I love Barney Frank .

He went on bills show and handed him his ass.

-This is why your stupidity gets in the way of rational discussion," replied Frank. "This 'maniliness' stuff is very unbecoming. ... You think toughness is yelling and ranting and trying to bully us. It's not going to work with me. ... You don't listen at all -- or maybe you listen and you're too dumb to understand"

1. I do, too, Charles....

...and speaking as a straight female, it disappoints the hell out of me that he is gay cuz I think he is one of the sexiest men around! I would chase the hell out of him if I could!

:hi:

[ccharles000]

2. He is cute for an old guy.

[Hepburn]

3. He is not that much older than me...

...LOL! I keep forgetting I am an Old Gal!

I love his personality ~~ and he is so smart and tells it like it is.

I just love him!

:hi:

7. ...

[sunnybrook]

4. O'Reilly needs to die

[Hepburn]

5. Too good for him, IMO. n/t

[VespertineIconoclast]

6. Barney Frank is definitely the greatness.

He is straight-forward, blunt, and not afraid to talk about what he really thinks and feels. I have a lot of respect for the man.

[MannyGoldstein]

8. He's Wearing On Me

He is very clever, but on issues he's moved fairly rightward over the past decade or so.

He's my rep, and given our quirky district, he's got the seat for life if he wants.

[RollWithIt]

9. the saddest part of this whole bailout thing was seeing DU'ers bash it knowing the Frank has been...

At war over this for years now. Watching a blowhard like O'Reilly distort the facts makes it even harder to read.

[ccharles000]

10. I agree.

[Forkboy]

16. Frank has been my favorite forever. I was still against the bailout.

He has my respect, but not my undying devotion. :shrug:

[msallied]

11. What a disingenuous piece of crap!!

How can O'Reilly even BEGIN to insinuate that this problem only began in 2007?! Is he fucking SERIOUS?? People have been warning about this since 2005, for crying out loud! God, that guy makes me puke. I'm glad that Frank stood up to him, though I doubt it swayed many of the prick's legion. ugh.

12. Barney needs our support now more than ever

This crisis is very hard on everyone in Congress and I don't want to see them make him into their fall guy.

[ccharles000]

19. yup

[vaberella]

13. Barney Frank is the man and says it like it is. I hope this is on youtube. n/t

[rexy]

22. It is. Watching it now.

[AZBlue]

15. Barney Frank is one of my favorite people in Congress.

[Forkboy]

17. He's one of the best we've got.

When he was running here in Mass at the end of his tv ads he'd say, "I'm Barney Frank and I approve of this message. Who else would?"

Got to love the guy. :)

[SwampG8r]

18. i never gave him much thought

but after that mighty mouse line he is my hero
totally cracked me up

[Hippo_Tron]

20. There's smart, there's fucking smart, and then there's Barney Frank

He should've just gone back to reading his paper and let Billo the Clown rant all he wants and then ask if he was done.

[nam78_two]

21. He is awesome-O'Reilly behaved like a pig

I thought Frank was awesome but I couldn't watch that through to the end ...
