Barney Frank Strikes Back

By Trevor Timm

After the Republican Leaders blamed Nancy Pelosi for hurting their feelings before the vote and so therefore voted against The Bailout Bill, reporters asked her to respond to those charges. Instead, Finance Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA) took the question.

After expressing semi-sarcastic shock at Republicans’ apparently grave self esteem issues, Frank pleaded with them to rise above it. “I’ll make them an offer. Give me those twelve people’s names, and I will go talk uncharacteristically nicely tell them; and tell them what wonderful people they are, and maybe they’ll now think about the country.”
