If the Guinness Book of World records had a hypocrisy category, the winner would be Barney Frank, Chairman of the House Banking Committee. Let me revise that, he wouldn't be the winner, after this latest example they would retire the category.
Yesterday Mr. Frank called for prosecution of the people who caused the banking crisis--see this interview from CNBC yesterday....
...The first person that Barney Frank should go after is Barney Frank. Frank and his Democratic friends have brought down the banking industry by forcing banks to give loans to people who couldn't afford them, then blunting Republican attempts to regulate the industry:

More proof that back door barney is losing his mind
Barney Frwank’s arrogance is made possible by a media he knows will never hold him accountable for such outrageous hypocrisy.
I expect that his statement will make O’Reilly and Beck’s shows, though.
It seems that Republicans should be able to make use of this if they had half the stones of Ann Coulter.
Barney just wants to be in the same cell as Herb Moses so he can resume the position.
Instead of allowing the housing market to correct to its fair value, President Obama and Barney Frank will attempt to “mitigate” foreclosures. Mr. Frank has big plans for your tax dollars , “We may need more than $50 billion for foreclosure [mitigation]”. What this means is that you will be making your monthly mortgage payment and in addition you will be making a $100 payment per month for a deadbeat who bought more house than they could afford, is still watching a 52 inch HDTV, still eating in their perfect kitchens with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Barney thinks he can reverse the law of supply and demand by throwing your money at the problem. He will succeed in wasting billions of tax dollars and home prices will still fall 20% to 30%. Unsustainably high home prices can not be sustained. I would normally say that even a 3rd grader could understand this concept. But, instead I’ll say that even a U.S. Congressman should understand this.

First time I have ever agreed with Barney Frank.
