Frank, the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, pushed back hard, lambasting Pollak for asking an accusatory question, dismissing his arguments as totally wrong, and asserting that he was part of a right-wing attack on liberals. I note that he didn't answer the question.

Frank, the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, pushed back hard... Yeah, there's something I bet he does real well.

He gave him the option of ‘if any’. Frank could have said he had no responsibility for the crisis, but he didn’t want to audience to die laughing.

There needs to be an investigation!

Typical Boston Globe. Read the full story. They suddenly switch from Pollack to Brown, who is running against Frank. She apparently accused Frank of pushing “Nazi policies”.
Me, I do not trust the Globe to report the facts on anything except the ball scores - which I always double check in case on that day they were compiled by the editors!

I'm thinking of a typical job interview question:
"Tell me some of your weaknesses."
"Well, I really care about details. I really want to get things right. Sometimes that slows me down, but I've learned to monitor myself and I do a good job of staying on schedule -- even if I have to work long hours to do so."
Or, you could respond with: "Weaknesses?? Weakenesses? You think I'm weak? I can't believe you're attacking me! Why should I work for some crumby outfit which is insulting me? Take this job and shove it!"
But maybe Barney doesn't understand how the real world discusses job performance.

There were people in this society who for economic and, frankly, social reasons cant and shouldnt be homeowners, Frank said. I think we should, particularly, stop this assumption that you put everybody into homeownership.

Bawney doesn’t operate in the “real world”! I don’t think he’s ever had a real job.

I just love this candidate. He’s smart, witty, great sense of humor, and a command of the issues.
It’s too much to hope he can unseat that witch Schakowsky, but....you never know:

But maybe Barney doesn't understand how the real world discusses job performance. Or how to give a canned response to a standard interview question. Most politicians are good at that. Barney just doesn't like having to explain. Once he got by that deal of his boyfriend two timing him out of his own apartment he thinks he has said enough.
At the link it shows Pollack leaning against a wall. Signs on the wall say "Ramp to Chicago" with a symbol of a wheel chair, and "Train to Chicago" with a symbol of stairs. I assume that means one can either take a train to Chicago or get there by wheel chair on a ramp. That would be a long haul and probably uphill all the way.
