Barney Gets One Right, Favors Defunding ACORN
2009-09-24 01:24:00 Well, Barney may not have learned from the role of the Community Reinvestment Act in creating the mortgage meltdown, but he does seem to have learned from the steady drip-drip of untoward practices in various ACORN offices around the country.

2009-08-20 02:10:00 Once again, the mainstream media covers for the unhappy Barney Frank, reporting his arrogance as a principled reaction to a troglodytic Republican. In an article for the AP, a reporter neglects the many times the cranky Democrat condescended to his constituents to focus on an exchange with an unhinged left-winger: Rep.

Why Barney Frank Ran for Congress
2009-08-12 06:15:00 His drag career went bust. Maybe that’s why the unhappy Congressman is so mean-spirited. He just doesn’t look good in a dress. (H/t Attila the Honey (potential blogress diva?) via the People’s Cube.) FROM THE COMMENTS: Jana writes, “Too bad he beclowns himself in a far more humiliating manner every day.”

50 Co-Sponsors of Rep. Barney Frank Bill
2009-07-29 16:07:00 H.R. 2267, known as Rep.Barney Frank’s Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act, now has 50 co-sponsors. The bill, which was introduced in May, would allow licensed online poker and Internet gambling companies to operate in the U.S. Lets all hope that more will soon follow suit and join in on co-sponsoring this bill that will regulate online poker. I am sad to report that at this time no one from my home state of South Carolina is. A list of the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act (H.R. 2267) co-sponsors are : · Alaska: Don Young (R At-Large) · Arizona: Raul Grijalva (D 7th) · California: Michael Thompson (D 1st), George Miller (D 7th), Michael Honda (D 15th), Linda Sanchez (D 39th), Bob Filner (D 51st) · Colorado: Jared Polis (D 2nd), Ed Perlmutter (D 7th) · Connecticut: Joe Courtney (D 2nd) · Florida: Robert Wexler (D 19th), Alcee Hastings (D 23rd) · Hawaii: Neil A...
Barney Blames GOP for Crisis he Abetted by Thwarting Reforms they Proposed
2009-07-09 09:33:00 Imagine how the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media would have reacted if Republicans had succeeded in blocking the “stimulus” and the economy remained in the doldrums. If the Republicans blamed the majority party for inaction, they would accuse us of hypocrisy while lecturing us on the evils of Republican obstructionism. Although the “stimulus” ...

Beyond Barney; Democrats are Regular Disrememberers
