"What makes this all the more painfully ironic is that it is precisely those members of Congress who have had the most to do with creating the risks that led to the current economic crisis who are making the most noise against others, and summoning people before their committee to be browbeaten and humiliated on nationwide television."Exactly! It is time politicans like Franks be held accountable. And Republicans must call for it.

Allow me to remind you of what always happens in a communist society you so fervently crave. There are no freebies to give away! You have to WORK! For crusts of bread. WORK! All you Maynard G. Krebs morons. NO FUN ALLOWED! Still want to be a socialist you stupid dumbass bozos!!!???

“Barney Frank is a despicable POS”
Agree for sure. What's in the water up there in Massachusetts anyway. There's Barney Frank, Teddy Kennedy, and of course we can't forget John Kerry. Wow, now there's a trifecta for you!

Congressman Barney Frank has threatened to summon these executives before his committee and force them to reveal their home addresses which would of course put their wives and children at the mercy of whatever kooks might want to literally take a shot at them. Just who the f**k does Barney Frank think he is?

Thanks for the ping jaz. I get the impression reading this one that Dr. Sowell is quite frustrated with the whole lot of those Moron’s on the Hill.
I second that emotion.

I don't know why the people summoned before congress show Bawney “The Rimmer” Fwank any respect.
I would just sit there and throw every question back at him.

Chapter 11 would have been best.
The AIG bonuses should been delt with before the latest $30 Billion bailout.
Timmy knew about these bonuses for months before now ?
Many of the bonus were to be paid to non-Americans ?

Slowly the public is starting to understand. Hopefully not too slowly. We have a Manchurian President. A vast Left Wing Conspiracy. Far Far Left. I can not help but think the Democrats will end up impeaching him to try to save their own butts.
To: rockinqsranch
You bet he is, RQSR and he didn’t mince any words in calling out Frank and Dodd, they should both be keel hauled.

summoning people before their committee to be browbeaten and humiliated on nationwide television. It would be delicious for one of those folks to absolutely rake Barney Fag over the coals for his shortcomings and genuine stupidity. Would be worth the contempt of congress citation. Hell, I would have it framed. But then again I'm already hold congress in contempt.
