| Sorry, Barney Frank, but you canÂ’t be trusted |
| 2010-11-04 |
| Barney seemed to have forgotten: He won. Big. And he was lucky he did. The contrast between a nasty, bitter Frank and his grateful, graceful opponent, Sean Bielat, could not have been more stark. Equally glaring is the double standard Frank enjoys. No female politician could last five minutes as such a condescending, abusive bully. Neither could a conservative. So he gets a special pass because why? Because he’s gay? Because he’s allegedly “whip-smart,” as supporters still say? Careful, calling a gay a gay may be considered a hate crime. Alas, Mr. Whip Smart wasn’t smart enough to see the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae disaster that resulted in the cruelest foreclosure crisis since the Great Depression. And he’s not enough of a stand-up guy to fully admit his role. |

| #4 You can pull off the arrogant act when you're young. When you're 70, you come off as a cranky, bitter old fart. |

| #2 I'd say he knew it was coming but saw an opportunity to foist the blame on Bush and the Republicans. |

| #1 1) Didn't see the disaster coming? 2) Saw it and let it happen anyway? 3) Engineered the whole thing on purpose? They're all fair questions. |
