawk bwown voice
She said Wowa, W-O-W-A, Wowa, W-W-Wowa

Weww, I'm not the wowwd's most physicaw guy
But when she sqweezed me tight she neawwy bwoke my spine
Oh my Wowa, W-W-Wowa

Weww, I'm not dumb but I can't undewstand
Why she wawked wike a woman but tawked wike a man
Oh my Wowa, W-W-Wowa, W-W-Wowa

Weww, we dwank champagne and danced aww night
Undew ewectwic candwewight
She picked me up and sat me on hew knee
And said, "Deaw boy, won't you come home wif me?"

Weww, I'm not the wowwd's most passionate guy
But when I wooked in hew eyes weww I awmost feww fow my Wowa
W-W-Wowa, W-W-Wowa
Wowa, W-W-Wowa, W-W-Wowa

Oh, dat scwewy wabbit!

I pushed hew away, I wawked to the doow
I feww to the fwoow, I got down on my knees
Den I wooked at hew and she at me

Dat's the way that I want it to stay
I awways want it to be that way fow my Wowa, W-W-Wowa

Giwws wiww be boys and boys wiww be giwws
It's a mixed up muddwed up, shook up wowwd
Except fow Wowa, W-W-Wowa

Weww, I weft home just a week befowe
And I'd nevew evew kissed a woman befowe
But Wowa smiwed and took me by the hand
And said, "Deaw boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

Weww, I'm not the wowwd's most mascuwine man
But I know what I am and I'm gwad I'm a man
And so is Wowa, W-W-Wowa, W-W-Wowa

Dear Mr. Frank, in response to your statement that “the appetite of Congress suggests that there is absolutely no support for bank bailouts”, then why the heck did Congress sit by as Bernanke and Geithner worked together with their favorite banks to transfer over $1.5 Trillion of the worst MBS garbage to the American taxpayers by “swapping” the banks’ MBS trash for risk-free deposits at the FED which are backed by the U.S. taxpayers thanks to Geithner’s coal-in-our-stocking Christmas Eve announcement in 2009, and which pay above-market, 3 to 4 % interest (most probably tax free) so the bankers will be happy to keep their money parked at the FED rather than loaning it to the American people and businesses!  I would also like to understand how these actions are “encouraging” the banks to lend, as the Administration has repeatedly announced to the press, because common sense logic would indicate an entirely different conclusion.  You can hardly blame any person with any common sense from recognizing this convoluted arrangement as a back-door bailout of banks, a bailout that dwarfs TARP and was orchestrated in a manner that would make the best professional, mafia money-laundering pro envious!  Or are you telling us that Congress and yourself are ignorant and entirely unaware of this back-door bailout and did not comprehend how this scheme was orchestrated?  If that is the case you and our other elected representatives have no business representing the American taxpayers in any elected or official capacity.  And if that statement is not true, then you and the other elected officials are lying to the American people, in which case you also have no business representing the American people.

amen & thank you.  history will look at this period, and say "what were they thinking....  putting TIM GEITHNER in charge of the Treasury Dept.?"

    of course geithner is just a career bob rubin toady (like larry summers & rahm emanuel),  and rubin is the archetype of a Wall St LOAN SHARK who... using BRIBERY of the "Democratic" Party... paid himself MILLIONS, for DRIVING HIS BANKS  - BOTH GS &  Citi - into the SEWER of  debt, fraud, corruption, & insolvency (requiring "BAILOUTS"  to be EXTORTED  from American working household taxpayers.) 

     this is not a complicated picture,  but geithner is especially horrific for the job.   Hell - Mr. obama PROMISED us "CHANGE" - but in Geithner & Bernanke - THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT  FINANCIAL  'leaders' in his entire presidency -   obama gave us  TWO  of Bush W's  FAILED, ECONOMY WRECKING retreads !!!!  

  THAT'S NOT CHANGE - THAT's MORE OF THE SAME !!!! 

 (and hell, neither one - bernanke or geithner - EVEN PRETENDS to be "Democratic" - they are both REGISTERED Rethuglicans!)

I see Geithner and Bernanke as puppets of the same behind-the-scene players (mostly the banking elite).  I would be shocked if they were coming up with these strategies for fleecing the rest of us by themselves.

amen.  there is nothing "liberal" about Barney Frank, or ANY of the senators & congress-critters in Washington  (as far as "sexual persuasion," plenty of Roman emperors had bi- tendencies.... that hardly made them 'liberal' any more than that Republican senator in an airport bathroom was).

     face it, people (are the ANY sentient humans out there?) - GOLDDAMN SACHS/jpm/Fed  + the War Lobby (who are, and always have been, one & the same)  have COMPLETELY TAKEN OVER the late "Democratic" Party.

    which isn't so surprising - the late "Democratic" Party TOLERATED _no_ civil rights  SEGREGATION,  well after WWII "the war to save freedom"    and clear to the start of Vietnam war 

     (where it became hard to proclaim "WE are FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY"  when TV videos showed our southern AND northern  cops  sicking dogs, firehoses, and police-batons on civil rights and anti-war protesters)  -  right up to the mid-1960s and beyond, the Dems were STILL the party that harbored troglodytes, warmongers, & bankster/robber-baron  treasury looters....

An actual reason to hold him in contempt beyond insecure posturing about his personal life would be a good start. There are plenty to choose from, but you wouldn't know that because childish cretins such as yourself are too busy wasting time on superfluous gay bashing...which makes me wonder if you're just mad that a fag took you for a ride, or if you perhaps "doth protest too much".

Hey bring it on snowball777....Facts are facts any way it's conveyed.

Frank is a manifestation of the horrors that cause destruction in peoples lives. Like I shared in an earlier post Frank is to the private sector as MRSA is to healthy tissue.

You tote some type of righteous way to do social intercourse while wanting to make people believe an image that is no more than a cancer upon the freedoms and liberties of every American citizen.You have no idea who Frank is and if you understood what he is doing and has done you might recognize that he is a destroyer of freedom.

Also, Frank is a manifestation of his personal life in public...perverted!

Oh, and there is no way I hold Frank, Dodd, or Obama in contempt, their actions speak for themselves twerp!

A better name for the "DONK" (Dodd-Frank) legislation would have been "FRODD" (Frank-Dodd).  I'm sure there was a pissing matching to see who deserved the name on the bill first.
