Blargh First Amendment! January you became Chairman? But conservative I care about poor people AIG billions! Bush? Paulson? YOU LIE! BLARGH! HITLER OBAMA JESUS! I trust I have made myself clear (retucks shirt).
Have you, sir, no decency, whatever that is? At long last. Blargh.
For more from this new conservative hero, check out his past publications, shown at Sadly, No as Step 4 in "becoming a new wingnut icon in three laughably easy steps.
FYI and in re: Barney Frank, I like Barney Frank and I laughed out loud at Pollak's lame attack, but as a Democrat, I feel no loyalty to persons or to the party if they aren't upholding the principles. This SN commenter has it right. Sadly: true.
well, barney’s not exactly clean in all this IMHO. he made the same choice the rest of the democrats did, to become beholden to financial services interests in the name of getting re-elected and getting really good junkets.
that doesn’t change the essential point that he didn’t run a committee until 2007, the CRA was only responsible for 6% of the total sub-prime market (and the prime market isn’t so great either) etc. etc. it’s not that barney is wrong in what he says–unlike his republican counterparts,
he’s actually a brilliant guy–it’s just that he drank the same fucking koolaid as everyone else, and as an actually existing brilliant person in congress (rara avis indeed) he feels like a shithead about it. and has to defend himself by misleading, however eloquently, in public. i would say...pollak [is] barney’s punishment, and frankly i think it is the least barney deserves.
Yeah. But if he sees them all off as trenchantly as he did this one, I may eventually forgive if not forget.
