Barney Frank is a moron. Not necessarily for this, but he's a complete idiot.

Well if scaeagles says so, it must be true.

I don't think this was the type of tact I suppose a public official should employ in such situations, but I've been dying to see one such official lay it out quite as plainly for one such retarded neanderthal constituent.

Why, because he disagrees with you?

Um, no. Mostly because he engineered the whole Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae lending to unqualified borrowers, pushing legislation to force other banks to lend to less than qualified borrowers, playing a HUGE part in the current economic situation, and recently has asked again for the Freddy and Fannie to be able to relax their lending standards.

There are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many more reasons, but that's the primary one.

I don't know about that cult business, JWBear, but the willingness of the Republican party's Unsilent Minority to knowingly disseminate incorrect information in order to keep the grass-roots minions scared and angry is disturbing. The right-wing media machine is the greatest threat to our collective intelligence since MTV.

Agreed.

As they say, a political gaffe is accidentally telling the truth.
