In any event, Congress is well rid of him, as are the entire American people. I'm also considering that he is so sleazy that he has made some kind of under-the-table deal which will result in more money for him as well as some kind of power-sharing agreement with the other liberal Democrats.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-69324153821606856192011-12-01T22:39:12.402-05:002011-12-01T22:39:12.402-05:00T-Rav: I love Bob Beckel.

He livens things up by saying the most outrageous things, and saying them with conviction.

On Fox News' "The Five," Bob Beckel (a huge liberal) said he thought Frank was one of the greatest men currently serving in the House, and then seemed genuinely astonished when everyone else shot him down. What Frank did that was ever great, I can't fathom. And now I will get off before the temptation to make a really disgusting joke about him become too great.T-Ravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861218035729479354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-7614876634344910422011-12-01T21:21:28.078-05:002011-12-01T21:21:28.078-05:00Stan: I think all of us feel pretty much the same...Stan: I think all of us feel pretty much the same way. I don't claim to have all the facts, but with one exception, I don't think Frank has actually committed any actions which are criminal in nature (unless you consider screwing America criminal).<br /><br />Ethics investigations don't extend past the member's term, so that wouldn't help. In other words, without further substantiated violations Frank will just walk away from all his wrongdoing with no penalty of any kind.<br /><br />The one exception I mention is the prostitution issue. But even that is very dicey. The statute of limitations on criminal wrongdoing is tolled (suspended) if a criminal charge is launched against a Congressman while he is in office. But as far as I know, Frank himself was never charged with a crime, so it may be too late anyway. It would be hard to prove, even at the time it occurred, that Frank himself was an active part of a criminal conspiracy. All these years later, it would be nearly impossible.<br /><br />We need to dedicate ourselves to what can be done now, rather than what should be done but won't later. As much as it grates on my nerves, I think Frank has dodged the bullet entirely.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-29599728001922524132011-12-01T20:43:19.459-05:002011-12-01T20:43:19.459-05:00My, my slobbering Barney Frank will be missed…not!...My, my slobbering Barney Frank will be missed…not! If ever there was a statist pig bastard that should be happily dropping the soap in a prison shower, it’s him. It’s also a bit sad if we collapse as a country, that Barney will not be there for the tar-n-feathers action, I could, and would make and argument that he should be first on a rail. Instead he’ll just waltz away unscathed, the SOB. <br /><br />As we’ve discussed before I don’t like political recriminations ala a Banana – Republic, but damn, these people are no better than a common criminal, hell worse, it’s sanctioned. We have to fire enough of these political creeps in coming elections to get at the hive, and put some asses in a sling. God!

Pelosi's constituency won't abandon her under any circumstances, and now it would end up being just a distraction from beating Obama.<br /><br />And look at Frank. Caught living with and supporting a male prositute who was running a prostitution ring out of Frank's condo. And he stayed in Congress. As the joke goes: "All he did was turn over a page."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-6200722047430976642011-12-01T18:54:39.724-05:002011-12-01T18:54:39.724-05:00Joel: Thanks for the "nuance" link.

Massachusetts had to lose several seats based on the census and it changed the demographics in Frank's newly-drawn district. With a 100% safe seat, Pelosi has little to worry about with ethical violations. Even if they removed her from her seat, she'd be re-elected and put right back where she was, only now with a big grudge to go with her nasty temperament.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-5566782077542547012011-12-01T18:41:51.176-05:002011-12-01T18:41:51.176-05:00I'm gonna miss Ol' Bawnee almost as much a...I'm gonna miss Ol' Bawnee almost as much as I miss The Weiner.

Watching him explode when caught with his hand in the cookie jar was always a lot of laughs. But overall, it's best he's going to be gone, gone, gone. At least from Congress.
