CBS: Barney Frank is the smartest guy in Congress

Read story here

Really CBS? Smartest guy in Congress?

This is the same guy who:
  • Stated boldly that Fannie and Freddie were in perfectly good health and there was nothing to worry about.
  • Was involved in a prostitution ring scandal.
  • Authored the TARP bailout, basically giving Henry Paulson free reign, limitless power and unlimited taxpayer dollars. Not to mention it was loaded with pork. How'd that turn out Mr. Frank?
  • Authored the auto bailout, which added even more governmental control and added another layer of government bureaucracy ("car czar").
  • Refuses to admit any wrongdoing in this economic meltdown, choosing rather to pass the buck like every other politician.
I understand that CBS is a liberal media outlet, but this is laughable. Even the most liberal of individuals would agree that Frank has made a joke out of Congress.

Besides that, the words "smart" and "Congress" need to be used very carefully.

  1. It's a downright shame that delicious hits like this one get lost in the absolute blizzard of Bull-Crap blown in our face by the media fans and fannies. Speaking of "Refusing to admit any wrongdoing in this economic meltdown, choosing rather to pass the buck like every other politician", shouldn't US also use the word "buck" more carefully as well?
