Barney’s shame

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi I have always had a hard time liking. But Barney Frank, once upon a time, was different. Maybe it’s the amusing way he talks, like he’s chewing his cud at the same time. Or his basic dishevelment, strange for a gay man, a breed that’s usually groomed.

But I can’t watch him do pressers about the awful GOP who won’t support the bailout. This whole thing has well been called "Barney’s Rubble." No one fought harder to keep the steam up when the Bush administration tried to halt the coming train wreck. No one got more "donations" from Fannie and Freddie, or bears more responsibility for what happened, not even Barney’s and Nancy’s best buddy Barry. In a way, the whole bailout is for what’s left of Barney’s piddling reputation.

MORE: Wonder why Pelosi won’t allow an investigation (she calls it a "witch hunt") into who caused this mess? Come on, now. That’s a big enough tipoff, right there.
