Barney Frank is a busy guy, so we suppose it's no great surprise that he used a ghost writer for his recent Supreme Court amicus brief in a big securities tort case. Imagine our surprise, however, to learn that the ghost is none other than tort kingpin Bill Lerach's favorite lobbying outfit.

This should be a major scandal, but I'm sure the mainstream media will ignore it.

Barney Frank, scandal? Nah! What’s this compared to a gay prostitution ring being run out of his townhouse by his housekeeper and driver . . .

actually this is exactly the kind the thing the democrats were railing against.

Here you have special interest groups with already to sign special interest laws.

(see the 1958 movie “the fearmongers”) an excellent cold war era movie about how special interest manipulation via poll rigging and fake grass roots are used to influence peddle.
