I don’t think Barney Frank is Wesley Mouch. I think he’s more like Ellsworth M. Toohey from The Fountainhead, i.e. the villain who knows he’s destroying all that is good simply because it IS good.

I agree with you but he was the best choice from those offered up by Stossel.

While there is much talk about making Rand’s Atlas chronicle into a movie “The Fountainhead” was made into one staring Gary Cooper. What I remember of the (B&W) flick as a kid of 12-13 some 60 years or so years ago was “Coop” blowing up some buildings because he as the architect was forced to compromize his design. If I see it as a DVD or (even tape) on sale for 50 cents in some Goodwill or similar second hand store will pick it up and re-review it and revise any previous opinion .
