Act Your Age! Barney Frank Barks at CodePink Ladies
March 25, 2009 12:56 PM ET
By Amanda Ruggeri, Washington Whispers

Missing in all the coverage yesterday dominated by President Obama's press conference and his economic team seeking expanded bank-seizing authority was the craziness at the AIG hearings before Rep. Barney Frank's Financial Services Committee. The setting: Before the committee were Fed chief Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner talking about the economy and their bank plan. Behind them in the audience were the always outspoken CodePink women, an antiwar grass-roots organization that has expanded its attentions from Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld to dogging Democrats on economic policies.

As the hearing began, CodePink started to protest. Frank interrupted not one, but both, of the headlined witnesses to admonish the protesters in the room. Frank hated their signs and their outbursts, questioning if they understood the seriousness of his business.

"The next one to hold the sign up, it is distracting to people. I understand that there are some people for whom rational discussion is not an appropriate means of repressing themselves. You are entitled to do that in general, but not in a way that interrupts those of us who are trying to have rational discussion, so the next one to hold a sign will be ejected. I do not know how you think you advance any cause to which you might be attached by this kind of silliness," said a stern Frank.

When they agitated behind Geithner, Frank erupted. "Geithner, will you stop, please? Will you please act your age back there? Stop playing with that sign. If you have no greater powers of concentration, then you leave the room. We're trying to have a serious discussion, which will include, as you understand, a lot of criticism."

At one point code stink was an anti war movement....now it’s just an anti movement.

Is this an exact quote or is the reporting off? The sentence structure and choice of words is weird to say the least. Is Barney Frank alright? He seems to be losing it.

Code Pink 'Bundles' for Barack, 4/14/2008

"The co-founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink [Jodie Evans] has “bundled” more than $50,000 for Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and pro-troops groups are demanding that he return the money."

They were never "anti-war". They were and are still pro-communist.

They are only for "peace" if America submits to communism. They are admirers of Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Legitimate pacifists don't support communist revolutionaries.

Oh my, a hissy fit.

It was OK for them to blast unspeakable epitets at Bush, Chaney and Rumsfeld, but not the queen?

What a fussy fat-arsed rump ranger, Barney Frank is. He-she’s an embarrassing fool.
