As in Barney Frank? Chairman of the Finance Services committe for the past 2 years and influential member since he's been in congress. Here's just a sampling of what he has said and been doing:
"July 2003, Freddie Mac's multibillion-dollar accounting scandal broke into the open. But Mr. Frank was sanguine. "I do not think we are facing any kind of a crisis," he said at the time. Three months later he repeated the claim that Fannie and Freddie posed no "threat to the Treasury." Even suggesting that heresy, he added, could become "a self-fulfilling prophecy." In April 2004, Fannie announced a multibillion-dollar financial "misstatement" of its own. Mr. Frank was back for the defense. Fannie and Freddie posed no risk to taxpayers, he said, adding that "I think Wall Street will get over it" if the two collapsed. Then in July of this year: “Of the problems that were created by the reckless deregulation that led to the subprime crisis and the neglect of affordable housing that has marked Republican rule in Congress, this package of measures is the best response we could make. It cannot solve all of these deep rooted problems immediately but the bill does represent a mutually reinforcing set of approaches that will begin to diminish the problem,” said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA). “This will begin to lay the groundwork for a turnaround in the housing market and hopefully in the broader economy as well.” Geez, I wonder why the dems and liberals have tucked him away somewhere?

You've plagiarized your post. I may have to suspend you in the future if you continue to post copyrighted material as if it is your own words. We all know that you aren't that smart and literate, so you can't fake it.

Compared to using personal information gathered from a charitable event, in a moment of anger, that's much worse than forgetting some quotation marks...........don't ya think? Does this quote come to mind at all: """"""""""""""""""""absolute power corrupts absolutely"""""""""""""" LOL

I've heard of people not being able to see for the forest for the trees. But not being able to see the tree for the rings in the tree. I like that one.

Exie, in a sense, you're right, as I rarely consider the substance of your posts. This is due to your smug, humorless and self-satisfied message board persona that makes your offerings consistently repugnant. And yes, "smug" and "self-satisfied" can be applied to me and others here (and often are), too. The difference is that we welcome the criticism and enjoy the banter. You're the cranky, mirthless old man on the porch yelling worthless epithets at the kids playing out front. |
